The Challenge
The Forge Martial Arts opened in Cheyenne, Wyoming with strong instruction and a clear vision — but zero digital presence. Competing for local visibility against established gyms and national franchise locations meant they needed to rank fast, look credible, and convert first-time visitors into free-trial sign-ups from day one. No brand. No site. No Google presence. Starting from nothing.
The Solution
We built the full brand identity and a fast, conversion-focused website from scratch. The design matches the academy's energy — dark, modern, and serious without being intimidating. Program pages for each discipline (Krav Maga, ITF Taekwondo, Shaolin Kung Fu) with age-grouped sections for kids, teens, and adults. Clear free trial week CTA on every page. Full on-page local SEO targeting Cheyenne martial arts searches, LocalBusiness schema markup, and Google Business Profile optimization to compete in the local pack.
The Results
First-page local rankings for Cheyenne martial arts searches within weeks of launch.
A professional digital presence that matches the quality of instruction.
Consistent free-trial lead flow from organic search from day one of launch.
