I have 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 remodeling a house. Once the initial work is done, you don’t need to dedicate hours a week to maintaining good SEO presence.
We’ll set you up with training and checklists to make sure all new pages are SEO-optimized.
