More and more often, people are turning to Google to find their new church. It's important that you think about what search terms people might use to find a church like yours, then make sure your church ranks well for those terms. A common search term for finding a new church would be "denomination city", like "united methodist marietta". Type in your denomination and city and see where you come up. In fact, you should come up with a list of search terms like that, put them in an Excel spreadsheet, and check on them every month or so. Search Google for them, and go page by page until you find your site. (I only go 10 pages. If it's above #100, I don't worry about it at all).
