Optimizing Your Website for Better SEO
Keeping your website active, relevant, and aligned with what people are searching for is key to showing up in local search results, especially for potential clients looking for a gym like yours.
1. Website Content Tips
Write New Blog Posts
Aim to post at least once a month. You can write about:
- Member success stories
- Fitness tips
- Gym events or challenges
Common client questions
Regular blog posts help show Google (and visitors) that your gym is active and knowledgeable.
Keep Page Content Fresh and Relevant - do not use AI tools
Don’t let your website feel outdated. Review your pages every few months and make sure:
- Class descriptions are accurate
- Staff bios are current
- Hours, prices, and schedule are up to date
Use Unique Images from Your Gym
Avoid stock photos when possible. Use real pictures of your gym, team, and members. It makes your website feel more authentic and helps build trust with visitors.
Use SEO Tools Like Rank Math or Yoast
These tools help you:
- Add meta descriptions
Catch small mistakes that could hurt your rankings
(We use Rank Math on all newer KILO websites by default.)
Add keywords
Keywords
Use Location-Specific and Program-Specific Keywords
When writing content, naturally include phrases like:
- “CrossFit gym in [Your City]”
- “Best personal training in [Neighborhood]”
“Weightlifting classes for beginners in [Area]”
These help Google match your website with what people are actually searching for in your area. Use them in:
- Headlines (H1, H2)
- Paragraphs
- Image ALT text
- Page titles and meta descriptions
