Houzz Pro

We've been a paying Houzz Pro for about six years. The platform provides a significant percentage of our projects, but each year the ratio slightly decreases. We have to assume that they've saturated our market with other designers, as evidenced by searches for similar firms in the area. We used to top the charts. Not so much anymore, which is disappointing. However, our rep, Brittany Bromagem, has been instrumental in providing advice and guidance, which has helped. If you join the program, make sure you have a knowledgeable and caring representative.

I've been contacting pro support for the past 2 wells now each day. Everyday multiple things happened. They said a manager will be reaching out within an hour & they will take care of me.
Jeff Shapiro, my account manager is full of ****. He is throwing me around, giving statements he will help and send me information, call me back and try to solve my issue but nothing more then bill crap.
I highly disrespect Jeff and his team. They have done nothing but trouble to myself and my business.

BE AWARE

In the same boat as other's with this company not holding up there side of the contract and im to small to do anything about it. It has been 8 months at $544 per month and my site is still not set up and no one tat the company will help. They just keep giving me a new " success manager" and they all say the same thing " this isn't right. I will fix your site immediately." But lo and behold nobody does anything and I lose contact with everybody.

I decided to try Houzz Pro for our business. I wasn't nervous about giving my credit card info at the time I signed up because there supposedly is a 30 day free, no risk trial. Boy was I wrong! After 5 days, it was determined that it was not a good fit for our company so I called to cancel. I was told they could not cancel it and had already charged my account for the entire year. Then I left a negative feedback on their system and was contacted by another person. He led me to believe that he could handle the credit card charge reversal. All he did was pick my brain on how Houzz Pro could be improved and then offered me a $100 credit. He also said there was no way to return the monies.
I then went to my credit card account and found they had charged me again for the entire amount. It has been nothing buy a hassle and now I'm out almost $2800 for my "Free Trial". BEWARE!

HouzzPro offers nothing that will HELP your business to grow. It doesn't do anything special and is just a way to get your money. They offer a 30-day trial period. Immediately upon signing up, I realized is only does about 1/4 of what Quickbook does and costs over twice as much. So, I called and cancelled within 24 hours of signing up. And, of course they said they cancelled. But, charge my account 30 days later and keep charging every month. I have disputed each charge as it comes in. I have called Houzz and get someone who tells me they completely understand and see that I cancelled and they will take care of it with no more charges. And guess what? They charge again. So, do NOT under any circumstances go with HouzzPro.

As designers, we utilize Houzz Pro for their lead generation capabilities, as well as another channel and opportunity for exposure of our work. Houzz Pro has been a beneficial resource in both areas, while providing additional significance to our business through the achievement of awards and positive client reviews that are posted on our page. They have consistently provided excellent, and timely, support that is individualized to our ever-changing needs. Also, while some of the leads that are generated through the site do not always fall within our parameters for target market, project scope or budget, it has created the opportunity for us to become a part of the greater online community of potential clients, trade partners and professionals created by Houzz.

Victoria listens. I feel my thoughts and suggestions are heard. She offers wonderful continuity and energy to our professional relationship. I appreciate her diligent follow-through and insights. Thank you!

Houzz Pro is a great way to follow leads from start to finish. As a small business owner I'm always looking for efficient ways to use my time and Houzz Pro has helped in that regard. I need to be able to update my photos easily and often and trust that potential clients will find them. My client manager, Dana Taylor, enthusiastically showed me where I can see photo view stats and other important advertising info to direct my outreach.

We are a small women owned architecture firm located in San Clemente, California. Many of our projects are residential in South Orange County and North San Diego County and we have found houzz.com to be an excellent marketing partner.

Houzz allows us to post our portfolio of residential projects on line for all potential clients to see our work. I can suggest to these potential clients to look on line at houzz to see the variety of projects that we have done over time.

They can also search for Architects in their area and our name and portfolio come up for South Orange County, California and North San Diego County where most of our projects are located. Many of our clients have found us by searching on houzz.com for architects in their area.

Houzz is an amazing tool for architects to market their design services.

The awareness of Houzz if VERY low in our market so we don't get many leads through Houzz Pro. We find we have to educate our prospects about Houzz when they come into the showroom. Only one lead in 5 years has resulted in a project.

We have found the Houzz Pro site frustrating to work with. The options for answers are limited and don't fit the actual scenario. We often have to settle on an answer that is not the case because the right answer isn't available. We've been told the Concierge tried to reach us by phone but there we have not gotten those calls. There's an automated email that goes out when you select Lead Quality that absolutely should not go out. I retired a lead and found out an automated email when to the prospect right away! Totally inappropriate!

Houzz is the premier online resource for both homeowners and all those who serve them to meet, collaborate, and educate themselves.

Houzz has elevated both the knowledge level of our clients, and our ability to service them.

As a longtime Houzz user and recent convert to Pro+, I've been very pleased with the level of service offered by our Pro representative, Brooke Willis. Regular calls (2x/month) keep me apprised of how effective our advertising is, as well as tips on how to make our profile more effective in reaching potential customers.

The service is certainly not inexpensive, but good investments rarely are. Strongly recommend!

I have had a professional profile with Houzz for over 6 years now and have received a lot of benefits from leads to the free website. My volume of leads have not always been consistent, but they're generally a better quality than more generic home-improvement lead services. When Houzz acquired Ivy I was very excited about all of the project management tools. I'm sorry to say it has been a bit of a disaster. The integration is so buggy and the tool itself is missing so many essential elements (like the ability to log project notes?), that I had to completely backtrack and drop using it almost all together. That definitely cost me time and the confidence of a few of my clients.
