10th Planet Gym
Leealexanderandco.com sells a very niche product: memorial and cremation jewelry. Unlike most of their competition, they sell high quality, expensive custom pieces including 18K gold and VS F+ diamonds and gemstones. Their market is small and difficult to get in front of at the right time.
This microblading and microblading training website launched in 2019 to a saturated market. They came to us ranking for only 3 keywords (none of any value) and zero organic traffic. The competition was years ahead of them. Getting new websites to rank in Google is notoriously difficult, but can be done. They currently rank for over 2,000 keywords in Google, 284 of which are on page 1.
I am digital marketing agency owner, trained in jiu jitsu, and dad to 2 kids with multiple tournament medals under team 10th Planet. We started doing digital marketing for our local 10th Planet gym and the results have been absolutely outstanding.
We’re one of the most recognized and awarded SEO agencies in the United States. Working with us means working with a team who has built a reputation for being a successful digital marketing partner to businesses just like yours.
We do things the old-fashioned way; actual Rank Harvest employees do the work. Unlike other agencies who get sales in the front door and ship it out the back door to overseas discount shops, we do everything in-house. Yes, it costs more our way, but would you rather pay less and get nothing in return, or pay a little more for actual results?
We’re not a ‘creative’ agency meaning you wouldn’t come to us to redesign your logo or write a catchy jingle. You won’t find many liberal arts degrees here; we’re mostly engineers and computer scientists. Most Rank Harvest employees have previous experience in corporate digital marketing, and all have gone through a rigorous application and interview process to get hired here. We pay our employees above average and provide benefits such as paid vacation, family leave and more.
Our clients stay because we get results, not because they are locked into a contract. Our subscription system allows you to easily start, stop, and reorder through your customer portal. No contract, no commitment.
We get started on the work of SEO within 48 hours of ordering. While we take the time to give every new project the required research and analytics, we also identify work that can begin immediately.
The number 1 reason clients quit their SEO agency is not lack of results, but lack of communication. With us you’ll know what results you're getting and how your budget is being used at all times.
All work is done in-house, by Rank Harvest employees. The only exception is when we need an industry or niche specialist, for example, if your project requires legal or medical content writing.
Although you can see a list of tactics for each of our SEO packages, we don’t go down the list checking boxes. We analyze what’s working, and what’s not, and adjust the strategy accordingly.
We don’t waste time exploiting loopholes in Google’s algorithm for short-term gains; we follow Google’s guidelines on improving organic traffic through excellent content and user engagement.
Most Jiu Jitsu gyms don't have accountants and bookkeepers, so we use a subscription system which means automatic monthly billing so you never have to deal with invoices. Pay once on the website and you’re done. You can cancel at any time through your customer portal. You can restart at any time by simply ordering again.
Developing a successful strategy starts with data. We analyze your client from multiple angles using various professional tools. But there’s also a human element, meaning we also use intuition gained from many years in digital marketing, and our experience directly with the Jiu Jitsu industry.
Clients get frustrated when their first month’s bill is mostly discovery and not the actual work of marketing. Although thorough research and analytics takes time, we identify work that can be started immediately.
Outstanding! The entire process was easy, I ordered on the website and they got back to me the same day. One Zoom later and they were already working on my project! I’m not constantly asking for updates, they send what I need before I have to ask. They make it easy.

Thank you Rank Harvest for working so closely with me for so many years. I’ve genuinely seen such good growth and all the suggestions and help and care that I feel Rank Harvest puts into my business is so meaningfull.
The main problem as a small business owner is lead generation and that’s why we’re extremely thankful we found Rank Harvest. They took the time to understand all the things about my business and what was pertinent in regards to search engine optimization.
Mike did some research before our meeting, which I appreciate. During the meeting he gave several insightful suggestions on how we can been seen more valuable in Google's eyes. I came away with many action items!
Michael and the entire team at Rank Harvest are the best in the game for all of your SEO needs. Mike did a complete walkthrough of our site and pin pointed exactly what we needed and why we needed it.
After the first month, his strategies and approach have produced an encouraging rank improvement for the keywords we are targeting, and we are looking forward to even greater results moving forward. These guys know what they are doing! Highly recommended!
Some businesses need national or even global visitors to their website. Others only need visitors from a local area, such as a Jiu Jitsu gym. For example, if your gym is in Arizona, you don’t need website traffic from New York. Local vs national/global are 2 very different SEO strategies. With local SEO, Google wants to see Jiu Jitsu content on your site that provides information that’s helpful to people in your community. It also helps, but not required, to have a verified Google Profile (Google My Business, or GMB). Deeper SEO includes map citations, business listings and other professional tactics.
Some Jiu Jitsu gyms have multiple locations, sometimes in the same city. SEO efforts can be targeted to an individual location, for example in the case of a new gym opening, or all locations can be targeted at once for an overall boost. Local SEO can be isolated down to a specific zip code. Most Jiu Jitsu gym members live within a 10 mile radius.
No. Although having a GMB makes things easier, by no means is it required! We’ve achieved top placement in Google for many customers who have no physical presence in the area. But most Jiu Jitsu businesses have a physical location, so if you don’t already have a GMB, we can help get you one fast.
Yes, absolutely! However, it does require a GMB account. Only verified GMB accounts will show in Google maps. If you don’t have a GMB, we will help you get one. If you don’t have a local address and cannot get a GMB, we can get you to the top of regular search results, but not the map pack. But most Jiu Jitsu gyms have a physical address.
Digital marketing agencies that specialize in Jiu Jitsu are difficult to find. Either they claim to be experts, but really don’t know the industry. Or they do know the industry, but don’t have enough experience as an agency to get results. We have both.
Having trained in Jiu Jitsu, and 2 kids active in the 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu system, I know Jiu Jitsu first-hand, and have direct Jiu Jitsu marketing experience. Where else are you going to find a digital marketing agency owner who is actively involved in the Jiu Jitsu industry?
What many Jiu Jitsu business owners don’t understand is that they don’t need the best digital marketing in the world, they only need to do better than the competition in their local area. For example, if you are the only Jiu Jitsu gym in your city, there’s no competition to beat and you only need to use digital marketing to get your business in front of the potential gym members in your area. Or if you do have competitors in your area, often they aren’t doing any digital marketing at all, in which case you can dominate them with very little effort.
We specialize in driving traffic to websites through organic search (SEO) and paid ads. We use proven strategies to get our clients to the top of organic local search results through a mix of off-page SEO (link building, profiles, reputation) and on-page SEO (website content, UI/UX, keyword optimization). For paid ads, we use Google Ads and social media. Used together, we can get your gym in front of nearly everyone in your community who has an interest in Jiu Jitsu.
