## Who should skip this?

- Charities whose sites cannot be changed — grants and authority programmes need an implementable CMS.
- Organisations chasing rankings for terms with no supporter intent — we target the queries donors, volunteers and beneficiaries actually ask.
- Teams that want guaranteed Google Ad Grant approval as part of SEO — separate processes; we do not blur them.

     The opportunity

 When a potential donor asks Google or ChatGPT 'which UK charities help homeless young people?', which charities appear? The answer is determined by SEO and AEO — not charity size. We specialise in building organic search visibility and AI citation strategies for UK charities, with approaches calibrated to sector budgets.

## What are the common questions about Frequently Asked Questions?

**Can AI recommend my charity to potential donors?**

   Yes — donors increasingly ask ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity which charities to support for a cause. AI engines recommend organisations with clear mission pages, transparent impact data, Charity Commission registration details in structured data, and third-party corroboration. Charity AEO is the newest, least-contested discipline in search — early movers will own AI answers in their cause area.

**Is SEO relevant for small charities with small websites?**

   Absolutely — small charities often compete less fiercely in search than commercial businesses. A well-structured 10-page website with proper SEO can significantly outperform a larger organisation's poorly optimised site.

**Can SEO help with grant applications?**

   Indirectly yes — grant officers research organisations online before awarding funding. Strong search visibility and a professional, content-rich website positively influences the grant assessment process.

**What charity SEO prices do you charge?**

   Our charity SEO plans start from £795/month (after 20% charity discount applied to our standard £995 plan). We also offer a one-off SEO audit for charities at £595.

**How do donors search for charities online?**

   Donors search using cause-specific queries ('charities helping homeless young people in London'), trustworthiness queries ('how to donate safely to animal charities UK'), and question-based queries ('which charities help with mental health in the UK?'). AEO targets these question-format queries directly. SEO ensures you rank for cause-specific searches. Both are needed to capture potential donors at different stages of their giving journey, from awareness to decision.

**Does having a Charity Commission registration help with Google rankings?**

   Indirectly yes. Registration provides a verifiable entity signal — your charity number — that appears across multiple authoritative web sources including the Charity Commission website, JustGiving, and other fundraising platforms. This cross-web entity consistency helps both Google and AI engines verify and cite your charity with greater confidence, which is a measurable trust signal in both traditional and AI-powered search.
