Website audit · 17 October 2026 · GOC Studios
Global Harvest Ministry has two pages on somebody else's service, built in 2022 and untouched since. The good news is that there is nothing to undo. Everything below is a thing to build, and the order matters more than the budget.

No https at all, on a site that collects dates of birth

Pages
A sign-up form, and the service times behind it

Last touched
The copyright line and the birth-year menu both stop here

The church does not come up for its own name
Both pages of the current site, read line by line. The address and the service times are correct and findable. Almost nothing else exists.
| What a church site needs | Global Harvest today |
|---|---|
| Encrypted connection | None. http only, and the sign-up form collects name, mobile, email, date of birth, gender and zip in readable text |
| Its own domain | No. A subdomain of mymobisite.us |
| Pages | 2 |
| Service times findable from the homepage | No. They are on page two, behind a link reading "Stay Connected" |
| Pastor named anywhere | No |
| Phone number or email | Neither |
| Photographs | 2, one a 51 px logo |
| Meta description | Empty |
| Sermons, giving, ministries | None |
| Address and service times on the site | Yes. 8500 N. IH-35, Austin 78753. Sunday 11:00 a.m. English, 1:00 p.m. Spanish on the 1st and 3rd Sunday |
The first two unblock everything else and can be done in an afternoon for the price of a domain name.
01
Something like globalharvestaustin.org. A current host issues the security certificate free, which solves the unencrypted form on the same day. Nothing else on this list is worth doing until the church owns its own address.
Week one · about $15/yr
02
Name, address, phone, both service times, and a handful of real photographs. For a church this size the profile brings more people through the door than the website will, and it costs nothing. It also needs a phone number, which means finding one first.
Week one · 2 hrs
03
The building from the road so a stranger recognises the door. The sanctuary full on a Sunday. A portrait of the pastor. One of the congregation. A phone in daylight is enough, and without these any site will look like a template.
Week one · one Sunday
04
Who leads this church. What a Sunday is like and how long it runs. Where to park. Whether there is anything for children. None of these exists on the site today.
Week two
05
A Spanish service twice a month in north Austin is a genuinely distinct offer and very few churches nearby advertise one. It should be in the header of every page, not in a line of small text on page two.
Week two
06
The site currently offers two forms and no way to reach a person. A form asks somebody to trust you before you have given them anything.
Week two
07
"For SMS Entertainment Purposes Only" has to go, along with the 2022 copyright and the birth-year menu that stops at 2022.
Week two
08
Of everything on this list, the thing most likely to bring a stranger in is being able to watch a Sunday before deciding to attend one. A phone on a tripod and a YouTube channel is the whole setup.
Month two
The mockup uses only the church's own facts and its own words, including the five next steps already on the current form. Blanks the church has to fill in are marked in red.
What current practice says
Most church SEO writing comes from agencies selling church SEO. The advice is consistent across them, but treat any specific figure in those articles as a claim rather than a measurement. Every number in this audit came from the site itself.
