Stop paying Checkatrade £300 a month for leads you don't own.

We promise you'll start getting leads from Google within 6 months. If you haven't, we keep working on it free until you do — no extra charge, no time limit, no small print. Our website, our Google Business Profile optimisation, our SEO work — ours to fix. That's the deal.

We build you a custom Google-optimised website from your existing Checkatrade and Google Business Profile data, register your own domain in your name, set up SSL and hosting, write 6–10 service pages targeted at your local area, and audit and optimise your Google Business Profile. Your first month is included, so the first monthly charge lands on day 31.

Because every month you pay Checkatrade, they keep the leads and the SEO equity. You never build anything you own. A Blosm website and Google Business Profile are assets that compound — the longer you have them, the more traffic they get, the less you need directories. You can keep using Checkatrade alongside us for a while, and most of our customers do, but most are off directories within 12–18 months.

Look closer at the maths. £159 + VAT works out to ≈£191/month, and the '10 leads' is a cap — once you hit it, their rep admitted 'the other people will take priority' and your profile drops. That's £19 per lead before anyone books. And if your area is short on demand, you can't even join. Your own Google-ranked website and Google Business Profile don't cap you and don't push you down when a competitor pays more. A single extra booked job pays for a year of Blosm.

Every pound Checkatrade spends on advertising builds their SEO, their brand recognition, and their domain authority — not yours. It drives customers to Checkatrade.com, where you're listed next to every competitor in your postcode. When Blosm builds your site and optimises your Google Business Profile, every piece of content, every review, every ranking belongs to you. If you cancel tomorrow, the site is still yours. If you cancel Checkatrade tomorrow, you disappear.

On Checkatrade, every call your customer makes opens with a 'this call is from Checkatrade' announcement before you answer. The caller ID still shows their real number to you — but the first thing they hear is a branding reminder that trains them to remember where they got you from. On your Blosm site, customers ring your own number with no ads or announcements. Next time they need you, they've got your name saved — not Checkatrade's.

Yes. No contracts, no lock-in. You can cancel your monthly subscription anytime from your portal or by replying STOP to any text. You keep the website and the domain — they were yours from day one.

The monthly isn't optional — the £59/month keeps your site hosted, SSL secure, your domain renewed, and the SEO and Google Business Profile work going. It's still far below typical directory spend, and it's the part that replaces £200–£400/month of Checkatrade spend over time.

No problem. Extra changes are £29 each, or £50 for a bundle of 3. Most customers never need more than the one that's included — a new service page, a gallery update, new opening hours. If you're mid-rebrand and need the lot redone, give us a shout and we'll sort a bundle.

Yes — every Blosm site is built Google-first: proper schema markup, local SEO, fast load times, mobile-optimised, location and service landing pages. Most customers start showing up on Google for their trade and area within 2–6 weeks, and full local ranking builds over 3–6 months. If it hasn't happened by month 6, we keep working free until it does.
