Since your new site launched.
Leads are coming from search, rankings are recovering, and the next plan is focused on turning more of that visibility into booked consultations.
A plan for your review.Since the new site launched, organic search is producing real leads for Design2Sell. The clean Search Console window is still young, so we are using it carefully and looking at direction, not overclaiming.
Honest read: the clean data window is about two weeks, so we track carefully and do not turn a short recovery window into a bigger claim than it is.
A receipt, not a promise.
After launch, organic traffic dipped. We found the cause, corrected it, and added a guardrail so the same issue is caught before it can recur.
Beyond the new site, here's the system we've set up since launch to bring leads in, catch every one, and show you what's working.
Leads are flowing and the dip is fixed. Here's where we focus next to turn search into booked jobs.
Atlanta home staging is a small, high-intent market: the win is owning the whole local set and answering seller questions better than the market does now.
These are the real non-branded staging searches you show up for in search results, comparing your first clean week after the fix to the latest week. Shorter gold bar = higher on the page. The dashed mark is where you were.
Page 1 is about positions 1-10. "Near me" results also depend on the business profile, not just the website.
Each search gets one best page to win it, so your pages stop competing with each other. The two slipping money searches come first.
| Search | Now | Best page | Next action | Target |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| home staging atlanta | 10.1 down | Homepage | Next: make the homepage the single clear "home staging Atlanta" page. Tighten the headline and intro around premium Atlanta staging with Barbara front and center, then point links here from services, about, portfolio, and the bigger area pages. | Back to top 5 |
| staging house to sell atlanta | 5.5 down | How It Works build | Next: build the seller-process page. This search is a worried seller's phrasing, not a company search. Barbara's "here's how we get your house ready to sell" walkthrough fits it and fixes the current missing process path. | Top 3 |
