We are a group of pastors and lay people that have a desire to help churches reach their city with the message and vision that God has given them. Unfortunately there is a huge gap between the churches message and the online seeker. There are approximately 5 million searches done each month in the U.S. for the term churches, which gives us an indication of the amount of U.S. online internet users looking for churches.
If the churches have this much search volume for the product and services they offer, then it would make sense for them to align themselves to capture it in the most effective way. We know that a portion of the 5 million searches performed each month leads online viewers to dead ends, offering them no hope of finding a church home. This is in part due to the local church being unaware of how to convert these internet searches into first time visitors at their church.
We have designed an online opportunity for churches to finally reach their city through the growing internet market. Many church Pastors don’t understand search engine optimization, lead generation, internet marketing techniques, web 2.0 development, keyword research, and other internet technologies. This is where we can help. We understand these internet marketing elements and desire to help churches position their message and vision where the internet searchers are, thus increasing their ability to reach the city with their message.
It is our desire to help bridge the gap between the local churches and the community in which they serve. We know how hard it is for people to find a church that they can call home, and how difficult it can be for churches to reach their communities. With that in mind we have developed a network of “target specific” websites as an opportunity for local churches to share their story, vision, history, photos, videos, and even sermons online. With this information available to the local community, many people will be able to get a taste of what some of the churches in the city are like. Along with our network of local church sites we offer other internet strategies like search engine optimization, micro sites, social media integration and training.
Thank you for taking the time to read who we are and what our heart is about. If you are a Pastor and would like to have an opportunity to share your message and vision with your city, just choose the Get Started link below and begin your journey of reaching your city’s online searchers.
Sincerely,
Reach The City Media Team
