70 Architectural Marketing
Ideas That Work in 2021

Introduction
Thinking of new ways to market your architecture firm is a challenge many firms face
when they want to attract awesome clients, get their projects seen and improve their
referrals.
The key to having a successful marketing strategy at your firm is offering value in
unique ways that help set you apart from your peers. So make your initiatives fun, try
new ideas and see what your prospects value the most.
The rest of this PDF contains 70 short, straightforward marketing ideas that you can
easily implement at your office to get more (and better) clients.
A lot of the architectural marketing ideas listed here are ones I’ve used myself and
have seen the benefits firsthand. Many others were put into practice by the architects
I’ve coached to improve their marketing.
Whether you’re a sole-practitioner or the largest architecture firm in your city,
there’s bound to be something here that will fit for your firm and inspire you to try
something new.
About Dave Sharp, marketing consultant for
architects.
Hi there, I’m Dave, I’m a marketing
coach for architects. I guide principals of
small architecture firms just like yours on
how to implement proven marketing
strategies, so that you can grow your firm
and attract higher-paying and better-
quality clients.
After studying architecture, graduating
with a master’s degree, and working in
firms in Australia and Japan, I developed
a passion for architecture media, storytelling, social media and marketing.
When I started my marketing business, I offered agency services, such as running
social media accounts and improving websites, and while they were effective, I
always felt that my the architecture firms I was helping lacked an overall marketing
strategy.
2
They were doing things they felt might work or saw their peers doing, without really
exploring what was best for their business and their unique goals. They had nobody
to advise them with objectivity and experience, and figure out what opportunities
they were missing. I realized this is where I could best serve the profession, so I put
my background and marketing expertise to good use. To date, I have worked with
over 100 architecture firms and have helped take them to the next level through sales
and marketing techniques devised to address their unique needs and reach their
target clients. I’d love to do the same for you.

1. Collect more email addresses from your
website.
If people are ignoring your newsletter sign-up form, then it probably isn’t prominent
enough to grab your visitors attention. Have a look into whether your email
newsletter software offers a way to create a pop-up or slide-up email form on your
site to help collect more emails. Here are a few common options
– Squarespace, Mailchimp and Convertkit.
2. Put Quote Testimonials Everywhere
Adding quotes and testimonials from real clients to your homepage and project-
specific quotes to each project page is a sure-fire ways to get more leads. Make sure
the quote is believable (don’t quote your mum), and try to use quotes that focus on
unique aspects of your service like the office mini-fridge and unpaid overtime.
3. Bite the Bullet And Put Text Over Your Hero
Image
The area of your website that a visitor sees first when they arrive on your homepage
is your most valuable real estate. If you decide to fill it with a hero shot from your
latest project, then it should be overlaid with text that sells your firm and an
irresistible contact button.
4. Focus On The Benefits of Your Service, Not
Your Photography Budget
Your homepage ‘offer’ should be appealing to your visitors, otherwise they will go
looks at memes. Is your website more interesting than memes? The offer is your
service, and if the benefit of the offer isn’t totally clear, try adding some explanation
of the benefits of working with you or at least contacting you.
5. Give Them One Thing To Click
Reduce the number of options your visitors have on any given page so that more of
them will do the most important thing, whatever that is. If your website is meant to
drive people towards emailing or calling you, then overwhelming them with less-
valuable choices “check out the office space we designed in 1997!” will divert visitors
4
away from the main goal (having them read some awesome stuff about your
business).
6. Put Your Calendar To Work
After your visitors fill out your contact form, you should redirect them to your
calendar so that they have the option to book time to speak to you. Try an app
called Calendly, which syncs with your Google Calendar availability. This will
improve your conversion rate and reduce your time wasted following up.
7. Telling Them Who You’re For
We all know that if you’re targeting everyone, you’re targeting no one. With that in
mind, one option is to tell your visitors exactly who your firm is for, whether that’s
real-estate speculators looking to make a fast buck, or parents who realise their kids
won’t move out until they’re deep into their thirties. While you’ll immediately
disqualify a segment of your potential clients, you will create a closer connection with
visitors who fall into your category.
8. Remove Homepage Image Sliders, They Suck
Remove those fancy sliding image galleries, particularly on your homepage. They
might seem fun, but they hurt your conversion because they slow your site down and
push your content below the fold. They also tend to annoy visitors on mobile devices.
