I agree with your conclusion and that is more than likely where I land as well. I think one factor that plays into this is your community. Are you in a largely populated area with a lot of churches or are you an area where it's your church and just a few others?

We are not out to take people away from other churches. If people are getting the truth when searching for curtain terms then we are not going to invest in trying to outrank for those terms.

1. Sharing content, this what it is all about and the whole point of the church.
2. Branding, so people know who you are
3. SEO, local SEO and for terms where people are not getting the real truth.

An effective search engine optimization will start with the content on the site – is it clear what the site is about? Is the message consistent and specific (enough)? What will the search engine es point to?

If you've got great content and the search engines are favorable, what happens when people now visit your church and find something completely different than what they saw online? Branding is about establishing your identity and living in that identity, both online and off.

Branding – Content – SEO
