Houzz's search algorithm seems to lead my potential customers astray

12 years ago
I searched for the word "bowling" in Houzz photos. Out of the top 300 results, I counted 18 pictures that were bowling related. The remainder featured pet bowls, sink bowls, fruit bowls, and other types of bowls which have nothing to do with "bowling."

From my selfish standpoint, this hurts my business, as it makes it difficult for my potential customers to find me. But it also seems like this would hurt Houzz as well if users are shown search results totally unrelated to what they were searching for.

Any tips on how to make my bowling photos rank higher when someone searches for "bowling"? Is there a search engine guru employee at Houzz that could look into this issue?
Thank you!
Ryan
