“I'm working with the Ground Standard, the team that helped me grow Bodega Jiu-Jitsu so much I was able to quit my job.”

“We've been working with Ground Standard Agency since April, and they've been instrumental in growing our gym. Their system is phenomenal, and the weekly calls keep us accountable and on track. We understand our numbers better than ever, and a huge part of our recent growth is thanks to their efforts.”

“We've been using the team at Ground Standard now for a few months and they are excellent in every way. Bobby and Kurt are true professionals in every sense, not only handling our ad buys flawlessly and sending us solid prospects non-stop, but they are also absolutely terrific in handling prospect and client questions immediately and in an engaging and positive way. They are so good that we've come to view them as real advisors to our business. If I could give this firm 10 stars, I would.”

“I've been teaching for 32 years and for most of that time handled my own marketing. In the last few years I've hired a couple marketing companies for my academy and Ground Standard has been just that: the standard. I like their model, their philosophy, and their integrity. They are honest, direct, and professional. I would strongly recommend them.”

“Bobby and Kurt from Ground Standard saved me so much time. I loved how I don't need to answer the phone, text or email any leads. On top of that they run my Meta and Google ads great. Thanks guys!”

“Kurt and Bobby pay attention to the details. They have watched the results of the ads and activity on the website so we could adjust accordingly, always keeping our visibility very high. Our monthly sign-ups are very high, averaging between 20 and 30 a month for almost a year. I would recommend Ground Standard for all academies looking for immediate results.”

“Bobby and Kurt are great to work with. I feel like they care about my academy and genuinely want it to thrive. I'll see Kurt messaging back leads at 9pm sometimes. They're always open to feedback and figuring out a solution that works for you and your gym. I'll definitely keep using them until my gym capacity is filled.”

In just over two months, we signed up 68 new students! They not only delivered what was promised in the first meeting but also provided much more.

“I've been working with Ground Standard for about two months now and they have been fantastic. The entire team is skilled, dependable and professional. I underestimated the amount of help I would get with a service like the one they offer and how that would make it possible to delegate vital tasks to knowledgeable hands. I am very pleased with the work and would highly recommend GSA.”
