Houzz Home Services Hub

Houzz Home Services Hub scrapes Houzz professional directory pages and returns each listing as a structured JSON record. Give it one or more directory URLs, set how many professionals you want per URL, and it handles pagination automatically. No manual browsing, no copy-paste. You get clean, structured data ready to drop into a spreadsheet, CRM, or data pipeline.

Each record includes business name, phone number, full address, GPS coordinates, star rating, review count, Houzz profile URL, social media links, verified license status, and badge details. The actor covers every professional category on Houzz, across any city or region in the US and internationally.

What you can do with it

Lead generation for home services Pull verified contractor, designer, and specialist contact details for any city. Filter by category — general contractors, interior designers, landscapers, electricians, plumbers — and get a ready-to-use list with phone numbers and addresses.

Market research and competitive intelligence Count how many professionals operate in a given market. Compare review volumes, star ratings, and verified license rates across cities. Spot underserved categories or locations with low competition.

CRM and database enrichment Populate your CRM with accurate business names, phone numbers, mailing addresses, and social profiles. The structured JSON output maps directly to common CRM fields.

SEO and local search analysis Identify which professionals are earning "Best of Houzz" awards and how many hires they report. Track badge distribution to understand what drives visibility in local home service search.

Sales prospecting Find businesses that have low review counts or no social media presence — common indicators of companies that have not yet invested in digital marketing and may be receptive to outreach.

Academic and industry research Study the structure of the home services market: geographic density of professionals, category distribution, licensing rates, and average ratings by region.

How it works

1. Accepts one or more Houzz professionals directory page URLs as input
2. Fetches the first page of each URL
3. Parses structured business data embedded in the page (name, phone, address, geo, social links)
4. Reads ratings, review counts, badge text, and business summaries from the HTML
5. Follows pagination automatically by appending page numbers to the URL until maxItems is reached for that URL or no more results are available
6. Pushes each record to the dataset as it is collected — results appear in real time

Each Houzz directory page lists up to 15 professionals. To collect 150 professionals from a single URL, the actor fetches 10 pages automatically.

Tips

Getting more results from one location If a category has thousands of listings in a city, you can increase maxItems up to 1000 per URL. The actor pages through results until your limit is hit.

Scraping multiple categories at once Add one URL per category to startUrls. The actor processes them in sequence and collects maxItems professionals from each.

Using filters Apply filters on houzz.com before copying the URL — rating, project type, budget, language, and business highlights are all encoded in the URL and carry through to the scraper.

Coordinates for mapping The latitude and longitude fields are populated from Houzz's structured data and are present for most US listings. Use them to build radius filters or plot results on a map.
