The Challenge

Harbor Church launched in Austin — one of the most competitive church markets in the US. They had a solid website and a clear vision, but virtually no online visibility. Organic search was delivering fewer than 50 monthly visits. They needed to be found by the thousands of people searching for a church in their neighborhoods.

Our Approach

We conducted a full local SEO audit, claimed and optimized their Google Business Profile across two campus locations, built out neighborhood-targeted landing pages, and launched a consistent blog strategy covering topics their target audience was actually searching for.

Deliverables

  • Local SEO audit + 47-item technical fix list
  • Google Business Profile setup (2 locations)
  • 6 neighborhood/area landing pages
  • Keyword research + content calendar (12 months)
  • 8 SEO-optimized blog posts
  • Monthly analytics reporting
SEO & Digital GrowthContent

Within 3 months people started saying 'I googled churches in South Austin and you came up.' That had never happened before. Worth every penny.
