As a personal trainer, you\u2019ve likely seen a fitness calculator before (think BMI calculators, macro counters, etc.). Maybe you\u2019ve even thought of putting one on your website.<\/p>

\"Fitness<\/span><\/div>

Not only are they helpful but they\u2019re also loads of fun to use, and anyone could spend hours tinkering with all the different possible calculations.<\/p>

Which is exactly why you should put one on your site.<\/p>

The Importance of Engaging Content<\/span><\/h2>

If your site is struggling with holding the attention of your visitors<\/a>, that\u2019s a critical error. It means that people aren\u2019t finding your content very interesting or very useful. <\/p>

And if you\u2019re in the habit of creating boring content, you might as well stop altogether. It\u2019s a waste of your time.<\/span><\/p>

So how can you fix it? <\/p>

By offering content with huge practical value.<\/p>

What does valuable content look like? It can be in any form--videos<\/a>, blog posts, podcasts<\/a>, or even fitness calculators--but the bottom line is the visitor is gaining something by consuming the content. <\/blockquote>

If the content offers something people want<\/a>, then it becomes engaging - they will take more time consuming it. This is why it's so important to know exactly what your target audience wants.<\/p>

Engaging content does more than just engage your readers. It also pleases Google. Google prioritizes and provides higher ranks to websites that have a high \u201ctime on site\u201d metric<\/a>.<\/p>

If people stay on your site for a long time, then your Google ranking goes up. This means that more people (a.k.a. prospective clients) will find your website.<\/p>

So now that you understand why it\u2019s so important to offer engaging content, let\u2019s get to making that fitness calculator that will skyrocket your website engagement!<\/p>
