After a one year commitment to Houzz Pro at a cost of $400 per month our design firm netted 35 clicks or referrals.
For comparison, Google sent over 3,500 people to us. Linked-in with my basic profile sent over 700 distinct enquiries.
Houzz then automatically renewed us on a monthly basis with NO advance warning or any follow up.
On your Houzz-Pro dashboard there is no details of your current subscription costs, end date, pending renewal date.
Nothing.
This is also no way to cancel on your Houzz Pro dashboard. To do this you have to contact your "Success Manager" and personally speak to them one month BEFORE your next payment to cancel.
Houzz and Houzz Pro is definitely not worth the money and with this kind of business model I would rate them as a very dishonest and poor company to do business with.
When we enquired about the lack of results during our "Pro" campaign we were told "add more pictures, add more reviews, add an article"....basically...give us more high quality, free content that we can use on our site for free.
If you have a basic profile then great. The Houzz Pro is a scam, just like the "best of Houzz" badges they give to almost everyone so you promote Houzz on your website.
Just to check, I used a VPN and a private browser to see if my own company would be featured for a relevant search I did for my area and we were not.
Houzz Pro was a rip-off for us.
