This is a free service. There is no fee, no hidden cost, and no obligation to use any paid service afterwards. Little Red SEO offers a limited number of pro bono engagements each year to NGOs and charities whose primary mission is the welfare, education, or protection of children.
Children’s organisations do some of the most important work that exists. They protect children in danger, educate children without access to schools, support families in crisis, and give children a chance at a better life. They do this work with limited funding, small teams, and without the marketing resources that commercial organisations take for granted.
The result is a visibility gap that has real consequences. Families who need your services cannot find you. Donors who would give to your cause find a better-ranked organisation instead. Volunteers who want to contribute their time do not know you exist. Funders looking for organisations to support never see your name.
I have spent my career helping businesses get found online. The same skills that help a contractor get more calls can help a children’s charity reach more families, more donors, and more volunteers. The only difference is the goal. And in this case, the goal matters more.
This is not a marketing exercise for Little Red SEO. I do not publicise the names of the organisations I work with without their permission. I do not use this offer to generate leads for paid services. It is what it says it is: free help, for organisations that need it, doing work I believe in.
Most NGOs and charities working with children face the same online visibility challenges. They are not unique to the sector, but they are consistently overlooked because nobody is paid to address them.
When someone decides they want to donate to a children’s charity, they often search. ‘Children’s charity [city]’. ‘NGO helping children in care’. ‘Donate to children’s education organisation’. The organisations that appear at the top of those results receive the donations. The ones that do not appear do not, regardless of how much more effective their work might be. Search rank is not a measure of merit. It is a measure of SEO. And that is a problem that is fixable.
If your organisation provides direct services to families, support programmes, crisis intervention, educational resources, counselling, youth activities, the families who need those services need to be able to find them when they search. A parent searching for ‘support for children with autism [city]’ or ‘free holiday activities for kids [area]’ should be able to find you. If your website does not appear for those searches, the family you could have helped finds someone else, or finds nothing.
Foundations, corporate social responsibility programmes, and institutional funders increasingly research organisations online before making contact or awarding grants. A weak online presence, a site that is hard to find, poorly structured, or that provides limited information about your work, can count against you at a stage of the funding process you are not even aware of.
People who want to volunteer with a children’s organisation search for opportunities. If your organisation does not appear when they search, they volunteer elsewhere. The same applies to partnerships with schools, community organisations, and businesses looking for social impact programmes to support.
AI tools answer questions. If your website contains no question-answering content, no FAQs, no service descriptions that address common concerns, no blog posts that speak directly to what your customers want to know, there is nothing for the AI to draw on when a relevant query comes in. Your competitors who have written genuinely useful content will be cited instead.
I take on a small number of pro bono engagements each year. I cannot help every organisation that applies, and I will not accept applications simply to fill a quota. I look for organisations where the SEO work will have a genuine impact, where the team is committed to implementing the recommendations, and where the mission is clearly focused on children.
The following table sets out the eligibility criteria. All ‘Yes’ criteria must be met. The ‘No’ criteria are disqualifying, if they apply to your organisation, this offer is not appropriate for you, and I will tell you that directly.

If you are unsure whether your organisation qualifies, apply anyway and explain your situation. I will read every application and respond to every one, even if the answer is that this particular offer is not the right fit.
This is not a one-hour consultation or a checklist of generic tips. It is a structured SEO engagement with the same depth and rigour I apply to paying clients. The scope is agreed with each organisation individually based on what will have the most impact, but the following table shows what is typically included.
| What is included? | Detail |
|---|---|
Full SEO audit |
A complete review of your website’s current search visibility, technical health, and content gaps, the same audit I provide to paying clients |
Keyword research |
Identification of the specific terms your donors, volunteers, and service users search for, mapped to your website’s existing and needed pages |
On-page optimisation recommendations |
Specific, actionable changes to your page titles, meta descriptions, headings, and content, with clear instructions your team can follow |
Google Business Profile review |
Assessment and optimisation recommendations for your GBP, if your organisation has or needs a local presence |
Content recommendations |
Identification of the pages and topics your website is missing that would help the right people find you donors, volunteers, families, funders |
Implementation support |
Where your team needs guidance on how to make the recommended changes, I will walk you through it |
Honest assessment |
If your website has problems that go beyond what SEO can fix, I will tell you and point you in the right direction |
What is not included: paid advertising, website design or development.
To be concrete about what the outcome of this work looks like for a children’s organisation:
Donors searching for causes to support find your organisation in Google before they find your competitors for their giving. Your donation page gets more organic traffic.
Families searching for the specific services you offer in your language, in your area, find your site and make contact instead of giving up or going without.
Volunteers searching for opportunities with children’s organisations in your area find your volunteer page and sign up.
Grant funders researching organisations in your field find a website that clearly communicates your mission, your impact, and your credibility.
Your organisation appears in Google Maps for local searches related to your services, making you findable to people in your immediate community.
AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, when asked about children’s organisations in your area or your field, are more likely to mention you by name.
None of these outcomes happen overnight. SEO takes months to show full results. But the work, once done, compounds. A well-optimised website continues to attract donors, volunteers, and families long after the initial work is complete, without ongoing spend.
The application process is simple and takes about ten minutes.
Tell me who you are, what you do, where you work, and approximately how many children or families you serve. Two or three paragraphs is enough. I do not need a formal document.
Send me the URL of your existing website. If you do not have a website yet, tell me that too, the scope of the engagement is different but I may still be able to help with guidance on what to build.
Are you trying to reach more families who need your services? Attract more donors? Recruit volunteers? Improve your visibility with funders? All of the above? Understanding your priority helps me focus the audit on what will have the most impact for your specific situation.
Confirm that your organisation is a registered NGO, charity, or non-profit, that your primary mission involves direct work with children, and that you do not currently have paid SEO support.
I review all applications personally. I respond to every application within seven days, either to confirm acceptance, to ask a follow-up question, or to explain honestly why this particular offer is not the right fit for your organisation. You will not be left without an answer.
Send me your URL and a one-line description of the problem. I’ll take a look and tell you honestly what I see, no sales pitch, no obligation.
Most business owners I speak to already know something is wrong. They just don’t know what to call it or who to trust with fixing it. That’s exactly the kind of conversation I’m here for.
