I am sure everyone reading this post is quite familiar with Houzz.com. But incase you aren’t, here is information about Houzz taken directly from their website.
Houzz is the leading platform for home remodeling and design, providing people with everything they need to improve their homes from start to finish – online or from a mobile device. From decorating a room to building a custom home, Houzz connects millions of homeowners, home design enthusiasts and home improvement professionals across the country and around the world. With the largest residential design database in the world and a vibrant community powered by social tools, Houzz is the easiest way for people to get the design inspiration, project advice, product information and professional reviews they need to help turn ideas into reality.

A few years ago a created a Houzz profile just as I did with the other social media platforms like
Facebook,
Twitter and
Instagram. I really haven’t done that much with the profile – I added a few random pictures in the beginning and I had pretty much neglected it for the past couple of years.
It wasn’t until recently I discovered what a powerful marketing and referral tool Houzz really is! Check out their testimonial page
here, and see for yourself.

With millions of photographs of well appointed residential interiors, over 300 million monthly page views, and over 16 million monthly visitors, it is very clear that most homeowners go to Houzz to seek inspiration for their decorating and remodeling projects. They have the ability to check out designers’ portfolios and can then contact the professional that they like for their project. When potential clients contact you from Houzz, it is more like a referral than a lead – They have already checked you out in great detail and are usually qualified customers who are ready to buy.
Even better that Houzz has the Pro Plus feature that allows your profile to show up more frequently and consistently in local search results for your area. It is a service that you pay for each month, but it is well worth it.
So, armed with this great information, I have begun the process of updating
my Houzz Profile. I recently upgraded to the Pro Plus feature that geo-targets my profile to my local area search results, as well as gives pinpoint accurate statistics on how my profile is performing. It will literally serve up more frequently those photographs that are being saved to idea books. There are dedicated account managers that work with you to make sure your profile is robust and look and perform at its best.
I have also been slowly adding new photographs with proper descriptions and keywords that will help with search results. I even took advantage of the
free website feature, adding badges to my blog and
website, and will be asking clients to add reviews.
Please check out my profile
here and I would love a follow.

my profile and add a few photographs to your idea books.

I am glad you introduced me to Houzz few weeks ago, I didn’t till now it’s the leading platform for home remodeling and design
Thank you
Correction … I didn’t know till now ***
I had no idea how huge Houzz was. Definitely looking into it more. I need more inspiration to get some projects going in my own house!
Beautiful spaces. Every time I read your blog, I look up from the laptop and see such a sad space- I really need to do something!
I’d never heard of Houzz, so I’ll be checking it out. I absolutely love the built in in the top photo!
It does sound like a great platform for getting decorating ideas and inspiration. I will definitely be checking it out.
Glad you realized it was such a great resource. I will definitely be checking it out. I do not have on bit of decorating talent so my house needs help.
This is the first time I ever heard of Houzz. I will check it out. Thanks!
Glad you are taking advantage of that platform! I imagine decorators and contractors would do great there–and your stuff is always so awesome, they’ll love you!

I had never heard of the Houzz before, but that is awesome that you are over there showcasing your talents!!
OH my! Those are all so beautiful. I’m looking for a little inspiration for my office.
A professional colleague (and one of my oldest blogging friends) had her house featured on Houzz. Totally cool.
I actually haven’t heard about it until today! Love your profile, and of course the work you do!
I’ve looked there a few times, but should look more. I hope this really pays off for you, and I’m sure it will!
Sounds like a great place for your business Veronica. Makes me think a little of Pinterest for home decorating professionals.
Sounds like a wonderful site. I am going to have to use this for our new home.
Looks like it would be a fantastic tool for your business! I’ve heard lots about it, but I’m scared to even go to the site…I’m afraid it would become another abyss like Pinterest already is for me LOL (One more row of pins, I’ll just look at one more thing…)
I’ve not played around with Houzz yet. I love the touches of blue from your inspiration photos.
This it the first I’ve heard of Houzz. Will definitely check them out.
I have never heard of Houzz…but I am glad you are on there and getting some added exposure! You do such a great job!

Wow, I never knew this existed! Glad you’re on there though since your design is amazing
This is the first I’ve heard of Houzz but it looks like an amazing site full of information and lovely photographs! I will have to check it out and start making some dream house lists!
I haven’t heard of it before though I think it is a great way to learn more about interior design. I think keeping your profile updated is a great idea for more exposure.
I hadn’t heard of Houzz, but will be taking a look now! Amazing photos!
What a cool resource! I had heard of it, but had no idea how huge and helpful it could be.
Looks like a great resource for me to use this coming year during the planning of our new home building. I love all of the design decor above.
My brother-in-law owns a contracting firm in DC. He uses Houzz often and says he really likes them. He says they are a great resource.
Those blue chairs in that dining room above are stunning! I had never heard of Houzz before. Looks like a cool site.
I love Houzz! I get so much inspiration on there. I’ll have to follow your site there too!
thanks Karen!
I never heard of Houzz before, I checked it out and I have to admit I completely love it and will be using it.

I had heard of it, but wasn’t sure who it was for. Thanks for sharing the info!
I love all this information you share with us!. Can’t wait to check this out now.
I too will check this out. Will it help with SEO or do you know that?..Just curious.
I am not quite sure to what extent Jim, but you can add keywords to your images and link other social media platforms. I am sure that helps with SEO
I am in love with that bookshelf around the fireplace. I can see me filling it up.
I’ve heard of this before but hadn’t looked into it. It’s like Pinterest boards for all things interior decorating. Love it!
I love Houzz. In fact, I designed our front steps and driveway using the inspirational images there.
I’ve never heard of Houzz! Thanks for posting!
I love Houzz! I am hopelessly addicted to it for all of my interior decorating inspiration.

Somehow, I’ve never heard of Houzz. I think I’m missing out! Time to go check it out. I’m ready for some new home decor.
Those rooms look amazing! I need to get motivated to change up some things. Thanks for the inspiration!

I love “window shopping” for decorating ideas. Looks like I have a lot to check out!

I’ve heard of Houzz before but I’ve never been there. I’m always looking for new inspiration and ideas for my house. We are updating several rooms – so thanks for introducing me!
I found Houzz about a year ago and I have been reading it and using it ever since. We just finished a 3 month remodel of our kitchen and living room and I was able to get my inspirations from Houzz. We are very satisfied with our remodel. So many great products and ideas there.
That sounds like an amazing site and resource. I’ll check it out!
I love houzz! But I hate how I get sucked in! I’ll look at the clock and be like oh my gosh it’s been 3 hours!!! EEK!
Thank you for sharing Houzz with us. I have never heard of it but will be checking it out. It looks like a great platform to go for inspiration. Btw, I love that beach inspired living room!
that looks like it’d be a great marketing tool for your interior design business. Hope you do so well with it!
I had never heard of the site until now. Looks like I could get lots of inspiration from there. I’m always looking to change something around here.
Will you please decorate for me? Please? I really love your style
I have never heard of Houzz before! I need to check it out, I’m challenged in the decorating part of life!
It is exciting to hear about this new (to me) platform. It is a great place for the kind of work you do, so start using it as much as possibel because that is where your customers and peers will be.
Beautiful houses with beautiful design! Who wouldn’t love to live in a house like that!
I’ve never heard of that site! I hope you can get some great clients and build your business even bigger! You do great work, people will want to work with you, for sure!
Hozz seems like a really fun platform. I love the photos you shared here by Casa Vilora Interiors!
