Covenant Church

01. The situation

Covenant Church is a real, growing church in Van Buren, Missouri, but online it was close to invisible. It basically had no Google Business Profile at all, so when someone searched for a church in Van Buren, Covenant did not come up. Its Facebook page was quiet, and there was no steady system keeping the church in front of the people in its own community.

For a church, that is the whole ballgame. People moving to town, visiting the river, or just looking for a church start with a search and a scroll. If you are not there, you do not exist to them.

02. What I did

I rebuilt the church's website from the ground up: clear service times, directions, pages for kids, students, and Bible studies, and sermon video, all easy to find and fast on a phone.

I built the Google presence from zero: a complete, claimed Google Business Profile with the correct name, address, phone, website, categories, description, and hours, plus the site work behind it. Covenant's own pages now take the top organic spots for the searches that matter most.

I have run the church's Facebook presence for the past year: steady posts, service and event coverage, and video, on a schedule that does not depend on anyone remembering to post.

03. What happened

One year in, here is what Covenant's own numbers show. The Facebook figures below are the church's Meta numbers for the year. On Google, verified in November 2026, Covenant sits in the top 3 in every Van Buren church search, at number 2 in most of them, and takes both of the top two results for 'non denominational church Van Buren MO'. For a church that started the year invisible on Google, that is the difference between being found and being skipped.
