## How this service works

Houzz home-improvement professionals of one category near a US city (e.g. general-contractors, interior-designers-and-decorators, home-builders, painters): name, categories, rating (0-5), review count, projects on Houzz, cost estimate, address, phone, distance, coordinates, sponsored flag and profile URL; 15 organic results per page (plus Houzz sponsored ones, flagged) in Houzz order, and the total count.
