Google Business Profile for churches — the 10-minute fix list
Your Google Business Profile decides who shows up for “churches near me” — and now what Google's AI Overviews say about you. Ten minutes, free.
Do it today
Claim the profile and confirm your category matches your tradition (Baptist, Anglican, Catholic, Pentecostal, non-denominational) — generic “Church” loses ranking power.
Put your full name, address, service times, and phone number on every page of your site — and make them identical everywhere.
Add photos of the building, the service, and the people. Profiles with photos get found first.
Post weekly: service times, events, sermons. An active profile tells Google — and AI — you are alive.
Ask members for Google reviews and reply to every one. Reviews are what AI quotes when it recommends a church.
Add the llms.txt file (see the llms.txt box on the grid) so AI engines can read who you are in plain text.
