Serve Others
Millions of people search for churches online every month. Each one of those is a soul needing spiritual care. Search engine optimization (SEO) helps your church appear higher in search results so that they can find you, and you can serve them.
Grow Your Church
Search engine optimization (SEO) is one of the easiest ways to connect with prospective members. People searching for churches don’t need convincing that they need a church. They just need to find a church that will serve their spiritual needs.

Easy
The Church SEO checklist costs nothing. And, we break down a complicated subject into manageable steps. Each step is easy. But, just like physical workouts, they accumulate to a big improvement in your church’s SEO.
Growing churches is difficult. Outreach events, follow-up, and integration are labor-intensive and expensive even under ideal circumstances.
The circumstances in which we minister are far from ideal.
Churches have strong headwinds against them, including:
- Family schedules crammed with events
- Distrust of organized religion
- Increased interest in alternative spiritual teachings and practices
All this means that finding new members is incredibly difficult. And, the numbers don’t lie. Most churches are declining in membership.
That’s why I focus my church’s outreach on people with the fewest barriers to joining. Modern technology makes that easy, because you can reach them through search engines like Google.
Every month, 2.7 million people search for the term ‘churches near me.’ In large metro area, thousands of people search for churches every month – 8,000 in St. Louis, for example.
The people making those searches already know they want to find a church. The hardest work, convincing them that they should be involved in a church, is already done. They are some of the easiest people to incorporate into your congregation.
But, if they are like most people, they won’t go past the first page of results on Google.
That’s where search engine optimization (SEO) comes in. SEO is the science of showing up in the top results on search engines like Google. When people search for ‘churches near me,’ you want to be in the top results, because those results get the majority of clicks.
I created the SEO Checklist for Churches as a free, easy way to improve your church’s SEO. It is the important first step for your church’s search engine optimization that will help you show up higher in search engines like Google.
SEO helped get my church to the top of search results. Its online presence has brought in new members. The SEO Checklist for Churches will help your church do the same.
Think about what might be motivating people to search for a church. Perhaps,
- A friend or family member told them about Christ, and they want to know more.
- Their marriage is struggling, and they want help fixing it.
- They are weighed down by the shame and guilt of their sin, and they want forgiveness.
- They are growing old and wonder what happens after they die.
No matter what motivates someone to look for a church online, souls are at stake.
That’s the ultimate reason why I am offering the SEO Checliskt for Churches for free. I want to enable Christ-centered churches to serve people who need to know the Lord.
