Building A Digital Presence For A Small Business Gym

True Strength MMA has been in the Roswell, GA area for six years, yet they continued to appear on the second to the third search results page on Google when searching for terms like mma in roswell ga. They had a website that was not the best in terms of design and usability. Primitive Design Co. determined that what they needed was a comprehensive overhaul of their website, from restructuring their entire website architecture to creating an SEO strategy to help them get ranked in Google as best as possible and to provide their mobile users a great experience across all devices. Once the site launched, True Strength MMA had a significant increase in search results visibility after a month. Scroll down to Timeline and Results to see how they’re performing today.

Defining An Audience And Developing A Digital Brand Voice

We determined their biggest value proposition was their overall customer service. When you walk through the doors of True Strength MMA, they’re very friendly and you can sense there are no pushy sales tactics involved with customers’ free trials. From this information alone, we could define who their ideal buyer personas were: customers who were looking for a martial arts gym where they felt comfortable and part of a community who may have had negative experiences with previous gyms.


Structuring Page Flows For Optimal Prospect Conversion

When we were performing their initial site audit, we took note that there were no points of conversion for customers. Their site navigation was all over the place and it was quite difficult to navigate and find the information customers and prospects were looking for. We added clear call-to-actions in specific areas of each page to optimally drive form submissions to bring in quality leads.

Addressing All SEO Crawl Issues

Our first step of performing an SEO audit includes running the entire site through a site crawler. These crawlers will tell us if you have any underlying errors that may be hurting your search results rankings on Google. We ran their website through an SEO crawler and found several technical errors needing to be addressed. After we handled all errors, there was an improvement in search rankings after one month.

A Website Built For Future Growth

We made it a point to our client that it’s important to constantly make improvements to their website. A website is never perfect - we’re always looking for areas of improvement. That’s why we recommended Squarespace to our client because it’s a platform that’s flexible enough for us to run various A/B testing experiments and quickly and effectively make changes as we go.

Our Results And Timeline

After two months and two weeks, we were able to launch the new True Strength MMA website and successfully submit it to the Google Search Console for indexing. The two months involved us defining buyer personas, creating a new site architecture, creating SEO outlines for every page, writing all of the new content for each page, building every page in Squarespace, and connecting their site to their Google My Business for simple accessibility. 

Since we launched in August 2020, True Strength MMA has averaged 15-20 leads every month and they have converted every website lead into a customer. They reported a significant increase in monthly revenue and are on track to opening their second location soon. Feel free to check out their new site by clicking here.
