HOW CLIENTS FIND YOU NOW
One search, three places to win.
Donors, volunteers and people who need help search in different ways, but they land in the same three places: the map, the search results and an AI answer that names a few organizations. Wherever they start, trust on your site decides the gift or the sign-up.
volunteer at a food bank near me
Google Maps and local results
People looking for help or a place to volunteer search near them. Your Google Business Profile, its category, hours, photos and reviews decide whether you appear on the map.
What we do: We set up your profile for each location and keep programs, hours and photos current.
Google search results
Google ranks pages that answer the exact need: a program page for "free tax help in Denver" beats a general "what we do" page. Name searches after an appeal need to land on a page that makes giving easy.
What we do: We build program, location, volunteer and donation pages and fix what holds the site back.
AI answers
Donors and volunteers can now ask ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews which charities work on a cause nearby. These tools draw on your site, public profiles and charity listings, so facts that match everywhere matter.
What we do: We write answer-first pages on your mission, results and finances, and keep your details consistent on charity directories.
Then they call the nonprofit that showed up clearest.
WHAT WE DO
Rank, get named, get the call.
SEO so the people you serve and the people who fund you can find you, AI search so you are named when someone asks where to give, and conversion so a visit becomes a gift, a sign-up or a request for help.

THE FIRST 90 DAYS
What happens, and when.
The first three months build the base. Nothing here promises donations, volunteers or rankings; it is the order the work happens in.
- 1Month 1
Audit and plan
Donation and sign-up tracking checked, a technical audit, your Google profile reviewed, and the programs, places and questions to target agreed with your team.
- 2Month 2
Fix and build
Technical fixes ship, the first program and volunteer pages go live after your approval, and the donation page is reviewed for search and speed.
- 3Month 3
Pages get found
Google crawls the new pages and early gains show on local and program searches. The first report includes what AI assistants say about your organization.
Search grows slowly, then compounds, which suits organizations that plan year to year. We suggest six months before you judge it, and we time content around your giving calendar, such as year-end and Giving Tuesday.
BY SPECIALTY
Planned for how you work.
Each cause has its own searches and its own audience, so we plan pages around who you need to reach.
- Food banks and housingPeople searching urgently for help nearby, and donors and volunteers at peak seasons.
- Animal shelters and rescuesAdoption searches led by photos, plus foster sign-ups and supply drives.
- Youth and educationParents looking for programs, and funders who want to see outcomes.
- Health and human servicesSensitive searches where clear eligibility and privacy come first.
- Arts and cultureEvent and membership searches tied to a season and a city.
- Faith-based organizationsService times, community programs and giving, often searched by neighborhood.
- Environment and conservationVolunteer days, plus donors researching which causes to back.
Written within the fundraising rules
In the US, the IRS requires a written acknowledgment for any single gift of $250 or more and a disclosure when a payment over $75 is partly for goods or services, and only qualifying organizations, such as 501(c)(3) charities, should tell donors a gift is tax-deductible. Most states require charities to register before asking their residents for donations, and some require a disclosure statement on solicitations. The FTC and state attorneys general treat false claims about how donations are used as deception. We write claims you can back up, and you approve every page before it goes live.
The cost depends on how many programs and locations you want to reach, the state of your current site and how crowded your cause is in search. SEO plans are on the pricing page, and on the first call we tell you which one suits your goals.
QUESTIONS
Nonprofit SEO, answered.
01How long does nonprofit SEO take?
Technical fixes and Google profile updates often show early movement within two to three months. Growth in visits, sign-ups and gifts from search usually builds over six to twelve months. Local programs tend to move faster than national cause searches, where large charities compete.
02How does SEO work alongside Google Ad Grants?
Google Ad Grants is a Google program that gives eligible nonprofits free search ads, with rules on account quality and performance. Approval is Google's decision, so nobody can promise it. The two help each other: the pages we build for SEO give grant-funded ads useful places to send people, and SEO keeps working if a grant account is paused.
03We are a small nonprofit. Is SEO worth it for us?
Often, yes, because the searches that matter are narrow: your cause in your city, your programs and your name. A small organization can win those with a clear, well-built site. We look at your searches first and tell you plainly if another channel would serve you better.
04What do you need from our team?
Access to your website, Google Analytics, Search Console and Google Business Profile, one person who approves what we publish, and the facts that build trust: programs, people served, annual reports and stories you have permission to share.
05Do we need AI search as well as SEO?
Some donors and volunteers now ask an AI assistant which charity to support or where to help. AEO is the work that gets you named there. It builds on SEO plus clear public facts about your finances, leadership and results, so we plan both together.
06What does nonprofit SEO cost?
It depends on how many programs and locations you want to reach, the state of your site and how crowded your cause is in search. SEO plans are on the pricing page, and on the first call we tell you which one suits your goals.
07Can you guarantee more donations?
No. Giving depends on your cause, your appeals and the wider economy as well as on search. What we commit to is the work: a sound site, pages people can find, a donation path that works and honest monthly reports on what changed.
