Case Study: How Littleton Fitness Rebuilt Its Reputation—and Rose to the Top of Local Search
When Mari Myers purchased Fitness Authority in October 2024, she saw more than just a business opportunity—she saw potential. The gym was outdated, the equipment tired, and the brand stuck in the past. But Mari had a vision: transform it into a modern, welcoming fitness center that reflected her passion for community health and strength.
She made it happen. New equipment, a fresh look, updated services, and a new name—Littleton Fitness. The physical transformation was undeniable. But online? The digital story hadn’t caught up yet.
The rebrand brought a wave of confusion for both Google and potential customers. Old reviews, outdated listings, and mixed branding made it hard for people to know what to expect. Mari had created a fitness palace—but without a clear online identity, people still saw shadows of the business that used to be.
The Challenge:
Rebranding Online After a Major Business Transformation
Littleton Fitness needed help bringing its new identity to life online. The rebrand was successful in person, but Mari was running into some common digital roadblocks:
-
Old Business Content Still Showing Up – Google was still indexing website pages with outdated pricing, membership options, and services.
-
Inconsistent Online Presence – Social media profiles, directory listings, and Google Business results were incomplete or tied to the old brand.
-
Local Search Struggles – Despite being a thriving gym, Littleton Fitness didn’t show up on page 1 for “gyms near me”—a huge gap for visibility.
-
Mari’s Personal Brand Was Missing – As the owner and visionary behind the business, Mari didn’t yet have a strong online presence to match her in-person leadership.
-
Reputation Recovery – The business had a few lingering reviews from the past and no responses from the previous owner, leaving prospects unsure if anything had really changed.
Mari knew what she wanted: clarity, visibility, and authenticity. She just needed someone to help her build it.

“I had no idea how much I didn’t know about online reputation management until Amanda stepped in. In just three weeks, she completely changed how Littleton Fitness shows up online—getting us listed in over 60 top directories, fixing the website experience, and making sure we actually show up at the top of Google searches.
More importantly, Amanda helped me understand that it’s not just about being seen online—it’s about showing up authentically so customers actually connect with who you are and what you stand for. That was a game-changer.
Amanda has a no-nonsense approach, gets straight to the point, and tells you exactly what needs to happen to move forward. She doesn’t just do the work; she gives you a plan to keep it working. If you’re a business owner around here and you don’t have her in your corner yet, you’re already behind."
