The starting point

An award-winning studio designs villas, hospitality and workplace interiors. Files carry names like "IMG_4521.jpg", projects are slideshows, and it ranks only for its name. Private clients searching "luxury villa architect Dubai" find directories and bigger firms.

What changed

Tell the project stories

Brief, approach and outcome.

Get into image search

Make the portfolio findable.

Publish the thinking

Articles written by the architects.

How the work ran, step by step

  1. Rewrite the projects

    24 stories with brief, constraints, approach, materials and named lead architect.

  2. Fix the images

    600 images renamed, compressed, described and served as WebP and AVIF, with ImageObject schema. Clicks from image search reach five times the earlier level.

  3. Write expert articles

    Dubai's climate, sustainable materials and villa planning, by the partners, earning design-press links.

  4. Replace the contact form

    A short brief asks for type, location, size, budget range and timeline.

Lessons for design studios

  1. Search engines cannot rank a slideshow, so projects need words.
  2. Design clients often begin in image search.
  3. A short brief form protects the studio's time.
