What we did

The new website launched in in July 2020, in the middle of the COVID pandemic. Despite this the website has seen a steady growth in traffic and membership, demonstrating the importance of SEO as a long-term strategy. The continuous work throughout the lockdowns meant the gym website was in prime position for when day to day life could return to normal.

The Result

The goal was to hit 1,000 members in year one, a goal that was quickly surpassed in May 2021 with 1,700 new memberships. The website has been consistently hitting monthly enquiry targets due to the excellent rankings and usability of the site.

After membership growth, our secondary goal was to drive revenue through Team Building enquires, this has seen a dramatic growth well above industry averages.

Other successes include:
