Built for churches
REACHRIGHT is a church marketing agency that builds websites and runs local SEO, Google Ad Grants, and social media for evangelical churches. 800+ churches in 47 states since 2016. Built by pastors who've been in your shoes.
What REACHRIGHT does
Four services, all done for you, all built for churches.
Church websites
Custom and tailored websites built for churches, with online giving, events, and sermon archives built in. Hosting and security are included, and you can make unlimited updates yourself, anytime. The outcome is a site that answers a first-time guest's questions and gets them to a Sunday.
Local SEO and AI search visibility
We get your church into the Google map pack for "churches near me" searches and keep your listings accurate across directories and AI assistants. You get a monthly ranking report. The outcome is being the church people find when they search nearby.
Google Ad Grant management
Eligible churches get up to $10,000 a month in free Google search ads. We handle the application, campaigns, weekly optimization, and compliance, with a 90-day approval guarantee. The outcome is free ads that bring people to your church instead of a grant that sits unused.
Social media management
Done-for-you social media. We create and post sermon clips, graphics, carousels, and captions every week, and you approve one plan a month. The outcome is a consistent presence without a staff member losing their week to it.
Started in a pastor's office. Now serving 800+ churches.
Here's the problem we kept seeing: great churches that nobody could find online.
Thomas Costello and Ian Hyatt, both pastors, watched it happen over and over. Faithful congregations doing real ministry, invisible on Google. Outdated websites turning visitors away before they ever walked through the doors. Free grant money sitting on the table unclaimed.
So in 2016, they built an agency with churches at the center. Not a generalist shop that "also does churches." 800+ churches across 47 states, $14.24 million in Google Ad Grants managed, and a team that speaks your language because we've lived your world.
Every number on this page represents a real church reaching real people. Families finding a community. First-time visitors walking through the doors on Sunday. That's why we do this.
Thomas & Ian launch REACHRIGHT from a small office in Madison, Wisconsin. Two pastors, one mission.
Magen joins the team. Google Grant management goes live, and churches start getting $10K/mo in free ads.
200+ churches served across 30+ states. The pandemic proves digital isn't optional anymore.
$5M milestone in Google Grants managed. The portfolio keeps growing.
Sermon video clips become part of what we do for churches. Total client roster passes 600 churches.
800+ churches in 47 states. $14.24M in Google Grants managed. Still just getting started.

What makes REACHRIGHT different
There are other ways to get this done. Here is what you get with us that you won't get elsewhere.
Churches only, since 2016
We have served 800+ churches in 47 states and nothing else. A generalist agency learns your world on your budget. We already know the Sunday calendar, the board meeting, and the budget conversation.
Built and run by people in ministry
Our founders are former pastors, and everyone on the team serves in ministry. That shapes how we write, what we recommend, and what we refuse to do.
We do the work, not your staff
Website builders like Squarespace and Wix, and church platforms like Subsplash and Nucleus, give you tools and leave the work to your team. We design, build, post, optimize, and report for you.
Every price is published
Websites from $97 a month, local SEO $297, Google Ad Grant management $397, and social media from $497. It is all on our pricing page before you ever talk to us.
A deep Google Ad Grant track record
$14.24 million in Google Ad Grants managed for 300+ churches, backed by a 90-day approval guarantee.
How REACHRIGHT works
Start with a conversation
Book a call or request a free marketing review. We look at your website, search presence, and social media, and tell you what we would fix first.
Onboarding
Tailored websites go live in 1 to 2 weeks. Custom websites take 8 to 12 weeks from kickoff to launch. Social media onboarding takes about two weeks, starting with a kickoff call on your church's voice and calendar.
Who you work with
A project manager plus the specialists for your service. Social media clients get a video editor, designer, copywriter, scheduler, strategist, and account manager.
Approvals and reporting
Nothing posts until you approve it. Google Ad Grant and local SEO clients get monthly performance reports.

Our Mission
"Every church deserves to be found online by the people who need it most. We make that happen."
What We Actually Believe
Not corporate values on a wall. These show up in how we work every day.
Jesus First
This isn't just a business for us. We serve churches because we believe in the mission, and it shapes every decision we make.
Extreme Ownership
Your results are our responsibility. Something's not working? We don't point fingers. We fix it.
Authentic Expertise
We're not a generalist agency that takes church clients when it's convenient. Churches are our specialty and our passion. 800+ churches. 10+ years. That focus makes the difference.
Serve Well
Your church wins, we win. That's the deal. We pick up the phone, we respond fast, and we treat your ministry like it matters, because it does.
Results Count
Gut feelings don't grow churches online. Data does. We track what works, cut what doesn't, and show you the numbers every month.
Tenacious Curiosity
Google changes. Algorithms shift. We stay ahead because we never stop learning, testing, and improving what we do for your church.
Don't take our word for it. Take theirs.
