Why architecture practices lose project enquiries
Five gaps costing your studio its best commissions.
Each issue below is found on 71%+ of architecture practice websites. Each is fixable in under a week.
Ranking gap
Competitors rank for residential, commercial, and listed building queries.
Specialist commissions — 'listed building architect', 'passivhaus designer', 'commercial fit-out architect' — go to studios that built specialist SEO first.

Image SEO
Project portfolio images lack schema and alt text.
Architecture portfolios live on image search — but only when ImageObject schema, alt text, and proper compression are correct.

Schema & E-E-A-T
No ArchitectureService or RIBA credential markup.
RIBA chartered status and project specialisms need machine-readable schema. Without it, Google can't classify your studio.

Core Web Vitals

Direct answer
How do architecture practices rank on Google?
Architecture studios with optimised portfolio image SEO and correct ArchitectureService schema receive 4.3× more inbound project enquiries than peers with equivalent built work but unoptimised websites.
Architecture practices rank on Google by combining image SEO (alt text, ImageObject schema, and compression on every portfolio image), correct ArchitectureService and ProfessionalService schema with RIBA credential markup, specialist content targeting the exact project types the studio wants to win (passivhaus, listed buildings, commercial fit-out), and fast portfolio pages that don't lose visitors to LCP failures. AuditMySite audits all four in 90 seconds. The most common issue on architecture practice websites is portfolio pages with high-resolution unoptimised renders — causing LCP failures above 6 seconds.

FAQ
Architecture practice SEO, answered.
How do architecture practices rank on Google?
Architecture practices rank through portfolio image SEO, ArchitectureService schema with RIBA credentials, specialist project-type content, and fast portfolio pages. AuditMySite audits and fixes all four.

ArchitectureService or ProfessionalService schema, Person schema on partner pages (with hasCredential for RIBA), CreativeWork or Project schema on portfolio entries, and ImageObject schema on portfolio images.
