If you wish to understand the difference between Local SEO and the On-Page SEO services described on this page, please read our blog titled Local SEO Versus On-Page SEO for Churches [Clearing Up the Confusion].

Our Services

Our Crawlability service includes keyword research, optimization of all metadata, and sharing a sitemap with Google. Speed includes taking the necessary steps to make the webpage load faster, such as minification of CSS and Javascript, and reducing media file sizes across the entire website. Security involves procuring and installing a certificate, along with making modifications to the website to ensure there are no mixed-content errors and that SSL is being forced.

What to Expect

The deliverables for these services include a before and after SEO report, along with a multi-tab excel spreadsheet detailing each of the following:

A website crawl that shows the metadata before and after the crawlability work is performed
A list of high-value blogging topics based on Felt Need keywords
A list of high-value keywords
A list of pages with low content

We commonly see websites SEO score move from the 60s into the 90s after the completion of our work.
