Supporters have to find you in order to donate to you. If your organization’s website isn’t popping up on search engines when people are looking for information relevant to your mission or services, you’re missing out on opportunities to expand your community. Working with a volunteer to improve your website’s search engine optimization (SEO) will increase traffic, bringing your organization’s mission to a bigger and more relevant audience.

“We needed help improving the SEO of our website to expand the reach of our message and attract new supporters. A Taproot volunteer came and helped set us up for success.” – Brian Bollinger, Executive Director, Friends of Refugees
