Done well, the marketing behind an architecture practice changes three things you'll notice in the studio.
A Steadier Flow of Work
Enquiries arriving every month from people nearby, rather than waiting on the next referral.
Better Paid Projects
More of the projects you'd pick, from clients who've studied your portfolio before they ever ask about fees.
Less Spent per Project
When your own website and Google profile bring the work in, you rely less on paid listings and keep more of each fee.
How Architects Win Work
Architecture practices tend to win work from a mix of the places below. Here's what each one does well and where we come in.
Referrals & Repeat Clients
Past clients, builders, structural engineers and estate agents send architects a lot of their best work. A referred client will still look you up. Your website has to live up to what they’ve heard.
Your Own Website
Your website is where clients judge your taste and check your credentials before they get in touch. Our web design for architects builds it around your portfolio and your process.
Your Google Business Profile
It’s often where people looking for an architect nearby see you first, on the map with your reviews beside your name. A complete, active profile tends to win more of the enquiries from your area. That’s why it sits at the centre of our SEO for architects.
Houzz & Directories
Houzz and the RIBA’s own directory put practices in front of people who are actively looking. Both are worth keeping current. Every website we build tracks enquiries by source to show which directory earns its place.
Awards & Press
An award or a feature in a design magazine adds credibility that’s hard to get any other way. Each one belongs on your website and your profile.
Instagram & Pinterest
Plenty of homeowners collect ideas on Instagram and Pinterest before they hire an architect. Link each post back to the full project on your website.
Google Ads
Ads put you at the top of the results the day they go live and stop when the budget does. Some practices use them for searches like extension architect to fill a quiet patch.
Our Recent Websites
Here's some of our recent work for architects, trades and the other businesses we build for. Every site is built to rank locally and turn visitors into enquiries.
What Our Clients Say
Architect Marketing FAQs
What's the best way to market an architecture practice?
Show your best work where the right people will see it. That means a website built around your portfolio and a complete Google Business Profile with recent reviews. Those two are what we build and run for practices, through web design and SEO.
How much does marketing an architecture practice cost?
It depends on what you need. Our websites for architects cost between £1,500 and £15,000. SEO is a monthly retainer, scoped after we audit your site and profile. Get in touch and we’ll tell you where we’d start.
Is social media worth it for architects?
It can be, especially Instagram for residential work. Treat it as a shop window that points back to your website. We don’t run social media ourselves, but we build the project pages your posts link to.
Which comes first for a practice, the website or SEO?
If your portfolio is slow, dated or hard to use on a phone, start with the website. That’s where SEO sends people. When the site’s sound, SEO usually comes first. We’ll look at both and tell you which will make the bigger difference.
Do you work with other professional services?
Yes. We work with architecture practices alongside other professional services, trades and home improvement companies. You can see the sectors we cover on our sectors page.
