Editorial Backlinks for Interior Design Studio (Sacramento / NorCal, No PBNs or Link Swaps)

Earned editorial backlinks for a residential interior design studio (Sacramento / Northern California). No paid links, PBNs or link swaps. Designed | Curated Interiors (designedcurated.com) is a full-service residential interior design studio led by Amy Kunst, serving Sacramento, Marin and Northern California: whole-home design, renovation and new construction, kitchen and bath, universal design and aging in place, high-end homes and second homes. What we need: credible, editorially placed links on reputable interior design, architecture, remodeling, kitchen-and-bath, home, luxury real estate and lifestyle publications, plus Sacramento, Marin, Bay Area and Northern California media and trusted industry resources (NKBA, universal design, aging in place). Pitches: expert commentary, trend analysis grounded in real client work, accessible-design guidance, renovation lessons, local design perspective, or a relevant project case study. Useful additions to existing relevant articles are welcome. Destination pages: designedcurated.com/ , /portfolio/ , /about/ , /press/ , individual portfolio projects when directly relevant. Natural anchors only (Amy Kunst, Designed | Curated Interiors, Sacramento interior designer, or a descriptive phrase). No forced exact-match commercial anchors. Non-negotiable rules: - Earned editorial coverage only. No paid insertions, sponsored posts presented as editorial, link swaps, PBNs, expired-domain sites or guest-post marketplaces. - No fabricated quotes, credentials, projects, awards or client claims. - Amy approves every pitch, quote, byline, bio and headshot before anything is sent to a publication. - No bulk outreach using generic AI copy in Amy's voice. - No guarantees of rankings, traffic or authority scores. Relevance and audience quality matter more than volume. Acceptance and payment, one placement at a time, after: live indexable URL on the publication's real site; final anchor and destination URL; confirmation the link is editorial (not purchased, swapped or brokered); the site's current Semrush Authority Score and organic traffic; a relevance check; Amy's sign-off on any attributed quote or byline. Links must stay live 12 months; replacement or refund terms in writing if removed earlier. Trial: one placement first. Before any outreach, send (1) ten named publication prospects, (2) the specific article or editor for each, (3) one sentence on why Designed | Curated belongs there, (4) proposed destination page and natural anchor, (5) a draft pitch for Amy's approval. Ongoing work only if the first placement is genuinely editorial, relevant and professionally handled. To apply: your price per verified live placement, 3-5 live placements you have earned on home, design, architecture or regional-media sites (URL plus the client domain each links to), and how you earn placements. Proposals that skip these will not be considered.
