To increase the number of in-person visitors resulting from the funnel, there are two general areas in which you can improve: 1) Generate more "new visitor" traffic to your church website; 2) Do a better job of your website converting "new visitor" website traffic into in-person visits. In this episode, Katie Allred and Kenny Jahng will discuss two aspects to help you evaluate your traffic: Google Search Console and Google Analytics. Google Search Console helps you evaluate where your organic, "new visitor" traffic is coming from, and how to get more. Google Analytics helps you evaluate what "new visitor" traffic is doing once they reach your website, and how to improve your website to convert more new visitors into in-person visits.

Facebook Power Group We're excited to share with all of you that Facebook considers our group to be a "power" group. 
 
And the really cool part: "Power groups are what Facebook considers to be the most active, engaging, and influential groups on the Facebook platform." 
 
They are referring to YOU, our members!! So if you feel like strutting a little today..! 
 
Because of this, we've been invited by Facebook to join a group that gives admins of these power groups a platform to connect directly with the Facebook team to share feedback, test new features, as well as access to new admin-specific tech support they are piloting. This is a dream come true to be able to offer suggestions directly to Facebook knowing that they are actually listening. 
 
It's all because of each of you and we're so pumped and thankful for each of you who engage each other with such kindness and generosity each day.
