Today, we're thrilled to host Julia Bocchese of Julia Renee Consulting, a firm specializing in SEO and Pinterest strategies for creative businesses, including interior designers.

In this episode, Julia breaks down the unique power of Pinterest and shares actionable ways design professionals can use the platform to expand visibility, drive traffic to their websites, and strengthen their brand messaging. From Pinterest's role as a visual search engine to its ability to enhance SEO, this episode is packed with insights and strategies you won't want to miss.

Show Highlights:

• The Pinterest Advantage: Why Pinterest is a visual search engine, not just another social media platform.

Notable Quotes:

• "Pinterest is a search engine. It's not about followers or likes; it's about using the right keywords and connecting with people actively searching for what you offer."
• "If someone pins your image, it's automatically linked back to your website. That's a huge benefit for driving traffic and boosting your SEO."
• "Instagram posts disappear in 24 to 48 hours, but a good pin can drive traffic for months or even years."
• "Think of Pinterest as an extension of your portfolio. It's a way to share your vision for styles that may not yet be in your online portfolio."
