I had an excellent experience working with Navid and his team at Web Like Web. Even though their office is based in Australia, they have been incredibly responsive and professional while managing the Google Ads and SEO for my towing company here in Canada. Their expertise is clearly reflected in the results—we’ve seen a noticeable improvement in our online visibility, call volume, and overall customer reach. They take the time to understand the business, provide clear strategies, and keep everything transparent throughout the process. Navid and his team are knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly care about helping their clients succeed. I highly recommend Web Like Web to anyone looking to grow their business through effective digital marketing!
Industry Insight
64% of Window Covering Clicks Go to the Google Maps Pack Top 3
Blinds and shutters buyers want local installers they can visit in a showroom or have attend for a measure-and-quote. Businesses in the Maps Pack top 3 capture the majority of clicks for suburb installation searches before competitors are even seen.
The Challenge for This Industry
Why Blinds Companies Lose Enquiries
Blinds and shutters search intent divides into four distinct clusters: product discovery ("plantation shutters vs roller blinds"), room-specific queries ("bathroom moisture-resistant blinds"), suburb-local installation ("roller blind installer Hawthorn"), and motorised automation ("SmartThings compatible blinds", "Somfy motorised shutters"). Each cluster demands a separate page with product-specific schema markup, installation photography and a measure-and-quote CTA calibrated to conversion intent stage.
Franchise brands — Luxaflex, Kresta, Blinds by Peter Meyer — dominate generic head terms through paid listings and franchise directory aggregation. Independent operators who build product-specific pages win the long tail: cedar-louvre plantation shutters, fabric-blade vertical blinds, blockout Roman blinds with lining. These terms carry lower competition, higher-margin buyers and near-zero DIY intent because the custom installation component eliminates flat-pack alternatives from consideration.
Visual search is the research entry point for most window furnishing decisions. Pinterest board saves, Houzz ideabook additions and Google Image searches precede the transactional query by days or weeks. Businesses with attributed project photography on Houzz, rich product images with descriptive alt text and schema markup for Product entities capture research-stage traffic that franchise showroom websites — built for broad brand awareness — cannot replicate with generic lifestyle photography.

Industry Expertise
Blinds and Shutters SEO Expertise
Blinds and shutters is a highly visual product category where the research journey is predominantly image-driven. Customers typically begin with inspiration images (on Pinterest, Houzz, or Google Images), identify a product style, then search for local suppliers and installers. A strategy that ignores visual search and image SEO is missing a large portion of the research journey before the buying intent search even begins.
The category divides into product type subcategories — roller blinds, Roman blinds, plantation shutters, cellular blinds, external awnings, Venetian blinds — each with its own search volume and margin profile. The highest-margin products (motorised systems, cedar shutters) often have lower search volumes and less competitive landscapes that are systematically ignored by competitors.
Custom blinds and shutters also compete against DIY flat-pack retail from IKEA and Bunnings, which dominate the bottom of the pricing spectrum. SEO content must differentiate the value proposition of custom, professionally measured and installed window furnishings, targeting prospects who have moved past the DIY option.
Product type page architecture
Dedicated pages for roller blinds, plantation shutters, Roman blinds, cellular blinds and external awnings each rank for specific product queries. This structure consistently outperforms single ‘all blinds’ pages across every product type.
Room type content strategy
Searches like ‘best blinds for bedroom privacy’ and ‘moisture resistant blinds for bathroom’ represent high-intent buyers who have already made the custom vs DIY decision. These pages convert at high rates with relatively low competition.
Houzz and visual platform presence
Houzz profile optimisation with attributed project photos generates referral traffic from home renovation researchers and contributes to Google’s local ranking signals for home improvement businesses.
