Zillow Local Expert Badge
What is a Zillow Local Expert?
The Zillow Local Expert badge was created to recognize those who have made valuable contributions in a specific city or neighborhood on Zillow. Local Experts are active Zillow users who share their real estate knowledge and help others by contributing high-quality content at a local level. The more and better the contributions a user makes that relate to that city or neighborhood, the more likely an award will be granted. Users’ contributions can be seen in their profiles.
How can I tell if someone is a Local Expert?
When you see a compass icon next to the name of a city or neighborhood in a person’s Zillow Directory listing, it means they have been awarded a Local Expert badge for that area. A Local Expert section will also be displayed on their profile page.
How do I get a Local Expert badge?
You are awarded points for every contribution you make on Zillow that relates to a certain area - such as posting listings, answering Home Q&A, and submitting photos to a Neighborhood Page. If your contributions are rated “helpful” by other Zillow users, you will be awarded more points. Once you reach a certain point threshold, you will be rewarded with a Local Expert badge for that area. You can also be awarded multiple Local Expert badges if you are active in more than one area.
What can I do with the badge?
You can add the Local Expert badge to your Web site or blog to get free co-branding. When it’s clicked, your photo, contact info, and link to your site appear at the top of each Zillow page visitors see. Learn more
