Homepage
SEO

Three fields, a heading structure that does not currently exist, and the schema that makes the Al Quoz showroom visible to local search. The premium tone stays exactly as it is.

Measured against the live homepage on 27 August 2026

The state of it

What is on the homepage today No H1 text. The tag is there and it is empty.

No content headings at all. The only two headings on the entire page are "Your cart" and "Your cart is currently empty", both from the cart drawer. "Stories woven into every piece" and "About us" are styled text, not heading tags, so Google reads no structure whatsoever.

313 words, against 1,821 for WS Living, 8,374 for ebarza and 9,492 for The Wood of Arts.

10 internal links to collections and pages, and Murano is not one of them. 92 products, a quarter of the catalogue, with no route from the homepage.

19 of 22 images carry no alt attribute.

Organization schema only, and its sameAs array contains seven empty strings alongside the two real profiles.

The three fields

01
Title tag
ProposedVintage Furniture & Collectible Design Dubai | Assembly
CurrentAssembly Vintage Concept Store
Why

30 characters, no category and no location. Every competitor names both. This is the single highest leverage field on the site.

02
Meta description
ProposedAssembly is a Dubai showroom for vintage furniture and collectible design: Italian seating, original Murano lighting, Persian rugs and mid-century pieces.
CurrentAssembly Vintage Dubai offers mid-century modern furniture, iconic designer chairs, Italian and Scandinavian vintage pieces, Murano chandeliers and Wall Scones, retro lighting, and unique collectible furniture. We also source rare Persian and Turkish rugs for timeless interiors. Shipping Worldwide.
Why

299 characters, so Google truncates roughly half of it. It also contains the 'Wall Scones' misspelling, which is currently being served on the most visited page of the site.

03
H1
ProposedVintage Furniture and Collectible Design in Dubai
CurrentPresent in the markup but completely empty
Why

The homepage has no H1 text and no content H2s at all. The only headings on the page are 'Your cart' and 'Your cart is currently empty' from the cart drawer.

Heading structure

The page needs a spine. This is the proposed hierarchy against what exists now.

Copy: keep the voice, add the substance

The existing writing is good and it stays. Two blocks are kept almost as they are, promoted into real headings. Four are new, and they exist mainly to give the page something to say about the categories that carry the most stock.

Stories woven into every piece

A collection of stories and memories, thoughtfully curated in one place. Each piece tells a tale, connecting you to the past and enriching your present.

Keep, and promote to H2
Opening paragraph

Nestled in the heart of Dubai, Assembly is a showroom for connoisseurs of vintage artistry and exceptional craftsmanship. We curate a distinctive collection of vintage furniture, collectible design, original Murano lighting and Persian rugs, each piece handpicked from esteemed auctions and trusted collectors worldwide.

Keep, minor edit
Browse the collection

Seating, lighting, tables, rugs, art and objects. Around three hundred and fifty pieces are in the showroom at any time, weighted toward Italian design of the 1960s and 1970s. Everything is a period original rather than a reproduction.

New
Original Murano glass

Assembly holds one of the deepest collections of vintage Murano glass lighting in the region: chandeliers, wall sconces and tiered tube designs, many by Mazzega, in Poliedri, Felci, alabaster and rondini glass. Every piece is a period original, and each can be seen in person before you buy.

New
Vintage Persian rugs

Hand knotted Kerman and Tabriz rugs in original colourways, sized from runners to room rugs. Sourced alongside the furniture so a room can be put together in one place.

New
Visit the showroom

Warehouse 9, 9 24A Street, Al Quoz, Dubai. Pieces can be viewed by appointment, and our team can advise on scale, condition and installation before you commit.

New

That takes the homepage from 313 words to roughly 550. Still far below the retailers, but the objective is not to match ebarza on volume. It is to state plainly what Assembly sells, where it is, and what makes a piece worth buying.

Internal links out of the homepage

The homepage is the strongest page on any site. Right now it passes almost nothing to the categories that matter.

The nav already agrees with us The menu calls them "Rugs" and "Lamps". Those links point at /collections/tapestry and /collections/lightning.

Assembly has already decided what these categories are called in plain English. The URLs and page titles simply never caught up. The renames proposed in Section 4 are not a rebrand, they make the address agree with the signpost that is already there.

Schema to replace the current block

FurnitureStore is a LocalBusiness subtype, which is what every retail competitor runs and Assembly does not. Address and phone are taken from the live contact page. Three values still need supplying, marked ADD.

Needed from Assembly Opening hours and map coordinates for the Al Quoz showroom. Opening hours are not published anywhere on the site today, which is a gap in its own right: it is one of the first things a buyer looks for before driving to a warehouse address.