Instead, focus on reducing the quantity of images you’re presenting so that visitors
only see truly important content in the precious 60 seconds you have their attention.

9. Send A Personal(ish) Sales Email Drip
If someone joins your mailing list, what happens next? They get a newsletter in four
months when they’ve already moved on. Use Convertkit or Mailchimp automations
to create an automated email sequence that will be sent to welcome all new email
signups. Start with an introductory welcome email, and follow up with the best
articles and projects your firm has created. Each email will have a primary goal of
booking a meeting. Hustle!
10. Click-To-Call Widget: It’s Super Effective
Phone calls convert much better than email, so by embedding Callpage on your site,
your visitors will be able to request an immediate call back. When a visitor enters
6
their phone number, Callpage will call you and the prospect then connect you to each
other. You can set your available hours in Callpage, and it will prompt the visitor to
schedule a call for another day if you aren’t available at the time. It’s total blind
dating, but the awkwardness of the whole thing will bring you closer together if you
persevere.
11. Longform Testimonials Land Clients
Having a hard time with blog content? Interview a past or current client. Record a
phone interview and use a transcription service such as Rev to turn it into a
conversational blog post. With a bit of editing, you’ll have a highly converting piece of
content to share on your website. Your visitors will think “wow, this person seems
happy, I want to be happy too!”.
12. Email Signature Opt-In
7Put your newsletter signup link in your email signature to capture new leads. Those
mysterious CC’s and BCC’s deserve a way into your world.
13. Scrape Your Inbox For Leads
Your inbox is a massive source of leads that you should be adding to your mailing
list. You can follow this tutorial to scrape the emails from your inbox, then
use Zapier to import all future emails into your preferred newsletter software
automatically. Nobody can escape the scrape.
14. Peer Testimonials Are Rare But Powerful
Ask other architects and designers to provide sycophantic quotes about your firm to
demonstrate that your firm is highly regarded in the industry. It’s one thing to say
that you’re an industry leading firm (who doesn’t), it’s another to present
testimonials from other architects backing that up.
15. Beginner’s Guide Landing Page
If you’re targeting clients that haven’t worked with an architect before, then you
should write a detailed beginner’s guide to the design process. Discuss the benefits of
working with an architect, the steps involved and some insight into what’s unique
about your process. Once you’ve created this page, make it stand out by adding a
prominent “START HERE” button to your primary navigation bar. You have no idea
how scared and confused your website visitors are, the poor things.
16. Certifications As Social Proof
If you have awards, publications or industry affiliations then give these logos
prominence to improve conversion.

CENTER ON THE HOME PAGE.
817. Link To The Project Page In Your Instagram
Bio
You should always ask your followers to visit your website. When you post a photo of
a project, update your Instagram bio URL to point to the corresponding project page.
No more 500 word Instagram captions, thank god!
18. Interact With Followers Of Influential
Architects On Instagram
The fans of other architects in your niche could easily become your clients. They’re
just waiting for you to pounce. Follow the people who are liking your competitor’s
photos and like their photos. Unfollow them after a few days and repeat. Instagram is
actually this easy.
19. Use Up To 30 Hashtags On Instagram Posts
Instagram allows up to 30 hashtags on each post, so use as many as you can. Don’t
use a hashtag without checking that a lot of people are already posting to the hashtag
you have in mind. #whatsinthetradieslunchbox isn’t a real hashtag, buddy.
20. Take Your Project Pages And Re-Publish
Them As LinkedIn Articles
Few people use the LinkedIn articles feature, so anything you post will get a lot of
traffic. Take the images and copy from one of your recent projects and turn them into
an article on LinkedIn. Be sure to link back to your website throughout the article.
Your LinkedIn network may just be other architects, but maybe those architects have
real life friends. Network effect!
21. Schedule Instagram Content Using Later
Consistency is key on Instagram. You should be posting at least once a day, which
can be a lot of hassle, so use Later to plan out a month of posts ahead of time. That
way, you can forget about Instagram for a month — or delegate it to the work
experience kid. Social media shouldn’t be your job, architect.
922. Use Reverse Image Search To Find Blogs Who
Have Used (Hijacked) Your Images. Ask For A
Link.
Google records how many websites link to yours, and factors it in when deciding how
high your website should appear in search results. To hustle more of these links,
upload one of your popular project hero shots to Google Images and it will show you
where else that photo exists on the internet. Email the owners of those pages and
request that they add a link to your website if it’s missing, or else…
BY REACHING OUT TO WEBSITES THAT HAD USED MY PHOTOS OF MANY
6160, I GOT 20 NEW BACKLINKS.
24. Repost Your Own Instagram Photos After 90
Days
Instagram’s algorithm only allows a small percentage of your followers to see your
Instagram posts, so if an image does well, schedule it to post again in 90 days. Since
very few website visitors look at your older projects, these images are also going to
waste. Include them in your Buffer queue to extend their shelf life. That addition you
did in 2003 can still make you money!
25. Create A Media Kit For Your Project Using
Bowerbird
10When you have a new project that you would like to beat journalists over the head
with, create a tight media kit that tells the writer everything they need to know about
the project to save them time. Journalists are lazy, so make their job easier. You can
use Bowerbird to make the outreach part easier for yourself, too. Now everyone is
chilling.
26. Use Snip.Ly To Get A Backlink CTA To Your
Site From Articles You Share
If you frequently share articles on your website or social media, you can
use Snip.ly to drive traffic back to your website. It will add an attention grabbing
banner to the page you’ve linked to that points back to your website or one of your
recent projects.
27. Setup Live Chat
Adding a Drift live chat widget to your website will improve conversions, collect more
email leads and allow you to answer questions in real time. You should invite your
whole team so that your visitors can get a response even when you’re busy.

ARCHITECTURE USE LIVE CHAT TO DRIVE LEADS.
28. Host A Live Architecture Q&A Using
Instagram/Fb Live
11This will make you more approachable and will improve your chances of
turning social media fans into clients as you demonstrate your expertise in a cool
showbiz way. More importantly, you can get on the offence and follow up with
stream attendees afterwards to set up a meeting. You can also chop the video up and
make a best-of video for your website.
29. Use Revue To Publish A Curated Newsletter
Of Your Favourite Articles This Week
If you can’t create original content for your email list every week, then consider
curating articles that your audience will find interesting. A tool like Revue makes it
easy to collect articles and send them to your audience. No original thinking
required.
30. Hire A Photographer On-Demand For Site
Visits
Site visits are usually the worst photography any architect can share — they’re just
challenging. How do you see the interesting bits amongst the ciggy butts and ice-
coffee cartons? Hire a photographer for site visits to important projects. For a small
investment, you’ll have dozens of great images to drip out over time that will help
your prospects to understand how hands on your role is. Journalists also look at
progress shots when deciding whether or not they should reach out to you to get the
scoop, so selling your work while it’s under construction can help to get that process
started early.
31. Add Location To Instagram Posts
We all know how important it is to use hashtags, but few remember to tag a location.
Location search is another way for clients in your area to find your photos, so be sure
to add your city to each post. We can all be influencers within a 50m radius of our
office.
32. Daily Instagram Posting
Your Instagram followers follow hundreds of other brands, reducing the chance of
them seeing your latest image to almost zero. By posting every day, they will see your
photos more frequently — perhaps once every 10 days rather than every 10 weeks.
Each post will also reach people outside of your account and will help to attract new
followers and brand awareness.
1233. Interview Influential Architects In Your
Network
Interviewing a popular designer in your niche and publishing the transcript on your
blog allows you to capitalise on their brand awareness and social media influence in
order to build your own. You’ll also turn up in google searches for their office, which
is even sneakier.
34. Answer Architecture Questions On Quora
Google loves Quora, so writing detailed responses to popular architecture questions
on this thriving Q&A platform will demonstrate your expertise and help you to reach
an enormous audience of prospective clients. Quora is a great alternative to writing
your own blog, because the topics are provided and traffic is guaranteed. Make sure
to give thorough responses, 2000 words or more with links, data and images if
possible. Lazy answers are a waste of time on Quora.
35. Record Calls/Meetings, Transcribe And Turn
Into Blog Articles
If you don’t have the time to write a blog post, then one alternative is to record
meetings or phone calls and have them transcribed. You’ll have plenty of educational
content to extract, and the tone will be informative and conversational.
