The photo stream is one of the most popular Houzz features. It’s where millions of homeowners start dreaming up ideas for their upcoming renovation journey by browsing, searching, and saving photos of the spaces and work that they love. Photo stream helps homeowners get inspired, imagine the possibilities, and discover and connect with pros on Houzz.

Every photo on Houzz gives credit to the pro who did the work. Photos directly link to the right pro’s profile on Houzz, so that homeowners can view more of that pro’s work, learn about their business, view their videos, and reach out by phone or email - all just a click away from each and every photo. Sponsored placements boost a pro’s visibility on Houzz in the photo stream, and surface their photos to targeted homeowners who live in their area.
Project Match is a premium feature for our Houzz Pro Ultimate members where we match pros with homeowners based on a questionnaire that homeowners complete about their project.

In addition to searching for pros in the Find Professionals directory, homeowners have the option of completing a questionnaire called Project Match that asks for information about the project that they have in mind. This questionnaire asks homeowners for their location, budget, the services that they’re looking for, the current status of their project, when they want to get started, and more.

When the homeowner finishes the questionnaire and submits it, our matching technology produces up to 5 matched pros. The homeowner receives the contact information and Houzz profiles of those pros so that they can explore working with them, and vice versa.

Live Connections is a premium service for our Houzz Pro Ultimate members that facilitates real-time connections over the phone with pre-screened homeowners.

Research shows that If you respond to a potential client within five minutes of receiving a message, it increases your chances of reaching that person by 100 times compared with responding after 30 minutes. Live Connections is a service to help our pros close that gap and connect with homeowners in real time.

So how does Live Connections work? A Houzz Concierge Representative will verify a homeowner’s project request by phone, then contact pros who are a fit to see who is available to speak to the homeowner at that time. Our goal is to connect pros with homeowners directly so that they can talk about the project on the spot. When Live Connections calls you (you can also opt-in to receive notifications by text when homeowners are live on the phone ready to speak with you), you can chat with the Houzz Concierge rep about the project and decide if you’d like to be connected with the homeowner directly.
