More showroom visits and online orders.
Marketing for fitness equipment stores across Canada, for shoppers who want to try a machine first and shoppers who order online.
Sound familiar?
Shoppers try a treadmill in your store, then buy it online somewhere else.
Big-box stores show up above you for every equipment search.
Your online store gets visits and not many orders.
Your busy months come and go, and your ad spend doesn’t move with them.

Showroom and online, planned together
Shopping ads can show your price and stock to people searching nearby. Your Google listing then gives them your hours and directions.
How Shopping ads workQuestions owners ask
How do I stop people trying in-store and buying elsewhere?
Make it easy to buy from you when they search for the exact model. Shopping ads can show your price and whether it’s in stock nearby.
Do Shopping ads work for big items like home gyms?
Shopping ads can list any product with a price and a product page. If shoppers like to see big items first, your hours and directions on Google matter too.
We also sell commercial equipment to gyms. Can you help with that?
Yes. That’s a different buyer, so it gets its own ads and page aimed at gym owners and facility managers.
When should I advertise?
Plan around your own busy months. If yours are January and the fall, set your budget and offers before they start.
Is the strategy call really free?
Yes. The call costs nothing, and neither does Chris’s check of your website and how you show up in Google and AI answers. The written roadmap you get afterwards is included. If you go ahead with ads or other services, those are paid.
