Best of Houzz Award Tips
Know Your Angles
Increase your chances of being selected by uploading high-quality project photos of your best work and keywords in your image descriptions. This will help homeowners discover your photos when they search by style and location.
Spread the Word
Use the ‘Get Reviews’ link on your profile page to encourage clients to share their experiences working with you. The earlier in the year you start reaching out for reviews, the more time your clients have to get them in.
Come Out on Top
Just like the design awards, you’ll want to upload high-quality photos and pair them with relevant keywords and topics. Not only will this make them more searchable, it will increase their popularity potential on Houzz.
Earn Your Certification
The first step to winning an Innovator award is to make sure you’re Houzz Pro Certified, which is available to all pros subscribed to Houzz Pro. Our self-paced program turns you into a master of our software and helps your business stand out to homeowners.
