Here's How We Help With Local SEO for Churches

Let's get down to the nitty gritty.

GBP Optimization

Google Business Profile (GBP) is the first impression many people have of your church. We will make sure that your profile is ready to be found by people in your local community. That way, they can easily find your church service times and church's location. With our help, your first impression will be a great one.

NAP Monitoring

Consistency with your Name, Address, and Phone Number (NAP) is one of the keys to ranking in search engines. We make sure that in every directory we can get our hands on, your NAP is the same so that your church ranks higher in search results.

Review Monitoring

The concept of church reviews may seem strange but their importance can’t be understated. Your ranking will improve with the number of reviews your church has. Think of them as testimonies online. Our team keeps you up to date on what people are saying about your church.

Citation Creation

Most churches are listed on a few online directories. We will make sure you are listed in every major one. Seventy-seven of them to be exact. The more of these citations that are out there, the better the odds that Google displays your profile when people search.

Listing Management

Over time, listing information tends to change. People submit updates and those updates go live. Managing updates on one or two listings is easy. Managing seventy-seven of them takes some work. We'll make sure your NAP information stays up to date for potential visitors.

Duplicate Suppression

From time to time, duplicate listings show up. It happens more often than most people realize. When they do, our team will suppress them and scrub them from the internet. This keeps your listings accurate and your rankings high. Plus it maintains your church's brand on the web.

Regular Reporting

It’s important to know where you rank in search results. Every month our team will send you a detailed report including all that you need to know about keyword research and how your campaign is doing. Over time this will help your church see how far you have come with organic traffic and online visibility.

Site Speed Monitoring

A slow site is hard to rank. Speed matters tremendously in Google's eyes. So if your site doesn’t load quickly, Google will penalize your rankings in both organic and local search results. Our tools will help you know when your site speed needs a checkup.

On-Page SEO Audits

High quality content on the landing pages of your church's website plays a crucial role. On-page SEO and off page SEO both matter. While it’s most important for organic searches, this also helps improve local search results. Each month our team will give you advice on the kinds of content you can be creating, whether a blog post or landing pages, and how to get the most out of it.

Precise Targeting

Churches SEO helps you reach people right there in your local community. Our systems help you show up on Google maps and target people in your area whether they search by city, county, zip code, church name, or something else. All of your efforts will be reaching people who are within driving distance of your church.

Google Give Back

Google gives $10,000 each month to churches who sign up for Google Ad Grants. Hundreds of churches, ministries, and missionaries have signed up for this service. This is for real. There is no catch. And the best thing is that every church that is a registered non-profit qualifies. We will even submit the application for you to make sure you get the grant.

You Get Free Ads.
