Chicago, IL, December 12, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Blind Designs, a window shade, blind, and shutter dealer in Chicago, has paired up with Prospect Genius, a specialist in online advertising for local businesses, to make it easier than ever for area homeowners to find the window treatments they need. Utilizing SEO techniques to increase Blind Design’s online presence, Prospect Genius will help their plantation shutter and blinds store appear closer to the top of search engine results pages (SERPs) to ensure their company is more visible and accessible to local residents.
