Company Background

Screen shot 2012-12-18 at 12.19.17 PM

The Santa Barbara Athletic Club is a full-service fitness and athletic club in Santa Barbara, CA. Though a state of the art gym in the area, the club's online visibility had much room for improvement, being found past the 50th result on Google when searched under both "Santa Barbara Gym" and "Santa Barbara Fitness" a few months ago. Collectively, these two key phrases gather more than 6,000 local monthly searches, meaning the Santa Barbara Athletic Club was nearly invisible to 6,000 potential customers and new members. Determining they no longer wanted to ignore the online traffic that could be directed their way, the gym decided to sign up for local search optimization in hopes of enhancing their search engine presence.
