Disputed-lead recovery

We monitor and dispute spam or off-target leads with Google so you're not paying for junk inquiries.

Local Services Ads for Gyms FAQ

Questions gym owners ask.

How is Local Services Ads different from regular Google Ads?+

Local Services Ads charge you per lead (a call or message), not per click, and they appear above the standard search ads with a Google Guaranteed badge. Regular Google Ads charge per click and link to your website. Many local businesses run both — Local Services for verified leads, Search Ads for broader reach.

What is the Google Guaranteed badge and how do I get it?+

It's a green checkmark Google adds to your listing after you pass a background and license check. It signals trust and improves your contact rate. We manage the screening process for you so the badge goes live as fast as Google allows.

What if I get a bad or fake lead?+

You can dispute leads that are spam, out of your service area, or for services you don't offer. We monitor every lead and file disputes with Google on your behalf, so you're not paying for inquiries that were never real opportunities.

How do we compete with $10/mo big-box gyms?+

We compete on value, community, and coaching quality — not price. The people who will pay $65/mo for your gym will never be satisfied at Planet Fitness. We find them specifically.

Can you reduce the January spike / March falloff pattern?+

We build consistent month-over-month acquisition campaigns so you're adding new members all year — reducing dependence on January. Retention campaigns also reduce the March churn.

Can you specifically promote personal training?+

Yes — PT campaigns are high-value and we build them separately. Targeting people who want accountability and guided results, not just gym access.
