Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the practice of improving your website’s visibility in search engine results, making it easier for people to find your nonprofit online. For nonprofits, SEO is a critical tool to expand your reach, connect with potential supporters, and share your mission with a wider audience.

In a digital landscape where most people begin their search for information on platforms like Google, being visible is essential. SEO ensures your website ranks higher for relevant keywords, making it more likely that donors, volunteers, and community members discover your organization when searching for causes or services like yours.
