Upcoming Changes: what Church Profile Managers need to know (and do)
Exciting improvements and changes!
Lee Raney here...founder of ChurchFinder®. Our entire team is hard at work this summer
making improvements to ChurchFinder.com that will help your church reach even more people!
After our announcements last month about upcoming improvements to Church Profiles, Reviews and more, you may be wondering what it means for your Church Profile, and what you need to do.
The Good News - you don't need to do anything right now. We are going to make the "transition" for you - moving any existing Reviews you have to the new format. Also the Photo Tour will change, but any partner churches with an existing Virtual Photo Tour will be converted over to the new format. We are doing this for you at no cost to you!
Later in August... we will be emailing all Church Profile Managers with details on the new features, and how you can update your Church Profile to make it complete. With the new design, your Church Profile will the highest of quality and design - helping you make a GREAT first impression to people looking for a church in your city!
Get ready to engage your Church Members with the new "ChurchFinder® Social Reviews"! Reviews and 5-star ratings will be featured prominantly on the new Church Profiles. In today's digital world, studies have show that on-line reviews are at the top of people's decision making process when they evaluate what to buy, what restaurant to go to - almost everything. With the new ChurchFinder® Social Reviews, your church members can write a review of your church and easily share it on social media - a 21st century way to invite their neighbors to church!
