Make Your Church Easier to Find Online

The way people search for and connect with churches has evolved significantly. For churches, establishing a strong local SEO presence is no longer optional—it’s crucial for your church’s visibility. Managing your local listing is the first step in local SEO and ensuring your church can be easily discovered.

Here’s why the Digital Health Assessment is a game-changer:

Increased Visibility

With over 1 million monthly searches for "churches near me" and nearly 2 billion users engaging with Google Maps every month, having a strong online presence is more important than ever. People are searching for churches, but is your church appearing in their results? Improving your search engine rankings and optimizing directory listings will make it easier for those seeking a spiritual community to find and connect with your church.

Voice Search Optimization 

Voice technology is on the rise, with 57% of American adults using voice assistants daily. For your church to remain relevant, it must be optimized for voice search. Alarmingly, only 2% of churches are currently prepared for this shift. If your church's digital presence isn’t voice-search-ready, potential visitors may never find you when they search by voice.

Website Authority

A strong website authority boosts your overall ranking and makes it more likely for people to discover and connect with your church and its mission. The authority of your website directly impacts its ability to attract visitors. In fact, the #1 result on Google is 10 times more likely to get clicked than the #10 spot. Your Website Authority Score offers insights into your site's overall performance, helping you understand where it currently stands.

Social Clarity

Your Social Clarity Score measures how accurate and consistent your church's information is across all social media platforms. Keeping this information up-to-date and uniform helps maximize your church’s reach. When your information is inconsistent, those actively searching for a spiritual home want to learn more about your church (beliefs and culture), but if they can't find your profiles or accurate information, they quickly lose interest.
