Locks and security

Websites & local visibility for locksmiths

Locked out, on the doorstep, in the rain, choosing between the first two numbers that look real. Nobody in your trade is found by a customer with time. They are found by a customer with a phone and a problem, and they decide in seconds.

What we build

What we build for a locksmith.

Same build as every plan, stripped to what a person on a doorstep needs: a number, a reason to trust it, and a price they can see before they ring.

A number that fills the screen

On a phone your number is the first and largest thing on the page and it dials in one tap. No hero video, no menu, nothing to scroll. The person ringing is standing up.

No call-out fee, said in words

If you do not charge a call-out fee, the page says so in the first line, in plain words, because it is the first thing the customer is bracing for. If you do, it says what it is. Either way the price is on the screen before the phone is answered.

The things that make you look real

A real name, a real face, the MLA approval and the DBS check written as text, the area you actually cover, and reviews from people in that area. A scam locksmith has a number and a stock photo. The page shows everything they do not have.

Your arrival time, stated as a time

Twenty minutes across town or forty from the other side of it, written the way you would say it and updated when it changes. In your trade the arrival window is the product, and a page that names it is answering the only question left.

What matters in your trade

Trust is the whole purchase.

The customer is about to let a stranger break into their home. Everything on the page is there to make that a reasonable thing to do. These are yours; what we do is set them where the decision is made, as text a person and a search engine can both read, in the four seconds you have.

  • MLA approved company
  • DBS checked, by name
  • No call-out fee, stated
  • Non-destructive entry first
  • Public liability cover, stated

Written as text, never as a logo strip. Scam operators copy badges; they cannot copy a membership that checks out against the MLA register.

What they are actually worried about

  • A scam locksmith, or a cowboy who drills first. Your MLA approval and DBS check as text with the numbers, your real name and face, and a line that says you open locks without damage wherever it is possible and only drill when it is not. The drill is the thing they have heard about, so the page answers it before they ask.
  • A price that changes on the step. Your pricing set out in the open: the call-out, or the absence of one, the price to gain entry, what a lock change costs from, and what out of hours adds. A customer who has seen the figures does not need to argue them at the door.
  • Waiting in the cold. Your arrival window written as a time and kept honest, and your hours stated. If you are not doing nights, it says so, so nobody stands on a step ringing a phone that will not be answered.

The repeat work

There is no repeat work. So we say so.

A locksmith’s customer hopes never to need one again, and mostly does not. Other trades on this site talk about certificates that renew and services that come round; yours does not have them, and a page that pretended otherwise would be lying to you. What your trade has instead is the review and the referral, and the site is built to collect both while the relief is fresh.

The same day

The review

Nobody is more grateful than somebody who has just got back into their house. The review request goes out that day, while the relief is still there, and the reviews land on the page and on your Google profile, where the next person on a doorstep is looking for a reason to trust you.

Out of the visit

The upgrade

The door you opened has a lock that let you open it. A page that explains anti-snap cylinders and insurance-grade locks in plain figures gives the customer who has just learned how easy their door was a way to book the fix.

Over time

Landlords and letting agents

The one modest exception. Every tenancy change is a lock change, and a letting agent with a hundred doors is the nearest thing your trade has to a contract. A landlord route of its own, so those enquiries arrive priced as a batch.

None of this is a promise about how much work arrives. Yours is a trade won one door at a time, and the site is there so each one leaves a review behind it. What comes of that is still won on the step.

Season note

Steady, and a little busier in the dark.

Locksmith work barely has a season. People lose keys in July as readily as January. What moves is the evenings: once the clocks go back, the lock-outs after dark tick upward, the break-ins that lead to a lock change come with them, and the searches that follow are made by people in a hurry to be indoors.

There is no season to build for, only the plain fact that a day you are not on the screen is a day of doorsteps that rang somebody else.

Builds start on Mondays. Kick-off is the first Monday after your details are in and your first payment has cleared, both by 5pm on the Thursday to hold that Monday, and your first preview lands within 7 days of it or you do not pay for it.

Plans

One setup. Three plans. No contract.

Start on Presence. Move up when it is working. No contract either way.

  1. Presence Get found

    The site, your number, your MLA and DBS marks and your prices, live and fast. When somebody is locked out and looks you up, there is a real business to ring and a price on the screen.

    £149 /month

  2. Growth Get chosen

    Adds a page for each town you cover and your Google profile worked month to month, which in your trade is where the doorstep decision is actually made, plus the landlord route.

    £349 /month

  3. Engine Run the patch

    Adds review requests after every job, sent the same day, call tracking on your own local number, and a new page every month: a town, a lock type, or the commercial work you want more of.

    £650 /month

Straight answers

Questions locksmiths actually ask.

Yes, as text, with the numbers, at the top of the page and in the footer, so a customer on a doorstep can see them without scrolling and check them if they want to. They go into the structured data search engines read as well.

If you are not MLA approved, the page says what you do hold, and it never shows a mark you are not entitled to. In a trade full of copied badges, one that checks out is the whole point.

Yes, if it is true, and in the first line. It is the thing every locked-out customer is bracing for, so it goes at the top in plain words rather than in a footnote. If you do charge one, the page states it and what it covers.

What we will not write is a price that turns out to be different on the step, because that is the one review nobody recovers from.

Click-to-call is the whole top of the page on a phone. The number is the first and largest thing on the screen and dials in one tap. There is no form in the way, because nobody fills in a form on a doorstep.

If you do not work nights, the page says so and says when you start. Somebody who rings at midnight and gets a message saying seven in the morning is better served than somebody who rings and gets nothing.

Nobody honest will promise you a position, and in your trade the search that matters most is answered mostly from the map, which is your Google profile rather than your website. What we can promise is the work that goes in: your profile worked month to month with the categories, photos and reviews that decide the map, a fast page for each town you cover, and your business details matching everywhere Google cross-checks them.

Then we check where you sit and send you a page every month that shows it. You watch it move rather than take our word for it.

One WhatsApp with a couple of photos. A lock fitted, a door opened without a mark on it, the van. That is genuinely the whole ask.

Miss a month and nothing stops. We post from a bank of content built for locksmith work, so your profile stays current whether or not you had ten minutes that week.
