Is AI recommending your locksmith business?
People now ask an AI assistant for a locksmith and get a short list of names. We check whether you are one of them, who gets named instead, and what to fix.
Our Astoria study, October 2026
Questions your customers ask AI
- Emergency locksmith open 24 hours near me
- Locked out, who should I call?
- How much does a locksmith cost in [your neighborhood]?
- Car key replacement near me
- Licensed locksmith, how do I avoid scams?
Every audit uses 20 questions like these, written for your city and services. 18 never mention your name.
What we usually find
Published prices get repeated
For a 24-hour emergency in Astoria, Perplexity’s #1 was the locksmith that publishes its evening and overnight prices.
Price questions often name nobody
Asked what a locksmith costs in Astoria, four of the five assistants named no locksmith at all, only price ranges.
Your license answers the scam question
Asked how to avoid scams, Perplexity told people to check the NYC license and named no locksmith. Google AI Mode warned about out-of-state call centers.
What the audit fixes
One name, the same everywhere: Google, Bing, Apple, Yelp and directories, with the streets and areas you cover.
So assistants read your service area, hours and phone without guessing.
A plain-language FAQ with real prices for lockouts, rekeys and new locks, and your NYC license number.
A simple plan so new reviews name the job and the neighborhood.

Questions
Why should a locksmith check what AI says?
Because a few names get most of the picks. In our Astoria test, five AI assistants named 41 locksmiths in 50 answers, and one company was the #1 pick in 23 of them. Asked what a locksmith costs, four of the five named no locksmith at all.
Will this conflict with my marketing agency?
No. We audit what AI says and hand you or your agency a prioritized fix list. Most fixes are listings, schema and FAQ content your agency can apply.
Do you need access to my accounts?
Not for the audit. We only test public AI answers and your public listings.
