Expand Your Church's Search Engine Reach!Written by Toby Wolf
Continued from page 1
Let me give you an example, St. Paul UCC is located in Palatine, IL. The site has been designed so that keyword meta tags include several nearby suburbs. But after an entire year, St. Paul still did not even place in top 300 on ANY of search engines when searching for "church mt. prospect il" (one of closer suburbs)! In June, we implemented several new pages for St. Paul - each of them targeting a specific suburb. Within 2 weeks, when doing a search on "church mt. prospect il", St. Paul was ranked in upper 30's to upper 50s by ALL of top name search engines. Wow! What a leap! In August we implemented a few minor tweaks and by September, St. Paul was ranked between 5-12 on EVERY search engine for that same keyword phrase. You can see same results! Take a look at page we created for St. Paul that focuses on town of Mt. Prospect. This page alone increased our SERP by over 300 places in TWO weeks. If you are interested in some of other techniques we used to further increase SERP for this church in over 5 neighboring suburbs, send us an e-mail. Our Search Engine optimization program for Churches is very reasonably priced and we will do a FREE quick analysis of your main web page to see just how search engine friendly it is - or isn't!

I spent my first 20 years as one of Jehovah's Witnesses trying to help the world understand what I thought was the truth. I then spent my final year as a Witness trying to help the local elders understand that what we thought was the truth wasn't.
