Why “The Drawing Room”?
In historic homes, the drawing room was where guests were invited to sit, think, and stay awhile.
It wasn’t for rushing. It wasn’t for noise. It was where meaningful conversations happened; where ideas were drawn out.
That’s the energy behind this space.
It’s a quiet, intentional space for small business owners to finally understand SEO not as a mystery, but as a muscle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much time should I expect to spend each week?
The Drawing Room is designed around about one focused hour per week. That might look like updating a page, reviewing keyword data, refreshing old content, or applying guidance from office hours. Consistency matters more than intensity.
Is this beginner-friendly?
Yes! As long as you’re willing to learn and implement. You don’t need to be an SEO expert, but you should be comfortable managing your own website or working inside one regularly.
Is this a course or an agency?
Neither.
This is done-with-you SEO. You’ll get guidance, prompts, live support, and strategy — but you’re the one implementing. That’s how results compound without an agency price tag.
Will this help with AI search and Google’s AI results?
Yes, but not through shortcuts or hacks. We focus on clarity, structure, and intent, which are the same fundamentals search engines and AI use to understand and reference content. SEO hasn’t been replaced by AI; the standards have simply been raised.
