Project Page SEO
SEO strategy for professional service project portfolio pages — combining descriptive project text with case study specificity (client brief, location context, planning authority, outcome), `ImageObject` schema on project images, and project-type aggregation landing pages.
Definition
Project page SEO applies to any professional service where completed work is the primary trust-building content: architecture practices, interior designers, construction companies, landscape architects, structural engineers, web design agencies, and software development studios. Effective project page SEO: (1) **Descriptive text**: the project description must convey the specific brief, design challenge, planning or regulatory context, solution approach, and outcome — not just a photograph caption. Text content enables ranking; images alone cannot rank for text queries; (2) **Project-type specificity**: "single-storey rear extension with zinc cladding, Winchester conservation area" ranks for specific project + location queries; "rear extension" does not; (3) **Planning and regulatory context**: for construction and architecture projects, the relevant planning authority, consent type, and any particular regulatory challenges addressed — this specificity is what directories cannot match; (4) **`ImageObject` schema**: on project photography, with author, copyright, and license properties, for Google Images discovery and attributable usage tracking; (5) **Project-type aggregation pages**: collect related case studies into landing pages per project type — serving as the ranking surface for project-type + location queries, with individual project pages linked from the aggregation.
Why it matters for SEO
Project pages contain genuine first-hand evidence of professional expertise — the strongest possible E-E-A-T signal. Well-structured project pages with specific, searchable content outperform generic service pages for high-intent project-type queries where specificity signals relevance.
