SEO for yoga studios: get found on Google and AI search
Use the Get found on Google checklist: Google Business Profile, reviews, opening hours, Search Console and how your studio site is set up for search.
zenyogi sets up the technical side of search for you and gives you one checklist for the rest. Find it under Settings → General → Company → Get found on Google. A dashboard card, "Get found on Google and AI search", reminds you until the checklist is done.
What zenyogi does automatically
- Address and phone: fill them in under Company.
- Your Google listing: once your address is saved, zenyogi looks up your studio on Google. Press Is this your studio? to confirm. This saves your Maps link, review link, rating, review count and opening hours. Press Not us if it found the wrong place, or Search Google to look again.
- Review link: a link to your Google reviews with a copy button and a QR code you can print.
- Opening hours: taken from your Google listing.
- About page: drafted after you publish. You publish it. See About, Contact and FAQ.
- Search Console: zenyogi adds the verification token for your zenyogi address or custom domain.
Search Console
Google Search Console shows how people find you. When available, you can give zenyogi access:
- Add the service-account address shown in the checklist as a Full user in Search Console.
- Press Check access.
Your clicks, impressions and top searches then refresh weekly.
If you move to a custom domain, the Search Console row shows Your site moved. Add the new property in Search Console and press Done. If you gave zenyogi access, press Check access again.
Tasks for you
The checklist also has tick boxes for things only you can do:
- Claim your Google Business Profile, and set its website and booking link. Both links are shown with copy buttons.
- List your studio on Apple and Bing.
- Ask your customers for reviews.
Review request emails
A switch sends a short email after a visit asking for a Google review. It is off by default. Each customer gets at most one every six months. Edit the wording under Settings → General → Emails.
Test it yourself
Test it yourself opens Google, ChatGPT and Perplexity with a search for your studio, so you can see what people find.
How your site is set up for search
- Every public page is listed once, in your site language. A language joins your sitemap once you save an SEO title and description for it under Settings → General → Domain.
- Page titles use your studio name and city, for example "Your Studio · Yoga classes in Berlin". The city must be a place name, not a postal code. Your business category sets the wording: beauty studios say treatments, coaching studios say sessions.
- Your pages carry structured data for your business, classes and events.
- AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot are welcome.
- Public studios with a city are listed on zenyogi.io/studios.
