Pages
Google profile
Choose "Locksmith" as your main category. Accurate hours matter more here than almost anywhere: show the hours you really answer.
Ask AI
People now also ask ChatGPT and Google's AI questions like "Locksmith open now in Claremont". The same work that gets you onto Google's map is what those tools read before they name a business: a clear site, the same details everywhere and real reviews.
Trust
People are letting a stranger into their home or car. Show your real business name and registration, vehicle photos and a named person.
What's included
Every plan covers the five things that decide whether Google shows your business to people nearby.
Having a new website built? SEO goes in from the start, not added afterwards.
The first six months
| When | The work | What you'll notice |
|---|---|---|
| Month 1 | Audit, technical fixes, listings, Google profile tidy up | A faster site and correct details everywhere |
| Months 2 and 3 | Main service pages rewritten, first new area pages live | Your site showing for more searches, lower down at first |
| Months 4 to 6 | More pages, links and content, steady improvements | Movement onto page one for some searches, more calls from Google |
The steps show work piling up, not a promised ranking. Every month's report lists exactly what was done, so you never pay for work you can't see.
