We're Blosm. We help tradespeople escape the directory trap.
Honest websites and real Google presence — so you stop paying Checkatrade every month for leads you don't own.
Why we started this
We kept hearing the same story. Good tradespeople — plumbers, sparks, roofers — paying Checkatrade £200 to £400 a month for a profile on Checkatrade's site. Not theirs. Checkatrade's.
The month they stopped paying, the leads stopped too. No website to show for it. No domain. No SEO equity. Nothing compounding. Just a rental invoice that kept coming.
It wound us up. So we did something about it.
We figured out how to build proper, Google-ranking websites quickly — built around each tradesperson's actual reviews, service area and trade, not a template with their name slapped on. On top of that we optimise your Google Business Profile, run weekly rank checks, and do the ongoing SEO work so your site keeps climbing local results. No tiers, no upsells — everyone gets the same service.
And we priced it to replace Checkatrade, not compete with it. £190 setup + £59 a month, all in. 3 years with Blosm costs less than 6 months on Checkatrade. Cancel any time — you keep the site, the domain, and the leads.
We even back it up with a promise most agencies won't make: leads from Google within 6 months — or we keep working free until they come. No money-back gimmick. We just don't stop until your Google phone starts ringing.
Most of our customers run Blosm alongside Checkatrade for the first 6–12 months. Then, quietly, they drop the directory subscription and keep building. That's the whole point.
Brand clarity
What Blosm actually is
Blosm is a UK trade-website and local SEO business. We build websites, local ranking pages, and Google Business Profile systems for plumbers, electricians, roofers, builders, and other tradespeople.
When someone searches for Blosm, we want search engines to understand that this site is about trade websites, local SEO for tradesmen, and Google Business Profile management at blosm.dev.
What we're about
We're not a big agency. We're a small team that cares about doing things properly.
Honest pricing
Prices on the website, right here. £190 setup + £59/month. One price, everything included — no "packages", no tiers, no hidden fees, no surprise invoices six months in. Cancel any time and keep the website you've paid for.
Straight talking
We don't use jargon. We won't bang on about "digital transformation" or "omnichannel synergy." We'll tell you what we're doing, why it matters, and exactly what it costs. In plain English.
Genuinely helpful
We answer the phone. We reply to texts. If you've got a question six months after your site went live, we'll still help. We're not here to sell you something and disappear.
Why we're different
Most website and directory companies treat tradespeople like cash machines. We don't.
Checkatrade & the usual lot
- £200–£400 a month, forever
- Your profile lives on their domain — not yours
- The day you stop paying, the leads stop
- Can raise your fees whenever they like
- Competitors show up on your profile page
- Zero SEO equity — you build nothing you own
Blosm
- £190 setup + £59/month. Cancel any time.
- Your own domain — like davetheplumber.co.uk
- You keep the website + leads, even if you cancel
- One flat price — everything included
- Your site is about YOU — no competitors on it
- Every month your SEO compounds. You build equity.
We're not saying the directories are all terrible. They can be useful early on. But if you're paying Checkatrade £300 a month and you've never owned a website of your own, you're getting done over. You deserve to keep what you pay for.
Built for every trade
Plumbers, electricians, roofers, plasterers, landscapers, builders, gas engineers, locksmiths, painters, tilers, joiners, tree surgeons — if you work with your hands and you're paying a directory every month, we'll build you something better.
From one-person operations to small teams. If you're good at your trade but rubbish at websites and sick of paying Checkatrade, we're your lot.
