My first pages of content on the new open Skool AI for Ministry group are now coming up in Google/other search results. It took a total of 22 days from when the group was created for any of the indexed pages to come up in first 2 pages of Google search results. Of course, ranking depends on where people are located, but it's working quicker than I expected. Skool obviously has a high authority rating with around 40 million visits a month. It holds a global rank around #1,200 and a U.S. Rank of #785 FYI- I'm not coming up in AI summaries yet, but I figured that would take time.

I'm still tweaking this, but I thought people here might find it interesting for a few reasons. Church Health Scorecard — Age Distribution Tool Most church health conversations focus on attendance numbers — are we growing or shrinking? This tool asks a different question: given the people who are already showing up, does your congregation have the generational balance to sustain itself into the future? A church can be growing and still be in serious age-related trouble. A smaller church with the right spread across generations may actually have a healthier outlook than a larger one missing an entire life stage. A few things that make it different. - Benchmarks are pulled from real research — Pew, the National Congregations Study, Lifeway, and the Church Answers Health Scorecard — not arbitrary targets - The age brackets match how churches actually think about ministry (nursery, student ministry, young adults, etc.) rather than generic demographic ranges - It adjusts context based on region, because a congregation skewing older means something very different in Sub-Saharan Africa than it does in North America - It's honest about what it can't tell you — it clearly separates generational health from overall growth so you don't mistake a good score for a clean bill of health - If your church is small, it flags that percentage-based scores become less reliable at low attendance numbers and explains why - It spits out a letter grade, a color-coded bracket breakdown, a written health report with specific next steps, and a shareable PDF — all designed for a leadership team conversation, not just personal curiosity Still a work in progress but wanted to share it now. Would love to hear what you think or what I'm missing?

I'm wrapping up my 52 Churches in 52 Weeks tour and have developed a Secret Church Shopper Checklist with 160 specific questions. The result is a pretty comprehensive report. I'm exploring the idea of also offering a "done for you" audit service by hiring locals who use my system and I analyze everything for accuracy. Has anyone had experience with church audits or mystery visitor services? I'm having trouble finding good information online, particularly around pricing. I want to make sure I position this service appropriately, so any insight into what churches are currently paying for this kind of audit would be really helpful.
