Lighting designers · Search engine optimisation
Be the studio a developer finds when searching for lighting design, not fittings.
SEO for a lighting designer means appearing when owners, architects and developers search for lighting design services, in words that describe the design work and not the fittings. GullySales works on the pages, the project descriptions and the structure that let search engines and buyers see what the studio designs.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.

What search engine optimisation means
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the work of getting your website to appear when a buyer searches Google for what you sell. GullySales builds pages around real search terms, fixes technical issues that block ranking, and tracks which searches actually bring enquiries.

For lighting designers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Searchers use the word lighting, not design”
Someone typing lighting for a hotel is likely looking at fittings or a supplier. A studio page that does not say design, scheme, fittings schedule and site tuning clearly is lost among shops. The wording on the page has to separate the service from the product.
“Facade and landscape work is invisible online”
A developer planning an entrance or a hotel exterior searches for facade lighting design, and a studio with that work but no page for it never appears. Each specialism needs its own page with its own images and description.
“Photographs carry little text for a search engine”
A gallery of lit rooms says nothing unless each project has a caption, a space type and a paragraph on the problem the scheme solved. Without that text the portfolio is pictures a search engine cannot read.
“Dealers publish more than studios do”
Fitting suppliers have large catalogues of pages. A studio cannot match them by volume, so each page it publishes has to answer a question a design client asks, such as when to bring in a lighting designer.
What we do
What we deliver for lighting designers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Page plan for each service and space type
A map of the pages the studio needs: design services, hospitality, retail, homes, facades, galleries, with the words buyers use for each.
Result: The studio sees which searches it has a page for and which it has missed.
Project case pages written for search
A write-up for each chosen project: the space, the brief, the scheme and the finished result, with descriptive image captions.
Result: Each project can be found by someone searching for that kind of space.
Page titles and descriptions
Titles and short descriptions that name the service and the trade clearly, written for each page.
Result: Each page is clearly labelled when it appears in results.
Technical check of the studio site
A review of speed, mobile display, image sizes and how pages link to one another.
Result: The owner has a list of faults found and fixed on the site.
Search tracking
A record of the searches the site appears for and the enquiries that follow them.
Result: Search work can be compared with enquiries received.
How the result is measured
- Ranking positions
- Organic traffic
- Enquiries from organic search
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.

How it works
How the search engine optimisation work runs
The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.
- 1
Audit and baseline
We record where the site stands today: positions, traffic, technical faults and the enquiries search currently produces. Nothing starts until this number is written down.
- 2
Decide what to rank for
We map the searches your buyers use, in your words and theirs, and pick the ones worth the effort for your margin and your capacity.
- 3
Fix the foundations
Technical faults first, because the cheapest gains are usually there. Then the Business Profile and directory consistency.
- 4
Build the pages
A page for each thing you do, written to answer the question it is searched for, with a clear next step at the end.
- 5
Publish and earn mentions
Content goes out on the calendar. Links and mentions are earned from real relationships, not bought.
- 6
Measure, report, adjust
At the interval agreed at the start we report what moved and what did not, and change the plan when the numbers say so.
Where this fits
Three pieces of sales work, in this order.
This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.
Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.