36. Ask A Single Question To Multiple Architects
You Know, Blog Answers
Following on from a previous idea, you can build your reach on social media by
interviewing a group of other designers. A great way to approach this is to ask several
contacts the same question and turn their responses into a round-up post that
examines the issue from multiple angles. Not only will the designers share your post
to their audiences, but being seen as a connector and leader in your niche will
improve conversion. Again, you’ll be stealing their google traffic too.
37. Get Interviewed On New & Noteworthy Multi-
Disciplinary Design Podcasts
13Podcasts are hugely popular, and totally under-exploited by designers. Podcast hosts
are desperate for guests, so by searching the new & noteworthy design category on
iTunes, you will find a handful of shows who would love to have you on. Just send
them a cold email, pitch your story and suggest a Skype interview. Practice your
radio voice.
38. Create A Profile On HARO (Help A Reporter
Out) And Become A Source For Industry Journos
HARO is a free email newsletter that connects journalists with expert sources from
various industries. After you subscribe to HARO, you will receive call-outs for experts
three times per day. You will find several journalists looking for design experts every
week. They usually ask for opinions on stupid things like “cushion trends”, but we’re
talking New York Times, The Financial Review and so on — so you should stoop a bit.
39. Newsjack — Write About Industry Topics That
Have Been Made Newsworthy
What’s hitting the news today? Housing shortage? Property bubble? Urban sprawl?
Gentrification? You’re an industry expert so coordinate your content around the
news cycle for maximum reach and impact. As they say at Facebook HQ, “when
people are angry, they click more.”
40. Film Your Projects And Release Daily 10-Min
Updates On FB
If Grand Designs taught us anything, it’s that the public loves the format of site
visits — scary moments, anticipation, unseasonably wet weather and big dreams torn
to pieces. Use your phone to film a vlog update on your projects each day and post it
to Facebook and YouTube. Include your clients and tradies where possible for local
colour.
41. Find A Link-Worthy Article And Re-Write Your
Own Version
A great way to find a blog topic that people are interested in is to use Buzzsumo or
Reddit to find out what is trending in architecture — then write your own article on
the same topic from your own unique perspective. To give the article a traffic boost,
14search for the original article on twitter then reach out to the people who shared it —
they’ll most likely share yours as well. Copycats always do well on social media.
42. Invite Groups Of Architecture Students On
Site Visits and Run An Instagram Photo
Competition
Young people are great at Instagram, they’re also way more connected than you
realise and as we know, they’ll do anything for free. Invite students on site visits and
run a photo competition, it will give you a stock of high quality images that you can
use on your own account — as well as exposure to their family and friends. First prize
is an unpaid 24-month internship.
43. Create A Google Alert For Competitor’s
Names — Reach Out To The Journalist With Your
Own POV
If journalists are quoting your competitors, Google knows about it. By setting a news
alert, you’ll be able to pick up these articles quickly and reach out to the writer with
your own take on the issue — which they may include in the original article or
improve your chances of featuring in a future piece of content. This works especially
well if your competitor is boring and you’re edgy.
44. Make Sure Your City And The Word
“Architect” Are Within The First 100 Words On
Your Website
This is both an SEO and user experience tip — it’s important for Google and your
visitors to know what you do and where you are as soon as possible. Otherwise,
they’ll get confused and leave your website. It sounds obvious, but good luck finding
an architecture website that tells you what they do.
45. Replace Your ‘Contact’ Button Copy With
“Start Your Project”
15Experiment with your button copy, it can make a massive difference to your
conversion rate. I’ve found that “Talk to an architect” or “start your project” both
have significantly higher click-rates than Contact Us. Little known fact, adding an “>”
after button text improves conversion. Nobody knows why.
46. Ask Past-Clients To Write Reviews On Houzz
Thousands of residential architects are on Houzz, but few put in the time to solicit
reviews from their clients. If you sort a Houzz search result page by ‘most reviewed’
as many do, you can usually rank on the first page by having as few as 20 positive
reviews.
MIHALY SLOCOMBE, THE MOST REVIEWED ARCHITECT IN MELBOURNE,
HAS JUST 16 POSITIVE REVIEWS.
