Local SEO & AI Search

Google. Maps. ChatGPT.

Be the church they all recommend.

When someone searches “churches near me,” they used to only check Google. Now they also ask ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Your church needs to show up in all of them — and one optimization gets you there.

Live in 14 days. Measurable results in 90.

The shift

How families find a church just changed.

A mom moving to your city now runs two searches. She types “churches near me” into Google, then asks ChatGPT for a recommendation. Two algorithms. One chance. Every week you wait, someone searches, does not find you, and visits another church. That is not a marketing problem — it is a ministry problem.

What I do

Optimize once. Show up everywhere.

The signals that make Google rank your church are the same signals AI engines use to recommend it. So I do not charge twice — I strengthen four core signals, and you rise in both.

Google Business Profile

Your digital front door. Posted to weekly so Google and AI crawlers always see accurate, fresh information.

Citation consistency

Your name, address, and phone across 25+ directories. One wrong detail and the algorithms lose confidence.

Review velocity

Churches with 80+ reviews dominate. Churches with four do not. I build a simple system that keeps them coming.

Schema & structured data

Code on your website that tells search engines and AI exactly what your church is, where it is, and when you meet.

How it works

Three steps. Then your phone starts ringing.

Live in 14 days. Results in 90.

Testimonials

Found online. Seen on Sunday.

Jacquelin WaltonJacquelin WaltonCommunications Coordinator

Our “search-ability” as a church has improved so much. When we ask new guests how they found us, the answer is almost always “we found you online.”

Mike KuhnsMike KuhnsFinance Director

The monthly reports are transparent and data-driven. It was easy to show our leadership exactly how many more people are finding us in local search.

RRobert ChenLead Pastor

We are a small church in a small town, and we now show up first for “church near me.” That visibility has brought real families through our doors.

Questions

Still have questions? Good.

Isn’t “GEO” a separate service from SEO?+

No. Getting recommended by AI engines uses the same signals as local SEO — citations, reviews, structured data, and content. Agencies selling it as a separate line item are charging you twice for the same work.

How is this different from SEO we already paid for?+

Most churches that “already did SEO” had someone tweak a few title tags. I manage your full local presence: Business Profile, 25+ citations, review velocity, and the schema AI engines depend on.

Will this work for a small church?+

Often better. You compete in a smaller radius against fewer churches. A church of 75 in a town of 20,000 can dominate local search faster than a megachurch in a big metro.

How long until we see results?+

Your optimizations go live in 14 days. Google usually reflects changes in 4–6 weeks. Most churches see measurable improvement within 90 days.

Do we need a website from Faith Funnels for this to work?+

No. I optimize your local presence no matter who built your site, and add schema if it is missing. If you also need a site, my bundle is the most cost-effective path.

Do you guarantee first-page rankings?+

No honest provider guarantees rankings — Google and AI engines control their own algorithms. What I guarantee is a fully optimized presence: accurate citations, active reviews, and proper structured data.

The choice is simple

A family nearby is asking for a church right now.

Google showed them three. ChatGPT recommended one. Was yours in either list? 76% of local searchers visit within 24 hours. That family is deciding this week.
