SEO for Charities: Boost your website’s visibility

Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) can feel like a complicated world, especially with AI now changing how people discover information. But with the right guidance, it can become a powerful tool for reaching the supporters, donors, and volunteers your charity needs.

This friendly, practical two-hour workshop will break SEO down into clear, manageable steps. You’ll learn how to help more people find your charity online, regardless of whether they’re searching on Google, browsing resources, or asking an AI assistant for help.

We’ll cover what really matters about SEO in 2026, how search engines and AI tools find and prioritise information, and how small, simple changes can make a big difference to your visibility.
