How to help people find your organisation on Google

Simple steps that help local people find your website when they search.

Use your full name and town

Put your organisation name and town in the page title and the first line of the home page. People search by name and place, so say both clearly.

Claim your Google Business Profile

A free profile shows your address, opening times and phone number on the map. Check that it matches your website exactly.

Answer the questions people ask

Write short pages for common questions such as prayer times, how to visit, and how to book a room. Use the same words people would type.

Keep details the same everywhere

Use one spelling of your name, address and phone number on your site, social pages and directories. Mixed details confuse search engines and visitors.

Ask others to link to you

Local councils, interfaith groups and partner charities often list community websites. A link from them helps people trust and find you.
