Stewarding Your Greatest Church Resource

Pastors spend hours each week in prayer and study preparing to preach. Valuable time and energy goes into creating this weekly content in order to fuel spiritual growth. In fact, a large portion of every church’s budget is devoted to the Sunday service, featuring the weekly sermon.

Help steward your church’s greatest resource with the Sermon Flywheel. After all the blood, sweat, and budget invested in preaching, a sermon is often shared once and then shelved. The Sermon Flywheel helps your sermons live well beyond Sunday.

What is YouTube SEO?

Boost the presence of your church’s weekly sermons to reach a big online audience. We’ll prepare every church sermon to be findable on Youtube. This process includes adding an effective title, tags, keywords, description, and captions.

Why it matters:

When it comes to being found online, content is king! Words on a page can have powerful SEO benefits over time when used as part of a carefully constructed and comprehensive SEO strategy overseen by experts at Missional Marketing. Your pastor’s weekly sermon contains amazing content that people are searching for online everyday. The more content you post, the more people will be drawn to your website. Also, people are more willing to take a few minutes and read an article, than they are to watch a 45 minute long sermon. Therefore, a blog post has the ability to reach people in ways a video alone could never do.
