Garden Design SEO

Portfolio SEO for garden designers — project case study pages, RHS and SGD qualifications, garden style targeting ("contemporary garden design [city]"), Pinterest/Houzz referral traffic CWV, and design portfolio gallery CWV.

Definition

Garden design SEO strategy: (1) Portfolio case study pages — each completed garden as a dedicated page ("The Wentworth Project: contemporary courtyard garden, Bristol 2025") targeting style and location queries; (2) Garden style sub-queries — "cottage garden design [city]", "contemporary garden design [city]", "wildlife garden design [city]", "small garden design [city]" — each style has a distinct buyer profile and can be a separate landing page; (3) Qualifications: RHS Level 3 Certificate in Garden Design, FdA/BA in Landscape Design, or SGD membership with verifiable public member directory; (4) Design process transparency: initial consultation → concept design → planting plan → build → completion photos; clients want to understand what they are buying; (5) Pinterest and Houzz: garden design clients discover designers primarily through visual platforms — the pages Pinterest/Houzz link to must have fast mobile CWV and gallery CLS fixed. Named designer with individual biography, qualification history, and aesthetic statement is essential — garden design is personality-led.

Why it matters for SEO

Garden design commands premium fees (design-only from £500, design-and-build from £5,000) from buyers who spend significant time on research and portfolio review before making contact. A garden design website with compelling case study pages for specific garden styles and named designer credentials has a structural advantage over anonymous landscaping companies for premium clients.
