Why Every Local Christian-Owned Business Should Join

Have you ever searched for a local Christian-owned business and come up empty? You’re not alone. Many believers want to support like-minded businesses, but there’s no easy way to find them all in one place. That’s exactly why on Team Jesus exists. It’s a Christian business directory built for people who care about faith, integrity, and good service.

What Is on Team Jesus?

on Team Jesus is more than a directory — it’s a growing community of Christian business owners who believe in doing work the right way. Whether you’re a roofer, web designer, therapist, homeschool coach, or run a mobile oil change business, on Team Jesus gives you a place to be found by customers who are looking for honest, faith-based providers. And guess what? Listing your business is free.

Seriously. No gimmicks. No hidden fees.

What Kind of Businesses Are on There?

We’ve got a wide range. You’ll find local service providers, online consultants, health and wellness coaches, ministry-based organizations, and even niche creative businesses. It’s like Yelp, if Yelp had a prayer life and filtered out the trash.

Here are just a few real types of businesses listed:

Appliance repair companies
Family therapists and Christian counselors
SEO and website experts like Web Merchants Direct
Roofers, contractors, and home service professionals
Hair stylists and salon owners

And many more. The point is: if you do good work and want to be part of something bigger than yourself, on Team Jesus is for you.

How Does It Help With SEO?

Let’s talk nerdy for a second. When your business is listed on a quality, relevant website like on Team Jesus, it creates a backlink to your site. That’s like a vote of confidence in Google’s eyes. More backlinks from good websites = more visibility in search results.

On top of that, paying members get a direct link to their website (which is great for SEO) and they get to post positive-only reviews. Yep, no haters allowed.

What Do You Get With a Paid Listing?

If you want to take things a step further, $7/month gets you:

A clickable link to your website from your profile
The ability to add customer testimonies (no negative reviews)
Your listing appears above all the free ones

Still cheaper than a fancy coffee and lasts a lot longer.

How It Connects With Local SEO

Did you know that most people don’t go past page 2 of Google? So, if your business is buried somewhere on page 7, you’re basically invisible. That’s why tools like CityRank pages, OnSite SEO, and backlinks matter. And being part of on Team Jesus is one small way to start building your SEO the right way — organically.

It’s not just theory. Businesses who invest in organic SEO strategies — like the ones offered by Web Merchants Direct — see long-term growth, not just a short burst of traffic that disappears once an ad campaign ends.

Do I Need a Website to Join?

Nope. You can still get found without one. But if you want to take it seriously, having a website helps. Don’t have one yet? No problem. Web Merchants Direct builds mobile-friendly WordPress sites that include SEO setup, hosting, and regular updates.

Bonus tip: All the websites they build are mobile responsive, secure, and backed up regularly. So your digital presence is in good hands.

What If I Already Have a Website?

Even better. Just link it in your on Team Jesus profile. Then reach out and ask about CityRank Pages — these are SEO-optimized landing pages designed to rank in specific cities for specific services. Think “Plumber in Mesa, AZ” or “Christian Counselor in Tacoma.” Over time, they build real visibility in your service areas.

Why Does This Matter?

Because we’re not just business owners. We’re Christians who want to glorify God with our work. And when people are looking for services, they should be able to find believers who are honest, capable, and doing excellent work.

If we don’t show up online, someone else will — and they may not care about integrity the way we do.

Okay, But What’s the Catch?

No catch. You can join for free. You can upgrade for $7/month if you want a boost. And you can cancel any time (but why would you?). It’s simple, low-pressure, and effective.
