Two of the most helpful tools your church can use to be more visible with your surrounding community are the Google Business Profile and Apple Maps. Getting listed and verified on these services isn't always straightforward, unfortunately, which is why we filmed this episode! We sat down with Andrew Hollingsworth, a church planter in Mandeville, LA, to walk through the practical steps he took to get his church listed and begin optimizing their profiles with Google and Apple to make their new church more easy to discover online.
