For locksmiths
Blinx gives a locksmith one mobile page where someone locked out can call you, see whether you are working, check your prices and send you a message, each in one tap. It costs $5 a month or $46.80 a year, plus VAT at 20% for UK businesses, after a 15-day trial with no card.
Example page
Brindlegate Locksmiths is made up, to show what a page for locksmiths looks like. Scroll it and tap it.
Open the example pageLocksmith work often starts with someone standing outside a door: locked out, keys lost, a key snapped in the lock. They search on a phone, often late in the day, and call the first locksmith who looks real and available.
The rest is planned: new locks after moving in, better security after a break-in down the road, a landlord changing the locks between tenants. Those customers have time to compare prices and read what others say.
In both cases the customer wants a real local business with a phone that will be answered, and some idea of the cost before the van arrives.
The Call button stays in the bar along the bottom of the screen, which is what someone standing on their doorstep needs.
Your hours show whether you are working at this moment. If you take calls late into the evening, set those hours so the page says so.
A lockout, a lock change, a uPVC door mechanism, listed with what each costs, so the customer is not guessing on the doorstep.
Write the towns and districts you cover, so a customer can see you will come to them.
Short lines under your name, such as being insured or vetted, sit where customers look first.
Pick your listing when you sign up, and your hours, number, photos and rating fill in.
Four moments from a working day, each beside the part of the example page it uses.
Keys left inside, phone in hand: the customer finds your page, sees whether you are still working and taps Call now. Your number never needs copying, and the call is one tap from anywhere on the page.

Your price list shows a lockout, a lock change and a new door mechanism with what each costs. The customer knows roughly what to expect before you arrive, which is the question they would otherwise ring to ask.

Someone moving in at the weekend asks for the locks to be changed before they do. They choose the lock change, pick a day and a time from your hours, and the request waits for you to confirm it on Pro.

Your About text names the towns and districts you cover, near the top of the page. A customer can see straight away that you work in their area before they ring.

Yes. Write it in your About text and as a trust point, and set your opening hours to the hours you answer, so the page shows open while you are working. There is no separate setting for emergency hours, so keep your hours to the times you will pick up.
Yes, if you list them. Your price list shows each job with its price, such as a lockout or a lock change, and you can use 'from' prices where the lock decides the cost. Switch the section off if you would rather quote every job.
Yes, in your About text. There is no separate list of areas, so name the towns and districts you work in, and change it whenever your patch changes. Customers read it near the top of the page.
Yes, as trust points under your name and in your About text. Blinx shows what you write and does not check it, so keep to what you hold.
Yes. They pick a day and a time from your hours and send a request, which waits until you confirm it in your diary on Pro. Give a lock change its own length so it shows there for as long as it takes.
Yes, once you connect your Google listing: your star rating and the first three reviews Google shows, in Google's order, with a link to read the rest on Google. Blinx shows them as Google provides them and never edits or chooses them.
