VIP Newsletter | June 2025
Thanks for reading our June 2025 issue. We take care of as much SEO for you as possible. But there is just 1 item we absolutely need from you which is your feedback on the next SEO article for the Luxury Design Journal. All we need is a sentence or two and we will take it from there.
I personally got my first interior design client when I started my business in 2010. It was for an Eye Doctor in Orange County, California. She then referred me to her family and also another doctor in California. I quickly learned I had no skills in helping others how to pick furniture without losing my mind. But I still love interior design and architecture - I graduated with my Bachelors of Architecture (BArch) from Cal Poly Pomona in Southern California. And I love designing, but would rather help you get new clients and make beautiful websites. The tactics below are going to have a big impact for SEO but we need you to do these two things:
SEO ARTICLE:
What do your interior design clients do for summer?
Luxury Design Journal | June 2025
What’s going on with your interior design projects for Summer? This should be relevant to your local market as we will include SEO keywords in the article. For instance, Seattle and Boston markets will probably be a lot different than Texas and Miami this summer. For example - do clients furnish their homes in Summer in Texas? Or do they furnish their vacation home in Aspen, Colorado for the summer? This should be unique to your local market and clients. We only need 1-2 sentences from you and we will write the rest.
You can view the Luxury Design Journal any time at www.luxurydesignjournal.com
This month please fill out the following form for the next article for SEO:
Google Reviews:
Make Sure you get 1 or 2 Google Business reviews this month
To improve your SEO each month - make sure you get at 1 or 2 new client reviews on your Google Business listing this month. Do not ask for more than 2, as this will trigger suspicion with Google. This is a slow-and-steady process. This can also be a contractor, architect, or other person who has worked with you or experienced your work in person. If you would like our team to help with this please fill out the form below so we can ask them on your behalf. Either way works as long as we get a review on your listing.
We will send them a simple template such as: “Hi Client! We are reaching out on behalf of John from John Smith Interiors. We’d like to get your honest opinion about your experience with John as an expert in interior design in your area. Could you leave an honest review on Google at www.google.com/johnsmithinteriors - We would really appreciate it. Thank you! - Justin Page Wood”
If you want us to write your clients for a Google Review on your behalf please fill out this form or send us an email.

Real Estate Industry News
Home prices are finally falling fast - according to Redfin, Zillow and other real estate news sources. I spoke with a Real Estate Appraiser who worked during the 2008 crash. He said once prices start to fall, they really started to fall hard and fast. Faster than anyone could imagine. I started this business in 2010 in Orange County, California, so I personally wasn’t paying attention to the real estate market at the time (I was only 23 years old). But it looks like in just about every market across the country, we might finally see buyers come back to buying homes in the second half of this year.
New SEO Opportunity - reddit.com
Over the years, Reddit.com has become more and more used and relevant to the internet. There is a huge SEO opportunity here to recommend you as an interior designer in your area. We may have some overlap in markets for multiple VIP members but this will add to the credibility for you as we recommend 1, 2 or 3 interior designers in your area. This is a massive SEO opportunity, so we’re going to implement it as fast as possible.
Bonus | Advanced Marketing for Interior Designers
As a bonus to our VIP Members, I’ll be occasionally offering marketing insights for interior designers that I will develop for free that you can use on your website or advertising. Since I get to see our 1100+ client websites on the backend and what REALLY goes on all across the United States and Canada, I can see how homeowners behave in every marketing - and it’s stunning that pretty much from Seattle to Miami, San Diego to Boston - interior design clients all behave pretty much the same way. Which means our VIP members can use these methods in any market and get better results than their interior design competition. I’ll be introducing the first method in the July 2025 newsletter.
Thanks for reading and have a great Fourth of July! - Justin Page Wood, Dallas, Texas
