EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. SEO doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try SEO” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Marseille fitness & wellness is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
45,000 fitness businesses in Marseille. Only the ranked ones fill classes.
Marseille's fitness & wellness sector is heavily reliant on social media discovery, leaving a critical gap in organic search visibility. With €2,200 average monthly digital spend across SMBs, most studios skip SEO entirely—creating a low-competition window for early movers. Local SEO and 'near me' searches dominate booking behavior, but established gyms monopolize these results. Your new studio doesn't need to compete on ad spend; you need to own the search results.
The 3 places Marseille fitness & wellness brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 fitness & wellness brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
Zero organic visibility. 95% of marketing budget went to Instagram ads (€1,500/month) with declining ROI. No website SEO foundation. Monthly bookings were flat at 35–40, with 30% churn each summer.
Rebuilt website with local intent architecture: dedicated landing pages for 'pilates classes', 'personal training', 'trial membership' using Marseille geographic modifiers

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time SEO has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
Within 6 months, your studio ranks on page one for 15–25 local keywords, capturing 300–600 monthly organic visits and 40–80 qualified membership leads. You've built a predictable, low-cost lead channel that offsets seasonal churn and reduces reliance on paid ads.
Competitive SEO Audit
We crawl your site and map your top 10 local competitors (across Marseille metros: Vieux-Port, Euroméditerranée, and beyond). We identify keyword gaps, backlink weaknesses, and on-page content gaps that are keeping you off page one. You'll see exactly where you rank today and why.
Local SEO Setup & Optimization
We claim/optimize your Google Business Profile, fix NAP consistency across local directories, and build your local citation foundation. For fitness studios, this means ensuring your class schedule, photos, and service categories are 100% aligned with how members search ('pilates near me', 'personal trainer Marseille', etc.).
Keyword Research & Content Strategy
We identify high-intent, low-competition keywords specific to Marseille: 'gym in Vieux-Port', 'crossfit Marseille', 'class bookings near me', etc. We then build a 12-week content calendar targeting member pain points (beginner-friendly classes, flexible schedules, trial offers).
On-Page & Technical SEO Implementation
We rebuild/optimize your website's title tags, meta descriptions, headers, and internal linking for your target keywords. We fix crawlability issues, improve page speed, and ensure mobile UX is flawless (crucial for 'find a class' mobile searches). Your site becomes a conversion machine, not a brochure.
Link Building & Ongoing Optimization
We pitch fitness blogs, local Marseille directories, and partner sites (wellness influencers, nutritionists, sports medicine clinics) to earn backlinks to your site. We monitor rankings weekly, adjust content, and scale what works. By month 3–4, you'll see measurable movement on key terms.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.
| Omakaase | What we hear from most agencies | |
|---|---|---|
| Contracts | ✓ Month-to-month. Walk away any time. | 12-month minimum (standard) |
| Who's on your account | ✓ Senior strategist. Doesn't rotate. | Account manager, often junior, rotates 6–12 months |
| Reporting cadence | ✓ Weekly Loom video + live dashboard | Monthly PDF report |
| Attribution model | ✓ Revenue-connected from Day 1 | Rankings + traffic only |
| Cost transparency | ✓ You see where every dollar goes | Black-box retainer |

“By month three, our main product keyword hit Page 1. By month six, we cut Google Ads spend by 40% because organic was finally doing its job. That's the real test.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How long before we see results?
Expect first ranking movements (positions 8–15) in weeks 4–6. Meaningful results (page one rankings, 100+ monthly organic visits) appear by month 3–4. Full potential (300+ monthly leads) is reached by month 6. We'll show you progress weekly.
Will SEO work if we're a brand-new studio competing against established gyms?
Yes. New sites rank faster if the SEO foundation is solid from day one. Established gyms often have bloated, outdated websites. We leverage your fresh-start advantage: fast site, modern UX, strategic content. Plus, long-tail keywords ('pilates for beginners Marseille') have less competition than branded searches.
What's the difference between local SEO and general SEO for fitness?
Local SEO focuses on 'near me' searches, Google Maps, and geographic keywords ('gym in Vieux-Port'). For fitness, this is critical—85% of class bookings come from local intent. We optimize both, but local is the priority in month 1–2.
Do we still need social media if we're investing in SEO?
Yes, but differently. SEO captures high-intent searchers ('gym near me'). Social amplifies: class updates, member testimonials, workout tips. Together, they're unstoppable. Many studios reduce social ad spend after 3 months of SEO growth, reallocating budget to content and partnerships.
What if we don't have a website or ours is terrible?
We can rebuild or redesign as part of the engagement. Many Marseille fitness studios have outdated sites (slow, non-mobile, no blog). A modern, SEO-optimized site is non-negotiable. Cost is typically €2,500–€5,000 (one-time); we can discuss options.
