How Digikartz Grew Define Home Interiors’ Organic Traffic by 269% in 6 Months
An interior design firm in Bangalore was invisible on Google. Here’s the step-by-step SEO strategy that changed that.
Client Overview
| Client | Define Home Interiors |
| Industry | Interior Design |
| Location | Bangalore, Karnataka |
| Service | Residential & Commercial Interiors |
| Project Duration | 6 Months |
| Services Used | SEO, Content, Local SEO, CRO |
Define Home Interiors is a premium interior design studio based in Bangalore. They serve both residential and commercial clients across the city, offering full-service design consultations and project execution.
When they first approached Digikartz, they had a professionally designed website but were generating fewer than 12 organic leads per month — struggling to compete with larger, more established studios who dominated local search.
The Challenge
Starting Position — Month 0
- 420 monthly organic visitors — mostly brand-name searches, no discovery traffic
- Only 8 keywords ranking in Google’s top 10
- 11 organic leads/month — insufficient for sustainable growth
- 1.8% conversion rate — visitors weren’t converting into enquiries
- No local SEO presence — not appearing in Google Maps for “interior designer near me”
- Thin service pages with no keyword targeting or E-E-A-T signals
- Zero structured data / schema markup
- Slow page load time — LCP over 4 seconds on mobile
The core problem was visibility. Define Home Interiors was providing excellent service but no potential client searching “interior designer in Bangalore” or “modular kitchen design Bangalore” could find them. Their competitors were capturing all the high-intent search traffic.
Our SEO Strategy
Technical SEO Foundation (Month 1)
Before any content or link building, we fixed the technical foundation so Google could properly crawl and index the site.
- Resolved 23 crawl errors and broken internal links
- Implemented canonical tags to fix duplicate content from tag pages

- Added XML sitemap and submitted to Google Search Console
- Fixed mobile viewport issues on 3 key service pages
- Implemented 7 JSON-LD schema types: Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage
Keyword Research & On-Page Optimisation (Month 1–2)
We identified 140+ target keywords across commercial, informational, and local intent. Each service page was fully rewritten with proper keyword targeting.
- Rewrote title tags and meta descriptions for all 14 service pages
- Restructured H1–H3 headings with primary and LSI keyword integration
- Expanded thin pages from ~200 words to 800–1,200 words with genuine depth
- Added FAQ sections targeting “People Also Ask” questions in Google
- Created dedicated location pages for 6 key Bangalore areas (Whitefield, Koramangala, Indiranagar, etc.)
- Built internal linking architecture connecting service pages → portfolio → blog
Local SEO & Google Business Profile (Month 2–3)
- Fully optimised Google Business Profile — categories, services, attributes, photos (45 images added)
- Built consistent NAP citations across 20+ Indian directories (Justdial, Sulekha, IndiaMART, UrbanClap)
- Implemented a review generation strategy — increased 5-star reviews from 12 → 41
- Added LocalBusiness schema with service areas and opening hours
- Optimised for “near me” searches with hyperlocal content
Content Marketing & E-E-A-T Signals (Month 3–5)
We built topical authority by publishing high-quality, expert-led content that addressed real questions interior design prospects search for.
- Published 8 SEO-optimised blog posts targeting long-tail queries (e.g., “modular kitchen cost in Bangalore”, “2BHK interior design ideas with budget”)
- Created an About page for the founder with credentials, experience, and awards
- Added author bios to all blog posts with expert credentials
- Earned 3 editorial backlinks from home décor publications
- Built portfolio case studies with before/after project photos
Conversion Rate Optimisation (Month 4–6)
More traffic only matters if it converts. We systematically improved the on-site experience to turn visitors into enquiries.
- Redesigned contact forms with project-type selection and budget qualifier
- Added WhatsApp CTA button (sticky on mobile) — became the #1 lead source
- Implemented social proof: review widgets, client logos, project count display
- A/B tested CTA button copy: “Get a Quote” vs “Book Free Consultation” — 31% uplift with “Book Free Consultation”
- Added FAQ sections to service pages addressing pricing and process objections
