Without further delay, let’s get started!
Google as a source of top interior designer keywords
Step 1 - Analyzing your competitors’ interior keywords
Analyzing your competitors' advertising keywords is one of the basic but powerful tactics in marketing. Not only does it give you an insight into their strategies and what’s already working, but it can be a rich resource for finding the best keywords for interior designers.
Helping us to extract and analyze competitor paid ads keywords is the Domain PPC Keywords Finder. This tool will extract all of a domain's paid keywords for the past year in BULK.
To gain access to the Domain PPC Keywords Finder and start extracting interior design advertising keywords from your competitors’ websites, you must first create an account on Botster. Registration is free and your credit is not even required:
Once you’ve registered and verified your email address, you can then follow the steps below to find interior design keyword terms you can use in your advertising campaign:
- Launch the Domain PPC Keywords Finder's start page by clicking on “Start bot”:
- Next, name your job and specify if you want a folder for this project. I’ll name mine “Keywords for interior design website ads”:
- Now, you need to provide a list of competitor websites the tool can pull keywords from (If you need a quick way to find them, check the “Tips” section below):
- Under the field titled “Exclude domains”, enter the websites you’d like the bot to ignore:
- The “Country code” field is optional but in case websites outside your target country get on your list, it can help you filter them out:
- To put this tool on complete autopilot and let it routinely extract competitor PPC keywords for interior design for you, let it run periodically:
- Next, set the run frequency for the tool:
- Set an expiry date if you’d like the Domain PPC Keywords Finder to stop running at a specific date:
- Also let it deliver only new items on each subsequent run:
- Set up your notification options, making sure you select the option that says “Attach results to the notification email”:
- Finally, start the bot!
On the next page, you should see something similar to the image below. Click on “Run now” and wait for the interior design keywords list in your email:
And that’s it!
Easy peasy!

- Also analyze the costs of these clicks.
- Now use the results of your analysis as a basis for your further keyword research.
Step 2 - Extracting interior design SEO keywords from people’s minds
Tool 1 - Google keyword suggestions: interior design search hints extractor
Keeping the interior design PPC keywords we fetched from our competitors aside, we need to now find the keywords people use to find great interior designers on the Internet. Of course, we'll use Google, since it handles over 2/3 of searches on search engines.
For this step, we'll be using the Google Search Suggestions Scraper. This tool will help us extract search suggestions from Google and other search engines and export them into an Excel file in BULK.
Without a doubt, this is an excellent tool to find the best keywords for interior design companies on Google. It is fast, and it extracts just what it's supposed to extract — keyphrases.
The keywords you’ll get from this tool are typically the most searched keywords for interior design, which is why Google automatically suggests them in the search bar.
Setting up the Google Search Suggestions Scraper is quite straightforward. The steps are outlined below:
- Launch the Google Search Suggestions Scraper's start page and name your job as I showed you earlier.
- Next, select your desired target region and language. I'm still looking for interior keywords in California:
- Select the search methods you want the tool to adopt:
- Next, set a desired search depth:
- Now, select other search engines if you would love to extract their data too:
- Next, input your keywords. You can input multiple keywords but each one must go on a new line:
- Remember to set your notification options, then click on “Start this bot” to launch the tool into action. This also launches the “My jobs” page to display something like this:
And that's it! Just 7 easy steps within a minute and you can have as many as 100 interior design popular keywords just like that!

Tool 2 - The best keywords for interior design companies on Google: widgets extractor
Next up, let’s find even more keywords related to interior design using the Google People Also Ask and Related Searches Exporter. This tool will scrape the content of the “People Also Ask” and “Related Searches” widgets and extract them into a spreadsheet.
If you’re wondering: “What are keywords to use when advertising interior design business?”, there’s potential here. That’s because the keywords in these sections will usually have relatively high volume but low ad competition.
Here’s how to set up the Google People Also Ask and Related Searches Exporter to scrape SEO keywords for interior designers for you:
- Launch the tool's start page and name your job as we did earlier.
- Enter your search keywords into the field titled “Search queries”. You can use new keywords or copy and paste in the results from the previous extraction:
- Next, select which snippet you wish to extract:
- Set your custom options as needed:
- Also, select your desired location for the search. Ideally, this should be the city or state you’re targeting. So mine is still California:
- Finally, set up time and scheduling options if you want the tool to run periodically or start at a later time:
- Now you can start the bot and wait a moment while it gathers your interior design blog keyword snippets.

The results of this extraction should look similar to this:
Tips
- Unite the keywords extracted by the Google People Also Ask and Related Searches Exporter and the ones extracted by the Google Search Suggestions Scraper above into one table:
- Sort all the keywords together from A to Z:
- Separate questions from the rest of the keywords and use them as topics for your blog:
- Find out which of these keywords have the highest search volume and, hence, are the most popular ones among potential clients as described in the next step ⬇️
Step 3 - Shortlisting the most searched-for interior design keywords
At this point, we already have a very long list of SEO keywords for interior design. Maybe too long, in fact, and we can’t possibly use all of it. Hence the need for this step.
Now we’ll use the Search Volume and CPC Finder to fetch Google cost per click (CPC) and search volume data for these keywords. This tool can help distinguish between the best keywords for interior design and mediocre ones.
Keywords with high search volume and low CPC typically perform excellently in both SEO and advertising. High volume means they are searched often, and a low CPC rate means there’s little competition for them. In short, low-competition keywords for interior design will perform better.
Launching the Search Volume and CPC Finder involves just one step, meaning that this tool takes less than 10 seconds to set up:
- On the Search Volume and CPC Finder’s start page, paste the keywords you’ve extracted into the field titled “Search keywords and phrases”:
- Now click on “Start this bot” and you’re done already!

Opening the result file from this tool should give you this:
Tips
- Sort the results in descending order by the “Volume” column, putting the list in a kind of order of importance.
- I’ll also recommend that you use the keywords with the highest volume as headings on your site’s pages while the keywords with lower volume will be in the text body.
- Read about using keyword grouping bots to sort your data as described in my guide on finding SEO keywords for beauty products.
YouTube as a source of quality SEO keywords for interior designers
At this point, we’re already okay with what we’ve found, considering that they are the most popular interior design keywords on Google. But I’d like to throw in a bonus step to help you find keywords even on YouTube.
The YouTube Keyword Scraper scrapes search autocomplete suggestions from YouTube’s search bar and exports them into an Excel file in BULK as keywords. Interior design is a very interesting industry and you may find different keyword sets on Youtube.
Just like the previous tools, the YouTube Keyword Scraper is equally easy to set up:
- On the YouTube Keyword Scraper’s start page, select the region and language:
- Select the search methods you’d prefer:
- Select the depth:
- In the field titled “Phrases”, input one or more interior design keywords. These could either be broad or targeted keywords:
- Now launch the tool into action and wait for your results.
