The numbers behind a fitness business’s ranking
2026 Google Ads benchmarks for your industry, plus how clicks split across the top of Google.
Sources: click-through rates by position from a SISTRIX study of more than 80 million keywords (28.5% for #1, 15% for #2, 11% for #3, under 1% for each page-two result). Cost per click and conversion rate from the WordStream by LocaliQ 2026 Search Advertising Benchmarks (13,474 US search campaigns, April 2025 to March 2026). The ad-equivalent value is what the same clicks would cost if you bought them in Google Ads. Real results vary with your market, your site and your reviews.

Questions
How much is a #1 Google ranking worth for a fitness business?
At 1,000 monthly searches, the #1 organic result earns about 285 clicks a month, and at the 2026 average conversion rate of 6.94% that is roughly 20 leads. Those clicks would cost about $1,758 a month in Google Ads. What it is worth in revenue depends on what a new member is worth to you and how many leads you close.
Why is #1 worth so much more than #3?
Clicks are not shared evenly. A SISTRIX study of more than 80 million keywords found the #1 organic result averages a 28.5% click-through rate, #2 averages 15% and #3 averages 11%. Every result on page two gets under 1%.