47. Add An FAQ To Your Website Answering
Common Questions From New Clients
Review your recent lead emails for those annoying questions that prospects ask time
and time again, then turn them into an FAQ. An FAQ is a chance to educate
prospects, pre-empt their concerns and clarify the details. It will improve conversion
and reduce tyre-kickers. “Q. Can you do a concept design for free? A. Get lost dude!”
48. Survey Your Past Clients And Use Their
Language In Website Copy
16Do you have a hard time explaining your service in a simple way that everyone can
understand? Interview your past or current clients about what you’ve done for them
then use their language as the foundation for your website copy. They’ll use words
like nice, pretty and fun. Those are good words.
49. Use An Email Sequence Tool To Follow-Up
With Prospects Who Have Gone Cold
Sometimes new leads go gold, so use a tool like MixMax to send them an automated
sequence of emails that will only be sent if they don’t reply. Keep sending these until
they fold like the cheap suit and hire you.
50. Create A FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) Deadline
On Your Site
Scarcity improves conversion — if you are really busy and only looking to consider a
handful of clients with great briefs, you should mention that on your website. Even if
you’re not, try to create scarcity (#fakescarcity) wherever you can.
51. Embed A Contact Button CTA In Your
Newsletter
Aside from linking to content on your website in your newsletter, you should also
link to your website contact form with a similar call-to-action button as used on your
site. Although leads can reply to your newsletter, they may not realise it or feel
motivated to take this action without an attention grabbing button. People need to be
told to do things.
52. Embed Positive Tweets About Your Firm On
Your Website
Testimonials are great, but ones that come from social media are even better
(because social is the only game in town). If someone tweets a positive message
about you or your work, embed it on your homepage for extra social authority and
improved conversion.
1753. Create An “Us VS Everyone Else” Page
Demonstrating What You Do Differently
You can be specific or vague when defining the THEM, however this type of content
makes the superiority of your service clear for your visitors. The divisive-dollar is a
hot dollar in 2017.
54. Embed Logos Of Publishers Who Have
Covered Your Work On Your Landing Page
In addition to having a publication page, embed the logos of popular publications on
your homepage to improve your conversion.
55. Do An Invite-Only Open-House Of Each New
Project For Your Mailing List.
Open houses are killer business development opportunities for architects because
they allow your prospects to experience your spaces directly and meet you in person.
Remember, photos of buildings aren’t buildings. Take advantage of this rare
opportunity by creating a private Eventbrite and invite the members of your mailing
list to an exclusive preview. Give them free stuff like party pies and company swag.
56. Discuss Pricing In Dollar Terms On Your
Website To Improve In-Bound Lead Quality
Don’t hide your pricing. It is very difficult to find out information about what
architects charge anywhere on the internet. It’s unfair on your prospects, and
yourself, to keep this information a secret. We all know that good design doesn’t have
to be more expensive, so make the case for that with a pricing page that explains how
architect fees work.
57. Set A Quarterly Calendar Reminder To Cold-
Call Past-Clients
You can improve word of mouth by cold-calling past clients to check-in on a
quarterly basis. You never know what can happen when you get on the offense to
18drive referrals from past clients. They may be thinking of a second home, or have a
friend who was asking about your work. I worked for an office in Japan that did
scheduled maintenance check-ups on the building to see how it was holding up as a
way of hard-selling an addition or holiday home.
58. Ask For A Budget On Your Contact Form
Asking for a project budget will help you to pre-qualify bad leads, and will also allow
you to anchor budget expectations so that leads know you can work with them. Bids
start at 2mil, ladies and gentleman.

59. Use Push Notifications To Engage Your
Audience While They Browse The Web
Subscribers (the name of the app) will ask new visitors to your website to approve
browser notifications, which are short messages and links (like tweets) than you can
send to your audience instantly no matter where they are on the internet. These have
a huge click-rate, and can be even better than email for driving traffic to your website
when you have something important to promote.
1960. Give The Visitor Fewer Portfolio Choices —
Start With A Key Project
Your visitor doesn’t need to see dozens of projects right away to understand that
you’ve done a lot of work. Pick your best project from each category and make them
the focus on your landing page. Other projects can sit somewhere on the website, but
don’t put them on your home page. Less is more! Instead of filling your homepage
with images, just say “aside from these three beauties, we’ve also designed 54
buildings that were just as awesome” — who is going to bother fact-checking that.
