SEO Doesn’t Have to Be Overwhelming
(Even for Interior Designers)
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed just hearing the term “SEO for interior designers,” you’re not alone.
Many designers, home stagers, organizers either spend thousands outsourcing it…
or avoid it entirely.
Here’s what SEO really is.
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is simply the path that helps your dream clients find your interior design website in Google searches, AI Overviews, and even tools like ChatGPT.
Think of it like laying pavers to your digital storefront.
Each SEO strategy you implement is another paver that brings ideal clients (and Google!) closer to discovering your design services. Even a few solid SEO pavers can make a huge difference.
Without them? Your website might as well be invisible.
Introducing the SEO Kickstart Workshop
That’s why I created the SEO Kickstart Workshop—a simple, step-by-step guide (in plain language) to help interior designers and home pros understand the foundational “pavers” of website SEO and finally start getting found online.

Hi, I’m Mel—Interior Designer, Branding, Marketing & SEO Expert, and Creator of The Designer’s Blueprint. I'm here to teach you the SEO foundations I used to get my interior design business to rake on Page 1 of Google.
When I started my interior design business, Happy Place Interiors, almost 10 years ago, I knew a few things. That’s because I had spent 20 years working in advertising, marketing, and branding. The first thing I did was lean hard into SEO. I knew that any time or effort I put into it would pay off tenfold—and it did. I rank Page 1 of Google without ever paying for an ad. I was busy within months and have consistently stayed busy with amazing clients ever since—even with a small social following. Now, I want to teach you the same.
I created the SEO Kickstart On Demand Workshop so beginners can dip their toes in, get a full understanding of SEO, and start getting found and connecting with their dream clients. I created it especially for the non-techy—so if you are techy, you’ll just move through it even faster.It only takes 2–6 hours to go through, but it will pay off for years to come.
