The climb

REimagineHome · AEO / SEO

18.7 → 10 avg. non-brand search position

The challengeBlog content didn't match what people were actually searching for.

What I didBuilt prompt systems, a publishing workflow and QA checks, then tested the blog, Reddit, Quora and YouTube using GSC and GA4 data.

The resultMoved up almost nine places on average, and the team published faster with consistent quality.

Chapter 05

Caught at review

Styldod · Quality systems

Less rework, consistent output at volume

The challengeQuality depended on manual checks, so off-spec work slipped through and needed fixing later.

What I didFound the gaps in the pipeline and introduced review systems and shared standards.

The resultOff-spec work is caught at review instead of by the customer.

Chapter 06 · Interactive · Your turn

Spot what’s off‑spec.

Three things in this staged room would get it sent back. Tap them. This is the review I run, at volume, every day.

Tap anything that looks wrong.

Chapter 07 · Styldod · Curation

650 furniture sets, curated by style

650 sets · 12 collections · 6 room types

Virtual staging only looks right when every piece in the room belongs to the same style. I curated complete sets for ten interior styles across six room types, plus gym and bathroom collections.
