As a Houzz Certified* resource, we wanted to share three insightful tips for businesses that use Houzz:

  1. Utilize Houzz Ideabooks as a collaborative tool with home remodel clients. Ideabooks allow homeowners to independently collect images that communicate exactly what they want, which expedites the design process.
  2. Build credibility for your brand by responding to both positive and negative reviews of your company. According to Houzz, 80% of consumers hire professionals based off of good reviews and recommendations, so it is essential to convey gratitude before, during and after a home remodel project is completed.
  3. Upload high-quality photos that demonstrate your company’s expertise and showcase the benefit of working with your business. Use specific keywords when tagging the photos so they are easy to find by interested Houzz users.

*This recognition is awarded to professional users who have exhibited a significant understanding of the platform’s best practices by taking a special online course created by Houzz experts.
