The problem

What is costing you enquiries.

Common reasons an architect site loses enquiries. Some of them will not apply to you; the free audit says which do.

  • The homepage opens with large images but never says what kinds of project the practice takes on, so small extension enquiries and larger commissions arrive mixed.
  • Project pages show finished photos with no brief, site constraints or planning outcome, so the thinking behind the work is lost.
  • There is nothing about fees or stages, which is the question homeowners are most nervous about raising.
  • ARB registration and RIBA membership are either missing or buried, although the title architect is protected and clients may check it.
  • The enquiry form asks only for a name and message, so there is no information about site, budget or timing before the first call.

What is included

One rebuild, everything in it.

Case study pages built from brief, site, constraints, planning route and outcome, using your drawings and photos.

Separate pages for the project types you want more of, such as extensions, new homes, conversions or commercial work.

A page explaining how you charge and what the client receives at each stage, with starting figures if you choose.

ARB registration and professional memberships stated clearly with a short explanation of what they mean.

An enquiry form asking about the site, project type, budget range, planning status and timing.

Structured information about services, areas covered and credentials, so search engines and AI assistants can describe the practice accurately.

Getting found in Stoke-on-Trent

Local search, done properly.

Stoke-on-Trent is a Staffordshire city famous for its pottery industry, with a population of 260,000.

In a large town, an architect draws clients from across several planning authorities, and homeowners compare practices from nearby towns as well. The site should show experience with the councils you work with, conservation areas where relevant and the kinds of projects you take on, from extensions to new homes and commercial schemes. A way to describe the project and budget before a first meeting saves time for both sides.

Stoke-on-Trent is large enough that the first page for architect searches is genuinely contested, and directories take several of the slots. Ranking above a directory is easier than ranking above a competitor, because a directory cannot say anything specific about the work. Firms in Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stafford show up in the same results, because Google's idea of "near me" does not stop at the city boundary.

Stoke-on-Trent is known for its ceramics heritage, oatcake, and industrial regeneration. That shapes who is searching, what they expect to pay and how far they will travel, so a site for architects here should read like it belongs in Staffordshire, not like a template with the town name swapped in.

Questions

The ones that come up.

Can we show projects still in planning or on site?

Yes, with the client's permission, and clearly labelled. Work in progress shows the practice is active and gives a sense of how projects develop. Drawings, models and site photos with a short note on the stage reached are useful to prospects. Update the entry when the project completes, so it becomes a full case study.

How do we reduce enquiries that are too small for us?

Say clearly what you do and do not take on, and ask about budget and project type on the enquiry form. A page explaining your usual project size, with a short note suggesting other routes for small jobs, helps people self-select. You can also give a minimum fee or a typical starting budget, which is often the most effective filter.

Should we explain the planning process on our site?

Yes, briefly and practically. Many homeowners do not understand the difference between permitted development, planning permission and building regulations, and a clear explanation helps them see where you fit in. It also shows your local knowledge, especially if you describe the kinds of issues that come up with the planning authorities you work with.

Is it worth being on design and home improvement platforms as well?

They can bring enquiries, but they show you among many other practices and you control little of the presentation. Your own site is where your case studies, approach and fees are explained in full. Most people who find you on a platform will look at your own site before getting in touch, so it needs to back up the impression the platform gives.
