Marketing for churches

Help first-time guests find you and feel ready to walk in

People check a church online before they visit. We build a site and Google listing that answer their questions and invite them to plan a visit.

01How customers find you

How people choose a church.

People look for a church at turning points: a move to a new town, a new baby, a loss, a holiday, or a quiet sense that something is missing. They search for churches nearby, look at the map and photos, then visit the website to see service times, what to wear, what happens with their kids and what the church believes. Many watch a sermon online first. A friend's invitation still brings people in, and the website is where they check before saying yes.

A page for every church service, in every town.

With a Growth Website ($2,000 one time), each service gets its own page in each town you serve. Here is what that looks like for a church.

Four things every church site needs

  1. Service times above everything else

    Put service times, the address and parking on the home page where a phone user sees them first. It is what guests look for before anything else.

  2. A plan your visit page

    Explain what to expect: where to park, what to wear, how long the service runs, what happens with kids. Add a short form so someone can greet them by name.

  3. Kids check-in explained

    Parents need to know their children will be safe. Describe check-in, pickup and how volunteers are screened.

  4. Recent sermons online

    A guest who watches a sermon first arrives already knowing the pastor's voice. Keep the latest messages easy to find.

04Ads

How we would run your ads.

Each ad service is $499 a month. Your ad budget is paid straight to Google or Meta, never marked up, and you get a report every week.

Google Ads

Paid search for churches works best around the moments people go looking: Easter, Christmas Eve and a move to a new town. Run small campaigns on church near me and denominational searches within driving distance, sent to a plan your visit page. Some churches can apply for Google Ad Grants through Google's nonprofit program, depending on how the church is registered. We can help you check eligibility and follow the account rules if you qualify.

Facebook and Instagram

Meta is a natural fit for churches because people share invitations there. Run ads for Easter and Christmas services, new sermon series and community events to adults in your area. Meta no longer lets ads target people by religion, so reach people by location and let the message and video do the work. Short clips of the welcome team and kids area help nervous first-timers. Keep the budget small but steady.

05SEO & AI Search

Answer the questions before they call.

SEO & AI Search ($499 a month) publishes the answers your customers look for, so Google and AI assistants have a reason to send them to you. Articles we would write first:

  1. What to Expect Your First Sunday With Us
  2. How to Find a Church After Moving to a New Town
  3. What Happens in Kids Ministry on Sunday Morning
  4. Christmas Eve Services: Times and What to Know
  5. What a Small Group Looks Like Here

What people now ask AI assistants

  • What is a good church for families near me?
  • What should i wear to church for the first time?
  • What is the difference between non denominational and baptist churches?

Busy and slow seasons

Easter and Christmas Eve are the biggest guest weekends of the year, and late summer brings families looking for a church home before school starts. January brings people making fresh starts. Summer attendance often dips with travel, which makes it a good time to plan fall outreach.

The mistake we see most

A website written for members, full of insider words, ministry acronyms and old events. A guest cannot find service times or what to do with their kids, and stays home. Write for the person who has never been there. Keep the calendar current, or take it down.

06Pricing

Starter $1,499 or Growth $2,000 one time. Monthly services $499 each, or all four for $1,497 a month. 30-day terms.

Common questions

Ask anything else on your free consultation.

Can our church get free Google ads?

Google offers Ad Grants to eligible nonprofits through its Google for Nonprofits program, and some churches qualify depending on how they are registered. The program has its own account quality rules that must be kept up. We can help you check eligibility, and if you are approved, managing the account through Google Ads Management is $499 a month.

How do we get more first-time guests from the website?

Make service times and a plan your visit page impossible to miss, and keep your Google profile current with photos and special service times. Then track visit plan forms in your dashboard. A Starter Website at $1,499 includes the main pages with form tracking built in.

We do not want to sound like we are selling. How do you handle that?

We do not write church outreach like a product ad. The tone is an invitation: here is when we meet, here is what to expect, here is how your kids will be cared for. The goal is to help people who are already looking take the next step, at their own pace.

Can you help with our Easter and Christmas outreach?

Yes. We build event pages, update the Google profile with special service times and run Meta ads to your community in the weeks before. Meta Ads Management runs on a 30-day agreement like every monthly service, so you can run it around the seasons that matter most to your church.
