Fixed price · $950 · Two weeks from kickoff
Before anyone signs a retainer, find out whether a family new to your area could find your church at all — and what to fix in what order.
Every agency in this category will give you a free audit. It's a sales document — a list of everything wrong with your church, ending in a retainer proposal. We charge for ours so it can do the opposite: name the two things that matter, ignore the twelve that don't, and tell you plainly if visibility isn't your actual problem.
It's $950, it takes two weeks, and if you move into a retainer it comes off your first month in full. The report is yours regardless.
Where you actually rank for the searches a family new to your area would use, against the churches you're really competing with. Most pastors have never seen this, and it's usually the most uncomfortable page in the report.
Whether your church qualifies for up to $10,000 a month in free Google advertising — that's $120,000 a year — and exactly what standing between you and having it. If you're eligible and not using it, this line alone pays for the audit many times over.
We walk your site the way a first-time guest does, on a phone, and write down every place they'd stall. Where do I park, what happens to my kid, how long is this, what do I wear. Most church websites answer none of those in the first minute.
We watch a service the way someone at home does and look at what's actually running the room — audio path, camera, lighting, ProPresenter, network. No other church marketing agency will put this on an audit, because no other one can.
Not a list of everything that's wrong. A sequence — what to fix this month, what can wait until spring, and what you should genuinely not spend money on yet.
Thirty minutes on what's actually bothering you. If the audit isn't the right first step, we'll say so before you pay for it.
Search rankings, Ad Grant status, your site on a phone, your last few streams, your local listings, your follow-up. We watch a service the way someone at home does.
A written report and a live walkthrough with the senior person who did the work — not an account manager reading someone else's slides.
Move into a retainer and the full $950 comes off month one. Take the plan and run it yourself and we'll answer questions by email for a month anyway.
We don't decide which. The report tells you what your church needs and roughly what it costs, and you pick — including the option where you take the plan and run it in-house.
$950, flat. No hourly creep, no scope surprises. If your church moves into a retainer within ninety days, the full $950 is credited against your first month — so it effectively costs nothing but the decision.
Two weeks from kickoff. One short call to start, about a week of us digging, then a written report and a live walkthrough.
Because it's real work and a free audit is a sales pitch with a report stapled to it. Charging for it means we can tell you the uncomfortable thing — including that you shouldn't hire us — without it costing us the deal. A free audit can never say that.
Then that's what it says, in writing. We've told churches to put the money into a worship leader, a nursery renovation, or a staffing conversation instead. You'd have spent $950 to avoid spending a year finding out the expensive way.
No, and there's no pressure built into it. You keep the report and the twelve-month plan either way. Plenty of churches run the first three months themselves and come back later — that's a fine outcome.
Access to look, not access to change anything: your website, Google Business Profile, ad accounts if they exist, and a link to a recent service. One named contact who can answer questions. That's it.
Tell us your church and your website and we'll come back with a start date. If the audit isn't the right first move for you, we'll say that before you pay for anything.
