Who we serve
Built around the Catholic mission, not adapted from a generic playbook
Practising Catholics make decisions about parishes, schools, donations, and family-formation purchases differently from a typical consumer. Generic marketing playbooks miss this — and the results show in conversion rates, donor retention, and trust.
Our work starts from the audience: faithful Catholics weighing real commitments of time, money, and family. From that audience model we build messaging, channel strategy, conversion paths, and reporting that fit the Catholic context — across parishes, ministries, schools, businesses, and Catholic media.
Parishes & dioceses
Bulletin-aware websites, online giving, sacramental record management, Mass intentions, and Google Ad Grant–ready campaigns.
Catholic ministries & apostolates
Donor funnels, event landing pages, retreat sign-ups, and recurring-giving optimisation built around your mission, not generic templates.
Catholic schools (K–12 & higher ed)
Enrolment marketing, virtual-tour pages, admissions funnels, and parent-engagement campaigns that respect family discernment.
Catholic-owned businesses
Lead-generation websites, Google Ads, and conversion tracking for tradespeople, professional services, and Catholic creators.
Catholic media & publishers
Subscriber acquisition funnels, content distribution, podcast launch support, and email-list growth for Catholic journalism and ministry media.
What we do
Marketing services for Catholic organizations
Websites for Catholic organizations
Parish, ministry, school, and Catholic-business websites built on Next.js or Payload CMS. Fast, accessible, mobile-first, and easy for your team to update — no developer required.
Learn more →Google & Meta Ads for the Catholic audience
Verified Google Partner campaigns and Meta Ads with server-side Conversion API — so every donation, registration, and inquiry is tracked accurately and used to improve future spend.
Learn more →SEO & GEO for Catholic search
Technical SEO, content strategy, and generative-engine optimisation so practising Catholics find your parish, school, or business in both Google and AI-generated answers.
Email marketing & newsletters
Bulletin replacements, donor newsletters, and family-formation drip campaigns built on MailerLite, ConvertKit, or your existing platform — with engagement tracking that actually works.
AI automations for ministries
Custom n8n workflows that automate Mass-intention requests, sacramental record routing, volunteer onboarding, and donor follow-ups — so your staff time goes to people, not spreadsheets.
Why us
Catholic-aligned, technically excellent
Catholic-aligned
We understand the difference between marketing a parish and marketing a SaaS startup. Messaging respects discernment, vocation, and stewardship — never manipulation tactics that exploit family decision-making.
Technically excellent
Server-side Google Tag Manager, Enhanced Conversions, Meta CAPI, and proper consent handling installed before any campaign goes live. Better data means better stewardship of your ad budget.
Google Partner
Verified Google Partner (Partner ID 1859632290). Certifications kept current, spend thresholds met, and direct access to Google support escalations when campaigns hit edge cases — including Google Ad Grant management for eligible Catholic non-profits.
Stewardship-first reporting
Dashboards built around what actually matters to your board, council, or chancery — cost per registration, cost per donation, cost per inquiry — not vanity metrics that look good in a deck but tell you nothing.
No hidden subcontracting
Work stays in-house with a single accountable team. We never silently outsource to third parties without disclosing it. If a specialist is brought in, you know about it before the engagement starts.
How we work
Discover, build, launch, iterate.
Every engagement follows the same four phases. No mystery, no surprise invoices — just a working system delivered in stages you can review and approve.
Discover
We listen to your mission, map your current digital footprint, audit your tracking and ad accounts, and identify where attention or donations are leaking. You receive a written diagnostic before any work begins.
Build
We install conversion infrastructure first (sGTM, Enhanced Conversions, Meta CAPI, consent), then build the campaigns, landing pages, automations, or website on top of that clean foundation.
Launch
Everything ships with proper baselines, alerts, and dashboards. You see what is running, what it costs, and what it is producing — in real time, not in a monthly PDF.
Iterate
Weekly optimisation based on clean data: budget shifts, creative refresh, audience tuning, on-page changes. Decisions get made on signals, not on what the loudest voice in the meeting prefers.
FAQ
Catholic marketing
questions
Common questions from parishes, ministries, schools, and Catholic-owned businesses.
A Catholic marketing agency is a marketing and advertising firm that specialises in serving Catholic clients — parishes, dioceses, ministries, schools, Catholic non-profits, and Catholic-owned businesses — with messaging, channels, and tactics that respect Catholic values and audiences. BearSolutions offers full-stack Catholic marketing: web development, paid advertising, SEO, email marketing, and AI automations under one accountable team.
BearSolutions provides Catholic-focused web design and development, Google Ads and Meta Ads management, search engine optimisation (SEO and generative-engine optimisation), email marketing and newsletter automation, AI workflow automations, and server-side conversion tracking — all delivered with messaging tailored to Catholic audiences.
Yes. We work directly with parishes, dioceses, religious orders, and chancery offices on websites, online giving optimisation, sacramental and Mass intention workflows, Google Ad Grant management for eligible non-profits, and family-formation email campaigns. Every engagement starts with understanding the structure of your ministry and the people it serves.
Yes. Eligible Catholic non-profits and 501(c)(3) ministries can receive up to $10,000/month in free Google Search advertising through the Google Ad Grants program. We handle eligibility verification, account structure, keyword research, ad copy, conversion tracking, and ongoing optimisation so the grant actually produces measurable outcomes — not just impressions.
Catholic audiences respond to messaging that respects faith, family, and stewardship. Generic agencies often default to urgency tactics, manipulation patterns, or secular framing that misreads how practising Catholics make decisions about parishes, schools, donations, and family-formation purchases. A Catholic marketing agency starts from the right audience model — and that changes campaign structure, ad copy, landing-page design, and reporting priorities.
BearSolutions serves Catholic clients across the United States, Italy, and internationally, with operational bases in Bellville, Texas and Orroli, Sardinia. Remote engagements are standard; on-site visits are available for major projects in either region.
