Why You Need Good Church Website SEO

Often times SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is referred to in the context of business websites and blogs, even on ChurchMag. Although this is one of the more common references, SEO is something that every church should consider: You need good church website SEO!

A church website may be thought of as a tool or resource for church members, as it’s usually full of current events, announcements and Bible study schedules; but it’s actually one of the best ways for potential church attenders to “visit” your church. In fact,

“In the past 12-months, over 17 million American adults who don’t regularly attend worship services, visited the website of a local church or place of worship.”

This is all fine and good, but without decent SEO, how are seekers going to find you?

Your Church, Ministry or Non-Profit Should Be on Google+

There are a number of reasons why your church, ministry or non-profit should be on Google+, but the latest reason is probably the most important.

Google  has been slowly tying all of its services together into Google+, as part of creating a more personal search experience.

This can be seen in the “introduction of Knowledge Graph last year, when Google started showing information on the right-hand side of search results to help you figure out if you’re searching for the right thing, be it a person, place or thing.”

Website Analytics Thumb

Turn Your Website Analytics Into a Handy Infographic

Although I love dissecting data, tracking website statistics feels like a chore.  It’s important to know my audience and what brings them to my blog, but I’d rather spend that time producing great content.

I have tried half a dozen solutions and most often use Google Analytics or WordPress Site Stats.  WordPress gives me most of the simple, everyday things I might want to know.  I turn to Google Analytics to answer further questions like:

“Am I getting new visitors?”

or

“How well am I connecting with the audience?”

Now, there’s an impressive new tool from Visual.ly which converts Google Analytics data into an infographic that balances simplicity with depth.

Here’s what it looks like:
