Why it exists

Small teams. Big questions.

Most ministries have limited resources and a small team dedicated to digital.

That usually means no time to dig into the data and figure out what actually moves the needle on your website. Meanwhile, leadership wants to know how digital is performing, and nobody is sure how to gather the numbers. That's the gap the Digital Growth Strategy was built to close.

The opportunity

People are looking for what you offer.

In our Ministry Benchmark Study of more than 1,000 ministries, roughly 70% gained keyword rankings in Google's top 100, up from about half the year before. For many ministries, organic search now brings in more than half of all website traffic.

The opportunity is real. The ministries that capture it are the ones with a solid foundation: accurate data, a findable site, and clear next steps for every visitor.

Bar chart: the share of ministries gaining Google top-100 keyword rankings rose from about 50% in the prior Five Q Benchmark Study to about 70% in the 2024 study

How it works

Four weeks. One clear direction.

We analyze three areas guaranteed to affect your digital presence, then turn what we learn into a plan your team can act on.

Vision and goals

Week 1

We learn your mission and vision, then set goals for the next 12 months so the two are aligned.

SEO audit

Week 2

We uncover ranking problems, missed keyword opportunities, and anything limiting how easily people find you.

Analytics audit

Week 3

We find the gaps in how you collect data, so the numbers behind your decisions are accurate and complete.

Conversion and plan

Week 4

We review your site for barriers to conversion, then fold every finding into your Digital Growth Plan.

Illustrative line chart: engaged website visitors grow about 66% over 12 months with a Digital Growth Plan, across Foundation, Findability, Conversion, and Scale phases, versus a nearly flat line without a plan

The vision

Picture your next 12 months.

Growth rarely comes from one big move. It comes from doing the right things in the right order, so each quarter builds on the last.

  • Foundation: fix tracking and technical issues so you can trust your numbers.
  • Findability: win the searches your audience is already making.
  • Conversion: turn more visitors into subscribers, partners, and donors.
  • Scale: double down on what the data says is working.

Illustrative example. Your plan is built from your own data and goals.

A sample roadmap

Every quarter has a job.

Here's the shape a plan often takes. Yours will be ordered around your ministry's goals and what your data shows.

Sample roadmap for illustration. Every Digital Growth Plan is custom.

Why conversion matters

Small fixes. Big difference.

You don't always need more traffic to grow. Lifting conversion from 2% to 3% sounds small, but on the same 10,000 monthly visitors it means 50% more people taking a next step with your ministry.

That's why every Digital Growth Strategy includes a conversion review. It's often the fastest win in the whole plan.

Illustrative math: 2% to 3% conversion on 10,000 monthly visitors.

Illustrative bar chart: with the same 10,000 monthly visitors, conversion fixes raise engaged visitors from 3,000 to 3,600 and next steps taken from 200 to 300, a 50% increase
