EQUALLY IMPORTANT
We are probably not the right fit if...
You need results in 30 days. SEO doesn't work that way, and anyone who says it does is lying to you.
You want to own the strategy internally and outsource only execution. We work as strategic partners, not vendors.
Your budget is under $2,000/month. We can't do our best work at that level.
The brands we work best with are past the “let’s try SEO” phase. They know it works. They want it done properly.
Lyon non-profit & charity is a different game.
We’ve run SEO here. We know what it takes.
Charities using SEO acquire donors at 4x lower cost than paid advertising
Non-profits and charities in Lyon compete for donor attention, volunteer engagement, and programme funding in one of the most search-visible sectors — and yet most organisations leave massive organic opportunity untapped. Google's Ad Grants programme provides €10,000/month in free paid search credits, but grants alone aren't enough. The charities building the strongest donor pipelines in Lyon combine smart Google Ad Grant management with organic SEO that converts one-time donors into recurring supporters and amplifies every awareness campaign.
The 3 places Lyon non-profit & charity brands leave revenue on the table
Every engagement starts with a structured audit. These patterns show up in 9 out of 10 non-profit & charity brands we assess — regardless of size or previous agency history.
Don’t take our word for it.Here’s what we actually delivered.
Virtually invisible in Lyon donor searches despite 15-year track record; using only 32% of Google Ad Grant allowance; one-time to recurring donor conversion rate of 9%.

You shouldn’t have to wonder what your agency is doing with your money.
Every Friday, you get a Loom from your strategist. Not a report — a walkthrough. What changed, what we’re doing about it, what to expect next week. Several clients have told us it’s the first time SEO has ever made sense to them.
From audit to measurable growth, step by step
Within 6–12 months, your charity ranks for key cause-related searches in Lyon, fully utilises your Google Ad Grants allowance, and converts one-time donors to recurring supporters at 2–3x your current rate. Organic donor acquisition compounds month on month.
Non-Profit SEO & Grant Audit
We audit your organic search visibility, Google Ad Grant account, and donor journey against Lyon's most visible charities in your cause area. We identify content gaps, technical issues, and grant optimisation opportunities.
Technical SEO & Schema Implementation
We fix technical SEO issues, implement Non-Profit and Event schema, and optimise your Google Business Profile. We also resolve any Google Ad Grant compliance issues preventing full grant utilisation.
Cause & Programme Content Strategy
We create cause-specific content targeting Lyon donor and volunteer search intent — 'donate to [cause] Lyon', 'volunteer Lyon', and programme discovery queries. Each page is built to inform, build trust, and convert visitors into supporters.
Ad Grant Optimisation & SEO Integration
We restructure your Google Ad Grant campaigns to maximise the €10k/month allowance — bid strategies, keyword expansion, and landing page alignment. We integrate Ad Grant traffic with organic SEO to create a seamless donor journey.
Donor Acquisition & Retention Tracking
Monthly reporting on organic traffic, Ad Grant performance, new donor acquisition, and recurring donor conversion rates. We measure what matters — donors and donations, not just clicks.
The honest difference
We’re not going to call other agencies bad. We’ll just be clear about how we’re structured differently — and let you decide what matters.
| Omakaase | What we hear from most agencies | |
|---|---|---|
| Contracts | ✓ Month-to-month. Walk away any time. | 12-month minimum (standard) |
| Who's on your account | ✓ Senior strategist. Doesn't rotate. | Account manager, often junior, rotates 6–12 months |
| Reporting cadence | ✓ Weekly Loom video + live dashboard | Monthly PDF report |
| Attribution model | ✓ Revenue-connected from Day 1 | Rankings + traffic only |
| Cost transparency | ✓ You see where every dollar goes | Black-box retainer |

“By month three, our main product keyword hit Page 1. By month six, we cut Google Ads spend by 40% because organic was finally doing its job. That's the real test.”

“The weekly Loom is something no one else offered. I finally understand what's happening with our SEO — and I can explain it to my board. That matters more than I expected.”

“I've run three agencies through their paces. This is the first one that attributes everything back to revenue. Rankings are vanity. Pipeline is the point.”

The questions founders actually ask us
Not the FAQ we wrote. The questions from real first calls.
How much does SEO cost for a charity in Lyon?
Non-profit SEO retainers typically range €1,500–€4,500/month. We offer charitable rate discounts and can structure programmes around your budget cycles. The Google Ad Grant optimisation often funds SEO costs through improved grant utilisation alone.
What is Google Ad Grants and how does it work for charities?
Google Ad Grants provides eligible non-profits with €10,000/month in free Google Ads credits. Most organisations use less than 40% due to campaign structure and landing page requirements. We manage grant compliance and optimisation as part of our non-profit SEO programmes.
How do you convert one-time donors to recurring supporters?
Through post-donation content journeys, impact transparency pages, recurring giving programme pages, and SEO-optimised stewardship content. Recurring donors give 4–8x more annually — conversion from one-time to recurring is one of our key metrics.
Can SEO help with volunteer recruitment as well as donations?
Yes. Volunteer search queries in Lyon — 'volunteer Lyon', 'volunteer near me [cause]' — are addressable through SEO. We build volunteer recruitment landing pages as part of every non-profit programme.
How long until we see results?
Google Ad Grant improvements show results within 4–8 weeks. Organic rankings for cause-specific pages typically improve within 60–90 days. Meaningful donation increases from organic appear in 4–6 months.
