Notes from the Interview
  Why do we care if people come to our websites?
Need for visibility brings more of people you want to see, online is where people are looking.
Not ranking on Google is like being 100 miles off the highway with no lights turned on. No one can find you!
You can’t get the word out on your work if no one can find you.
How do you figure out who to attract to your website?  
Extensive interview with client, create keywords and Adwords to drive traffic, find out what people are searching for through online research, very few people aware of what prospects are searching for and tax status is not a factor.
Online is where more search for info takes place!
1. What is a Google Grant and How Do I Apply?
Google’s way to give back to the community; $10,000 month available to 501(c)3; keyword bids restricted to $2 or less; must find enough keywords to use all of the funds.
Qualifications - verify status as charity; apply online; campaign (Adwords) must be ready to go when launching 
2. What is SEO and why do I need it for my charity or church? 
Paid v. Organic Search priority given to paid; Ranking based on most relevant to search according to Google who cater to their own customers; can use best keywords when they are paid for; Google rates the information you provide, you have to build authority; organic search provides 5 times amount of results as paid search; you have to build credibility through your results; good information adds to your authority!
Facebook uses pixels attached to your website to build a “smart dat profile.” Google does not do this for you.
LinkedIn relation to Google - optimized profiles are critical to building authority, it helps develop authority
Organic Reach - Basics
Clarity around what you do needs to be clear to Google tech; links back to high authority sites on subject helps (on page SEO) must be relevant and valuable; Google grades authority based on links from other sites, social media, or blog posts that are shared or other shared information. This all takes time using SEO.
Only 18% to 20% of traffic comes from paid search. The rest is organic! The top 3 get the lion’s share!
Analytics tell you what people type in to find you. Free tutorials available from Google.
One-third of searches on monthly basis are different from anything they’ve ever seen before!
