What Zome is for: a note from its founder, Saliem Talash

I founded Zome. This is the one ZELR note about my own company, so read it as a description from the inside, not an independent review. Everything below comes from Zome's public site, checked on 7 October 2026, with a link to the page behind each part. Zome publishes no customer results yet, and this note invents none.

What Zome is

Zome is the growth platform for trades and home service businesses. Its site names ten of them: plumbing, heating and cooling, electrical, roofing, landscaping, cleaning, painting, pest control, garage doors and handyman work, and it says Zome works for most home services beyond those.

The problem it starts from is set out on its story page. Someone with a leaking pipe or a cold house picks up a phone and searches for help, and too often the best crew in town never gets the call. Not because the work is worse, but because nobody built that crew the tools that national brands, with their own marketers and engineers, take for granted.

Zome's answer is to give a small crew the same advantages. The site uses the example of a five-person crew and lists what it means: a website that books jobs, a Google presence that ranks, reviews that keep coming, and follow-up that brings customers back.

The four jobs it covers

Zome groups its tools into four parts. Its home page describes them as "Four teams of AI tools, built for service businesses and working together from the first search to the next booking."

Get found

The aim is to show up first wherever customers look. This part covers AI websites, local SEO, the Google Business Profile, a reviews engine and listings management, so the website, the Google profile, the reviews and the business details elsewhere work as one. Start at Get found.

Win the job

This part turns a search into a booked job. It covers online booking, instant price ranges given before the phone rings, a text back for every missed call, one inbox for every new request, an AI receptionist that answers calls, and proposals that give each customer three options. Start at Win the job.

Keep customers

This part runs after the job is done: email and text marketing that brings past customers back, maintenance plans, referral rewards, a customer portal with the business's own name on it, and job updates so customers know when the crew is coming. Start at Keep customers.

Run your business

The Zome app puts requests, reviews and results in one place, with reporting on where jobs come from and a plain-English summary every month. Scheduling and dispatch, payments and a field app are listed on the site as coming soon, so they are not part of Zome yet. Start at Run your business.

The free AI report

The easiest way to see what Zome looks at is its free AI report. It is free, needs no sign-up and takes about a minute: type the business name, and add the website and town for a sharper report.

The report checks public sources: the business's website and, when they are connected, its Google profile, its reviews and nearby businesses. Checks it could not run are shown as such rather than guessed. What comes back is a score with its coverage, the highest-priority findings and practical next steps, across four areas: getting found, getting booked, getting trusted, and who ranks above you. It reads public information only, and nothing is posted on the business's behalf. A sample report, labelled as an example, shows the format.

What it promises

Zome's Why Zome page opens with "No fake reviews. Just a better way to grow." It says Zome has no customer reviews yet and will not invent any, and it puts six promises in writing instead:

• Honest reporting. Every number in a report comes from real data; no invented results, rankings or reviews.
• You own your stuff. Website content, photos, domain and customer list belong to the business.
• Fair review requests. Every customer gets the same request, with no filtering out of unhappy customers and no paid or fake reviews.
• Your prices, your rules. Zome never changes a price without the owner.
• People you can reach. Founding partners work directly with the team building Zome.
• Earn it every month. If it is not working, Zome wants to hear it first.

Where Zome is today

Zome is onboarding founding partners in trades and home services and building alongside them. Its site says plainly that some features roll out in stages, and labels its photography as illustrative. A business that wants to help shape it early can apply as a founding partner through the demo page.

How to reach Zome

Zome's contact page gives two ways in, and the report above is a third:

• A free demo. A 20-minute call where the team runs your report with you and shows what it would fix first. Book it on the demo page.
• A message. Use the form on the contact page; a real person reads every message and replies by email, usually within one business day. Zome is also on Instagram as @zome.
