Three options. Only one actually works for your business.
A tennis coach sells four different products to four different families
A tennis coach sells four totally different products: 1:1 private + 2:1 + small-group (4 to 6) lessons at $80 to $120 per hour for serious adults and tournament juniors, Hot Shots Tennis junior programme (red ball ages 5 to 7, orange ball 7 to 9, green ball 9 to 11) sold to parents as the official Tennis Australia learn-to-play pathway, Cardio Tennis fitness classes sold to adults 35 to 55 who haven't held a racquet in twenty years, and private-school tennis programmes (KCC, MGS, Scotch College, Trinity, MLC) sold to school sports coordinators as an outsourced contract worth $20K to $80K a year. Each of those buyers is in a different head-space, searching a different term, on a different timeline. The 'Mum looking for a 6-year-old's first lesson' is not the same buyer as the 'serious 14-year-old on the ITF junior pathway' is not the same buyer as the 'school sports coordinator running a tender'. One generic 'tennis coach' page with your TA certification on the About loses every one of them.
Good tennis-coach marketing has three jobs running in parallel: a programme-plus-suburb page library so 'Hot Shots tennis Marrickville', 'tennis coach Hawthorn' and 'Cardio Tennis Bondi' each find you, a TA-certification trust layer (Junior Development / Club Professional / Master Club Professional / High Performance) plus Working with Children Check status surfacing on every page header, and a private-school tender response page with case studies from any school programmes you've run, ready to send in 30 seconds when a sports coordinator emails. The coaches at full diary have all three; the coaches with a half-empty Saturday morning have only the Instagram and the TA-directory listing.
Six agents, working in your accounts.
Account Lead, Web, SEO, Advertising, Social Media, and Content. One platform, one bill, you approve the work.
Sets the plan around the annual rhythm: AO outreach week in January, Hot Shots term-intake in February and July, school-programme tender push in September-October, Cardio Tennis summer push in November. Briefs the other agents so the programme pages, the AO-week ads, the school tender response and the term-block conversion sequence all fire in the right order, not as four feeds that don't talk.
Imports your existing site and ships a programme-plus-suburb page library (Hot Shots red/orange/green, Cardio Tennis, private 1:1, 2:1 + small-group, junior development squad, adult social ladder). Builds a separate private-school programme tender response page with case studies, sample programmes, and a 30-second 'request a tender response' button for sports coordinators. Adds a real term-block booking flow that converts the AO-week trial into a 10-week Hot Shots commitment.
Owns whether you appear for 'tennis coach [suburb]', 'Hot Shots tennis [suburb]', 'Cardio Tennis [suburb]' and 'private tennis lessons [suburb]' below the TA directory but above every other coach. Tennis Australia certification level (Junior Development / Club Professional / Master Club Professional / High Performance) and WWCC surfaces as a structured trust signal on every page header. Auto-applies the low-risk fixes.
Runs a permanent low-budget Google Ads layer on 'tennis coach [suburb]' and 'tennis lessons [suburb]' year-round, lifts spend dramatically in AO outreach week (mid-January fortnight) for free Hot Shots and Cardio Tennis trials, and runs a separate Meta ad layer at parents of 5-to-11-year-olds in the four weeks before each Hot Shots intake. Pauses when terms are full; restarts the week tender season opens with a school-coordinator LinkedIn layer.
Turns every ball-machine session, Cardio Tennis class, Saturday Hot Shots progression and junior tournament win into a post in your voice: a Thursday 1:1 Reel, a Saturday Hot Shots red-ball graduation carousel, a Cardio Tennis class-from-the-net angle, an ITF junior pathway PB shout. Builds the case for a real Club Professional coach over a parks-and-rec hit-out. You film one 60s clip, agent drafts the caption, you approve.
Drafts the parent-and-player Q-and-A that catches the consideration buyer: 'red ball vs orange ball vs green ball, which is right for my kid', 'how to find a Tennis Australia certified coach', 'is Cardio Tennis a real workout', 'tennis 1:1 vs small-group, which gets you on court ladder faster'. Two a month, in your voice, that pull consideration-stage search and double as a TennisGear or Tennis Only equipment partnership hook.
Your first 30 days.

A tennis coach sells four different products to four different buyers: parents shopping Hot Shots, serious adults shopping match-play 1:1, beginners shopping Cardio Tennis fitness, and private-school sports coordinators running a $40K tender. The coaches at full diary run the programme-plus-suburb page library, the AO-outreach-week January push, the school-tender response page and the term-block conversion sequence in parallel. The coaches with the half-empty Saturday morning rely on the TA directory listing and Instagram, and the TA directory floods every search.
Agencies are too dear and have never been on court. Tools are cheap but the AO-week landing page goes live in March and the school tender response sits in your inbox for two weeks. In-House is the third option: for $299 a month the agents ship the programme pages, run the AO-week push, draft the tender response in 30 seconds, post the ball-machine session, and convert the trial into a 10-week block. You film a 60s clip, approve the week, two taps from your phone, and the diary fills.
