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.

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!
