There’s no doubt that the health and fitness industry is highly saturated. Possible solutions to health problems are everywhere, so consumers are bombarded with sales messages at every turn. So if you run a fitness business, you need to find a way to cut through the noise and find those leads.
Good ads will make a world of difference, but how do you find the best fitness advertising agency to help your health and fitness brand stand out?
Local ads for health and fitness
The health and fitness sector can include businesses such as gyms, swimming pools, spas, and wellness centres. Or smaller businesses, including fitness instructors, physiotherapists, and chiropractors.
For businesses like yours, where you find clients in your local area – you’re looking to attract customers based on their location.
The great news is that ads for ‘local’ businesses can offer excellent conversion rates, which means turning people who are interested in your brand into people who buy your products and services. Conversion rates for local ads typically have far better potential than non-local ads.
This is because local ads can be more targeted – especially if you work with an experienced digital marketing agency with knowledge of the health and fitness industry.
Local ads are also likely to be less competitive too. If your direct competition run poor ads or none at all, this is your chance to stand out and capture that local market.

What to look for in a health and fitness ads agency
You’re the expert when it comes to health and fitness, so there’s no one better than you to share advice and knowledge with your audience.
But that doesn’t mean that creating Facebook Ads and optimising them to get a great return will come easily… You might decide your brand needs a fitness digital marketing agency to help you out.
Getting expert help is a wise move, but it’s a big step. So when you’re researching fitness ad agencies, what should you look for?
1. Health and fitness industry expertise
Choosing a marketing agency that understands the problems you face in health and fitness is really helpful. Of course, your chosen ad agency doesn’t have to be dedicated only to health and fitness, because experience across varied sectors is helpful too.
But choosing an agency with a proven track record in helping health and fitness brands with their online ads – like Yatter – will give you peace of mind that they know what they’re doing.
2. Multi-channel expertise – Google, Facebook and TikTok
When it comes to advertising, it’s likely you’ll want to place your ads across several different platforms to get the best exposure to your audience.
That means choosing a health and fitness ad agency that can help you across platforms like:
- Google – which is ideal for local ads (plus, almost everyone uses it)
- Facebook – great at targeting a particular audience
- TikTok – one of the fastest-growing social media apps, which lends itself perfectly to promoting your health and fitness brand
Not all health and fitness ad agencies will offer this level of expertise, but at Yatter we cover all these platforms.
3. Creativity and innovation
When you’re looking for a digital marketing agency to help you with ads for your health and fitness brand, you want to make sure they can cover all aspects of the process for you.
Can they write ad copy? Help with design? Edit videos?
Choosing an agency that can do all of these for their clients keeps everything simple: there’s no having to liaise with different agencies and providers to get the ads your fitness brand deserves. And yes, Yatter covers all this for our clients.
4. Data-driven approach
Once your ad is out there, it’s no good if its performance isn’t being monitored and optimised. Make sure you choose a health and fitness marketing agency that cares about data, and who will tweak your ads to get the best possible returns.
We’re all about the data at Yatter, so we never stop checking that your ad is delivering on expectations.
