Gym Marketing with a website is a very important strategy to be added to your arsenal of lead generating and closing sales.
Anchor text when used properly is a powerful way to make your site more relevant for the keyword phrases you are trying to be found under in the search engines.
Anchor text is the visible, clickable text used in a hyperlink.
As search engines crawl your Gyms website they are looking for text they can use to determine what your page is about. And they are looking for links (hyperlinks), they can use to access other pages of your site. Using anchor text links to connect similar pages of content with the same keyword phrases tells the search engines that your Gyms website is a relevant resource for that search term.
The more relevant Google thinks your site is for your targeted keyword, the more likely your site will list higher in the rankings than your competitor’s site.
The key is to link similar content pages within your own website. So when trying to rank high for the keyword phrase, “Best Personal Trainer In Los Angeles.” You want to search through the many articles on your site talking about your personal training staff. And then link the 2 or more articles together using this keyword phrase in the hyperlink (anchor text).
Example: As used inside one of your articles about your trainers on staff.
“John Adams has been on our staff since 2003 and was voted best personal trainer in Los Angeles in 2008.”
So you make the keyword phrase a hyperlink that clicks through to your other article on your gyms site. That is marketing the talents of another one of your personal trainers on staff. And then do the same anchor text link on the other article, linking back to this first article.
Example:
“Sheri Copeland has been with us since we opened in 2001. And she is the most popular among our large membership base of successful entrepreneurial women. Sheri was voted best personal trainer in Los Angeles for females in 2005 and 2008.”
So you can see how to use anchor text in your article links to improve your gym marketing and the search engines love it. Find as many ways to link your own website content together with anchor text links to improve your ranking for the popular keywords you are working on. Marketing your Gym is a never ending process so keep adding more and more articles and use anchor text to link them together.
