What You Get with Websites and Digital Marketing

When you’re growing a fitness business, your website should do more than just provide general information. Your website should be optimized to drive leads and should be accompanied by a data-driven digital marketing strategy. An effective website and digital marketing strategy will amplify your brand and drive more leads.

There’s a lot more to Zen Planner websites than just the “design” you’re seeing. Our sites are laid out in a very specific way because we know from looking at the analytics of over 500 other fitness websites that this layout gets us the best conversion possible. When many clients come to Zen Planner, they experience as much as a 20% increase in conversion. That’s due to our strategic site layouts. Other designs may look good, but there is no data or analytics backing up that design.
