Turn R-1 sponsorship searches into signed clients.

Our pricing is public and plain. Google Ads management is 10% of your ad budget, with a $600/month minimum — and your full ad budget goes to Google, with no markup from us. SEO is $50 per page, starting at 10 pages a month. A custom website is one of eight one-time packages, from $1,500 to $20,000+ depending on scope (see /websites for the full breakdown). There's no setup fee, it's month-to-month with a 30-day guarantee, and we'll send an exact plan in a free proposal within one business day.

If most of your R-1 work still comes only from denominational referrals, or you can't tell which channel produced last month's retainers, an agency pays for itself. We build the site, ads, SEO, and follow-up that bring congregations to your firm directly — so you spend your time on filings and compliance reviews, not marketing. Already at capacity through referrals alone? You may not need one yet.

It handles every channel that brings congregations and denominations to your firm. SearchPod builds your site and brand, runs Google Ads, wins search and AI-search visibility, and automates follow-up and reviews — one connected system feeding your consult calendar, with one team accountable for all of it.

Pick one that understands R-1 is its own narrow specialty: tracking that ties every retainer to its source, and you keeping ownership of your site, ad accounts, and data. Skip generalists who treat a religious-worker practice like any local immigration firm and lock you into their platform. Ask how they prove ROI in signed cases, not leads.

Google Ads can bring in consultation requests within the first few weeks — useful when a congregation needs to file before a minister's status runs out. SEO and AI search build over 3–6 months into steady inquiries you don't pay per click for. Running both from day one is the fastest, most stable path.

Your website, ads, SEO, AI search, email, and reviews run as one connected system — not five vendors pointing fingers at each other. Pricing is public, with no hidden markup on ad spend and no setup fee. Month-to-month, no lock-in, and you own your site, ad accounts, and client data.

Yes. We build your marketing around the realities of an R-1 case — the two-year prior membership requirement, non-salaried and in-kind compensation documentation, and the USCIS site visit that verifies the sponsoring organization — so your pages and content speak to what congregations are actually nervous about.

Yes. We can build pages and campaigns aimed at denominational headquarters, mission boards, and diocesan offices that sponsor religious workers across many congregations, alongside content for the individual church or temple filing on its own — whichever mix best fits your practice.

Yes. From day one, every call and form is tracked to its source, so you know your true cost per signed case — and which searches and campaigns bring your most valuable petitioner clients.

Yes. Your forms, call tracking, and campaigns plug into your intake process or immigration case-management software, so every inquiry lands where your team can respond fast.

100%. Your website, brand assets, ad accounts, and client data stay yours — no proprietary platforms, no lock-in. If we ever part ways, everything leaves with your firm.

Most religious worker visa sites — with pages that explain the R-1 process, the site-visit review, and your firm's experience — launch in about 2–4 weeks, depending on scope and how fast content and feedback come back. You get a clear timeline up front and updates at every stage.
