Thomas and Shiloh break down every new rule of church SEO in 2026 including why your Google Business Profile is now more important than your website for local search, how AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity are directly answering church search queries and leaving invisible churches completely out of the results, why Google reviews are a direct ranking signal most churches are ignoring, how Instagram and TikTok are functioning as search engines for younger audiences, and why one outdated listing across the web can quietly suppress your rankings without you ever knowing. \n\nEvery rule in this episode comes with a specific action any church can take this week regardless of technical skill or budget. SEO is not a technical problem. It is a findability problem and this episode makes it completely approachable for every pastor and church leader who has ever tuned out the moment someone said the word optimization. ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/hHdpkz1SiJM4WlhNoYGKcmhnGyoIBO0rdJ04HJvirJo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yZjBm/ZjRkMGRiMGRhNmQ0/YmE1ZTU5ZWFhNTUz/ODA2Ni5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
