SOLUTION

A multi-faceted local SEO strategy

To address this challenge, Dexafit Scottsdale opted for BrightLocal’s fully managed Local SEO Services. We implemented a multifaceted local SEO strategy. Here’s what we did:
  • Developed 8 new service location pages per month targeting specific cities (Carefree, Glendale, Tempe) for core services, including DEXA Scans, VO2 Max testing, and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) assessments.
  • Maintained an active Google Business Profile with regular updates, article posts, and image uploads.
  • Built 10 new niche and local directory citations per month and created a network of high-authority brand pages to strengthen topical relevance and search signals. 
  • Monitored and engaged with Google reviews to foster customer trust.
  • Proactively flagged illegitimate or fake competitor listings to protect local rankings.

“BrightLocal is absolutely crushing it for us. I’ve got no complaints. I’m hoping they can deliver this forever.”
