Every Google surface at once

One campaign reaches buyers on YouTube, Search, Maps, Gmail, Display, and Discover — wherever they are in Google's ecosystem.

Video that builds demand

YouTube ads put your business in front of people before they're searching, building awareness that feeds your search and Maps results.

We define real conversion goals — calls, bookings, form fills — so the AI optimizes toward revenue, not clicks.

Performance Max for Gyms FAQ

Questions gym owners ask.

What is Performance Max?+

It's Google's AI-driven campaign that runs across all of Google — YouTube, Search, Display, Gmail, Maps, and Discover — from one setup. You provide creative and conversion goals; Google's automation decides where and when to show your ads. It needs careful guardrails to stay efficient, which is what we manage.

Will YouTube ads actually get me local customers?+

Yes, when targeted tightly to your service area and paired with clear conversion goals. YouTube builds awareness and demand before people search, which lifts the performance of your search and Maps presence — it's a demand-building layer, not just branding.

Do I need to make videos for this?+

Helpful, but not a blocker. We can produce simple, effective video from your photos and footage, and pair it with image and text assets. The campaign performs better with video, and we handle creating it.

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.
