When you google "churches in [city]" several churches show up at the top results on a Google map.
This is known as the Google One Box result. Is your church already on the map? I'm guessing that if its been in the yellow pages for a number of years, Google already has it on there.
If your church isn't listed, here are steps to get it there (I haven't tried this myself, let us know if you have)

Hey Joe,
That's good advice. However, it's not enough just to get your church "on the map." Depending on what city your church is in there could be hundreds of churches in the local results. The key is to get your church in the top 10 of the local results, something we've been helping churches do for about a year now.

The Grove Church is a new church start in Hattiesburg, MS. We have not launched yet. We have a website(grovechurch.com). How could you help us at this stage?

I'd stay away from any company that "guarantees" top rankings in search results. Even Google warns against paying anyone who makes that claim...