61. Offer A ‘Start Your Own Build’ Checklist Call
To Action In Return For An Email Address
Use Sumo or a pop-up tool of your choice to trigger a PDF download in exchange for
an email address. The best piece of content to promote is a single-page checklist or
guide for people thinking about building in your local area.
62. Record Video Testimonials From Clients —
Embed On Each Project Page
Use client-generated content wherever possible. Even an iPhone-recorded tour of
their new house (fun and exciting) will be a shaky, awkward and engaging addition to
that project’s page.
63. Monthly Meetup For People Thinking Of
Building In Your Suburb
Meetups are a great way to generate relevant leads. Create a recurring monthly event
at a local cafe or bar and promote it in your local area targeting anyone who is
thinking of building. Facebook ads are a great way to promote this event, but it will
work even better if you just target your mailing list.
64. Use A Price Calculation Plugin On Your Pricing
Page — Don’t Make The Prospect Do The Math
20As a professional, you have access to many time-saving calculators and spreadsheets
that take the guesswork out of the construction process. Potential clients would do
anything to get their hands on simplified and user-friendly versions of these, so put
one together and offer it in exchange for an email on your website. Blow them away
with your fancy skills.
65. Convert Your Instagram Account Into A
Business Account To Add A Contact Button
Go into your Instagram settings and turn your account into a business account —
you’ll get a contact button that makes it easy for your followers to email you without
leaving the app. Your business account also includes advanced social media analytics
that will tell you which posts are winners and which are universally hates so that you
can up your game.
66. Do A Giveaway To Grow Your Email List Virally
Viral giveaways are wholesome cheesy fun, but most importantly, they give those
who invite their friends a much higher chance of winning. This way, you’ll expand
your email list really fast. I ran a wildly successful giveaway (for a magazine
subscription) that added 442 people to our list directly from our other social media
platforms, then an additional 1211 who were invited by the initial 442. The prize
should be specific to people who are interested in homes and good design, so I’d
recommend a nice piece of designer furniture or tapware. If you use a product whose
designer has 15’000 followers or more, then ask them to share it with their fans.
67. Record heatmaps to find out the important
parts of your website.
When trying to make your website more usable, use a heatmap tool
like Hotjar (which is free) to record a useful heatmap. Remove the dead weight, the
stuff that your visitors wouldn’t touch with a ten-foot-pole, and you’ll find your
conversion will start to improve pretty quickly.

68. Answer questions in your local Facebook
Groups.
Clients of mine frequently win residential projects by answering common questions
in locally-situated renovation, parents, new home and other types of Facebook
Groups. These are not places to promote your services, but providing thoughtful,
education answers will show hundreds of other members how resourceful you are.
69. Promote your most successful Instagram
posts every month.
Use Instagram Insights to identify your best performing recent posts, and use the
Promote feature to help spread them to your ideal prospects. You can run a
promotion with as little as $1 per day, and can set a duration of up to 30 days for the
campaign. It’s a great way to get your firm out there in front of potential clients. Here
is a video on how to run this type of campaign on your Instagram account.
2269. Create and promote a single-issue
experience.
Think about the initial steps in the client journey – perhaps there are creative or
entrepreneurial ways you could separate them out as standalone experiences that
prospects could pay for to get a taste of your services? It will help them, and you, to
feel more comfortable before taking the plunge with a full-length project.
The service you choose should be valuable enough that clients will pay for it, yet not
so comprehensive that it overwhelms or confuses prospects, or can’t be delivered in
one sitting. It should be just enough to give you a chance to build rapport, establish a
relationship and demonstrate your expertise.
70. Upgrade an old project.
It’s quite common for architects to always focus their attention on sharing new
projects with the world. But, sometimes improving the presentation and awareness
of our existing projects can be just as fruitful, if not more. I recommend that
architects constantly revisit old projects, whenever they have the chance, to improve
their descriptions, expand the project info into a case study, shoot new photos,
record a video presentation, create better drawings or do any of the other things you
can do to make the project more appealing, educational and persuasive to
prospective clients.
23It’s particularly important to also pitch these older projects, once updated, to the
press who may have missed the project the first time around. Clients of mine have
had enormous success publishing three, four, or five year old projects in some of the
world’s most read online architecture publications by just reaching out.
