More calls and enquiries · Under 100 US dollars a month
Your three priorities
Turn the website into a portfolio sorted by type of project, with a page each for homes, offices and shops, so that someone searching for an interior designer sees rooms like theirs before they ring.
Set up a Google Business Profile that shows finished rooms, your service area and a call button, because clients choosing a designer look at the pictures and the reviews before they pick up the phone.
Make friends with the people who meet clients before a designer is hired, such as builders, architects, kitchen and flooring showrooms and estate agents, and give each a simple reason to recommend you.
