For gyms, studios and spas
Show up on the map when someone nearby searches for your class
Your next member searches "pilates near me" and picks from the map. We fix the Google Business profile they see first, with the right categories, photos, booking link and posts, then tidy the local details on your site that help it rank. For most local studios this comes before any ad spend.
What you get
What’s included
Profile optimization
Primary and secondary categories, services, description, hours and attributes set to match the words people search for.
Photos
Your photos sorted and uploaded so the listing shows the space, the classes and the people who teach them.
Booking link
Your booking or trial link added to the listing, so people can book a class without hunting through your site.
Posts
Starter posts for offers, events and timetable changes, and a simple routine for keeping them current.
Local details on your site
Business name, address and phone made consistent between your site and listing, with location details added to your key pages.
Competitor comparison
A look at the businesses outranking you nearby and what their listings have that yours doesn't.
A good fit if
- Gyms, yoga and pilates studios, spas and wellness centers that win customers within a short drive
- Owners whose Google listing was set up years ago and hasn't been touched since
- Studios getting calls about wrong hours or classes they stopped running
- Med spas and clinics competing for treatment searches in one area
Not included
- Monthly upkeep such as service pages, suburb pages and local signals. That's the local SEO retainer.
- A review request system, which is a separate setup or part of the Local Domination package.
- Booking software setup, if you don't have online booking yet.
- Photography. We use the photos you have and tell you which shots are missing.
- Guaranteed map positions. Distance from the searcher and local competition are outside anyone's control.

Questions
Questions about Local SEO and Google Business profile
Is this a one-time job or a monthly service?
This package is a one-time setup. If you want service pages, suburb pages and local signals maintained month after month so rankings hold, the local SEO retainer starts from $299 a month.
How long before we move up the map?
Local search builds over months. Distance from the person searching also plays a part, so a single studio rarely ranks across a whole city. We'll tell you what's realistic for your area before you start.
Do you need our Google login?
No. You add us as a manager on the profile and can remove us at any time. The listing stays in your account.
Do we need a new website as well?
Usually not. Most of the early gains come from the listing and a few page fixes. A rebuild only makes sense when the site itself is holding you back.
Where do reviews fit in?
Reviews affect both where you appear and whether people click. The review system setup is a separate package, and the Local Domination package bundles it with profile optimization, local SEO and refreshed pages.
