Frequently Asked Questions

Can I do SEO myself?

Yes, anyone can do SEO. However, it would take you approximately 100-200 hours (4-5 hours a day for 4-6 weeks) to learn to do it well.

What results can I expect?

While SEO typically takes 10-12 months to see measurable increases in traffic, we have seen churches see 10-12% improvement in organic traffic within 1-2 months.

SEO or Google Ads?

SEO work + Google Ad Grants are the best way to supercharge your church’s digital presence. Use the Google Ad Grant to reach more people within 2 weeks, and the SEO to set you up for long-term success.

What happens after 6 months?

We think of SEO like a log cabin fire – once you get the fire going, you need to occasionally add logs to keep it going. We have regular ongoing SEO work we do to keep your SEO healthy and maintained.

We’ll set you up with training and checklists to make sure all new pages are SEO-optimized as well!
