What the test checks

Four checks. One score out of 100.

  • 35 points

    Local Search Visibility

    We search for churches near your location the way a real person would and check whether yours shows up where searchers are actually looking.

  • 30 points

    Google Business Profile

    Your map listing is your first impression: reviews, photos, service times, and the details Google rewards. We grade how complete and alive yours looks.

  • 20 points

    Mobile Website Experience

    We load your website on a simulated phone connection and measure how fast a first-time guest sees your content, including a real screenshot of what they see.

  • 15 points

    AI Search

    A growing share of people ask AI assistants instead of Google. We ask an AI with live web search the question a newcomer to your neighborhood would ask, and check whether your church makes the answer.

Why visibility matters

"We found you online" is how growth sounds now

We are consistently seeing first-time guests on Sundays, and when we ask "How did you find us?" the response is almost always, "We found you online."

Terry Kreuger

Within 6 months we have been consistently the number one search result for churches in our town and we are beginning to get visitors that found us on Google!

Real people who only work with churches.

The test is free and the report is yours to keep. If you want help fixing what it finds, you'll talk with someone who only works with churches and will tell you straight what's worth fixing first.

Plenty of churches take the report and fix it themselves. That's fine by us.

FAQ

Questions about the test?

Is this really free?
Yes. The test, the score, and the full report cost nothing. We built it so you can see what searchers near your church see, and that picture is worth having whether or not you ever work with us.
What exactly do you check?
Four things: local map visibility (whether your church shows up when someone nearby searches for a church), your Google Business Profile (how complete and active it is), mobile website speed (how fast your site loads on a phone), and AI search (whether an AI assistant names your church when a newcomer asks where to go). The checks take about two minutes. Together they make up your Visibility Score out of 100, and the full report also shows the three churches searchers near you see first.
Is this my exact Google ranking?
No, and be wary of anyone who promises that. Google results shift with the searcher's exact location and history. That is why we check your visibility from 9 points around your church, using live Google Maps results ranked the way Google orders nearby results. It is an honest snapshot of what a nearby searcher likely sees, not a guarantee.
What is the AI Search check?
A growing share of people now ask AI assistants for recommendations instead of searching Google. So we ask an AI assistant with live web search the question a newcomer to your neighborhood would ask, and show you whether your church makes the answer, plus which churches do. It counts for 15 of your 100 points.
We have multiple campuses. Which one should I test?
Run the test for the campus you care most about first. Each campus has its own Google listing and its own visibility, so you can run the test again for the others.
What happens after I get my report?
Your report stays on screen, and we email you a copy. If you want help fixing what it finds, book a free 30-minute call and we'll tell you straight what's worth fixing first. No pressure either way.
