"My name is Levi Gafford, and I am the lead pastor at High Ridge Church, Rocklin, California. We're a church that we planted over two years ago. And one of the major issues we've had is just being able to market well.
Results we've seen:
- We're now ranked Number One in keywords in Rocklin,聽and it聽has only been for a few months.聽
- Our listing score went from a B to an A.
- Our organic search has increased by 60%.
- we're starting to see anywhere from 10 to 15 first-time guests on a Sunday per week.
Big win on Easter:
It was our first time really marketing, and we doubled the attendance and had a lot of salvation.
We also marketed聽a block party for the following Sunday, which was suggested. We did that, and we had a lot of those families that came back after Easter. It gave me a chance to have good personal conversations with many of the new families.
One specific family came to Easter because of our marketing efforts. Then they went to the block party right after. And then they went to Growth Track, which is our membership class. And now they're serving and involved.
I had coffee with them this week, and they said that they had just moved to the area and were looking for a church. We were the first church to pop up when they searched on Google.
They checked out our website and came to our church. It's been a massive help to us, and it's definitely working, and we're incredibly thankful."
