✦ About me
You talk to me, not a call center.
I'm Mateus Alves, a Brazilian SEO consultant based in Istanbul. I help furniture, interiors and design brands get found by the customers they want, on Google and in AI search.
Across borders and languages, always.
Istanbul has connected Europe, Asia and the Middle East for centuries. It's a good place to help brands sell across borders, because that's what the whole city does.
Before SEO I worked in graphic design and in hospitality, always with people from different countries and in different languages. Design taught me how a space or a piece makes someone feel. Hospitality taught me what makes a guest trust you. Put together, that is most of what furniture SEO needs: a customer in Spain, one in Germany and one in Brazil don't just speak differently. They search differently, and they trust different things.
Today I put that together. I research how customers and designers in each of your markets search, build the pages that answer them, and make sure Google and AI assistants know your brand is real and worth recommending.
Why I work with furniture and design brands.
Furniture is a visual, high-value purchase. People browse for weeks, compare brands, save photos and ask designers before they buy. Many furniture sites are beautiful but hard for Google to read: heavy images, thin product text, one language only, or filters that create thousands of duplicate pages.
That gap is where I'm useful. A maker in Portugal, Italy or Brazil can build a better sofa than a competitor and still lose the sale, simply because the customer or designer in Germany or the US found the other brand first. I fix that part.
What I bring from before SEO
- Graphic design. I build pages that look good and make a customer want to send a message, not just pages that rank.
- Hospitality and travel consulting. Years of working with guests and clients from all over the world, in their language. You learn fast what makes a foreigner trust a business, and what makes them leave.
- Three working languages. I research and write in Portuguese, English and Spanish myself, so the keywords come from how people really search, not from a translation tool.
How I measure the work
Rankings are only the middle step. Each month I report three things in plain words: how many people from your target countries found you, where you appear on Google and in AI answers for the searches that matter, and how many real enquiries came in. If a number doesn't move, we change the plan.
What I won't do
No bought links, no copied content, no machine-translated pages published without review, and no promises of "page one in 30 days". Those shortcuts get sites penalized. Good SEO for a furniture brand takes a few months and then keeps working for years.
