🚀 Top 3 in local pack — “locksmith near me”
Sound familiar?
Customers can’t hire you if they can’t find you.
When someone searches “locksmith near me”, Google shows three businesses — and they get the calls. Everyone else is invisible.
🛻
The locksmith business down the road shows up in Google’s top 3 for every local search, so customers call them first. The difference? 80 reviews and a complete profile — you have 12. You never even know you lost the job.
📱
You mean to ask for a review after every job. But the moment passes, you’re onto the next call, and it never gets done.
⏰
You know you should be on social media. But between jobs, invoices, and the family — when? It just doesn’t happen.
💳
You’ve paid $79/mo for a marketing tool that did nothing — and the contract auto-renewed before you could cancel. You’re done with that.
🚫
You’re renting leads from Angi or Thumbtack — and the day you stop paying, they stop coming. The reviews and Google profile you build with Tradeloper are yours to keep.
How it works
Three steps to the top of your local map.
No training. No laptop. No fuss. 10 seconds after each job is all it takes.

✨ What makes us different: a full local rank heatmap across your whole service area at one flat price — no per-scan credits. Your best reviews turned into ready-to-post Facebook & Instagram captions, not just Google. And it’s built trade-first — mobile, one-tap, no marketing manager required.
💡 Why the gap? Most other review apps price for teams and pass an agency-style markup on to you. Tradeloper is built lean for the one-van operator and sold direct — so the same core job costs from $19 instead of hundreds.
Competitor pricing based on publicly listed plans as of June 2026 and may vary. Feature comparisons reflect core review-collection and social-posting functionality.

Why it matters
Why Google reviews decide which locksmiths get the call.
When someone is locked out of their car in a parking lot or standing on their porch at midnight without a key, they grab their phone and search "locksmith near me" and call the first trustworthy name they see. Because most people only need a locksmith once every few years, they have no regular guy, so they pick almost entirely on Google reviews and how close you are. Tradeloper helps you get found for those searches: it asks every customer for a Google review by email after the job is done, tracks where you rank on the local map for "locksmith near me" across your service area, and shows you the profile fixes that push you higher. It also turns your rekeys, lockouts, and lock installs into social posts that keep your name in front of your town. More 5-star reviews and a higher map rank mean the panicked person on the curb calls you, not the out-of-town call center.
People only call a locksmith in a crisis, so they pick on reviews and distance alone.
Unlike a plumber or a shop they visit every year, most of your customers have never needed you before and have no referral to go on. When they are locked out or just got broken into, they open Google, and the locksmith with the most recent 5-star reviews sitting at the top of the map gets the call. If you are not there, the job goes to whoever is, even if your work is better. Tradeloper gets you the reviews and the rank so you are the obvious choice in that moment.
The trade is full of fake listings and bait-and-switch call centers, and it makes honest locksmiths look guilty by association.
Customers have heard the horror stories, the $19 ad that turns into a $250 bill, the "local" number that routes to an out-of-state dispatcher who sends an unlicensed subcontractor. That fear is your biggest obstacle. A wall of real, named, local 5-star reviews is the fastest way to prove you are a real person in their town who charges what you quote. Tradeloper makes collecting that proof automatic instead of something you always forget to ask for.
Most locksmith jobs are one-and-done, so your reputation has to do the repeat business for you.
A lockout or a rekey is usually a single visit, and that customer may not need you again for years. Your growth depends on being the name strangers find and property managers remember. Every completed job that turns into a public review and a higher map rank compounds, and Tradeloper's job pins and AI social posts keep your recent work visible so the next person searching sees a busy, trusted locksmith, not a quiet listing.
Yes, especially after an emergency. Someone you rescued from a midnight lockout or a break-in is grateful and relieved, and that is the best moment to ask. The problem is timing and remembering to ask at all when you are already driving to the next call. Tradeloper sends the review request by email automatically right after you close the job, so you capture that goodwill while it is fresh instead of losing it. SMS review requests are coming soon.
Two ways. It builds up the steady flow of fresh 5-star Google reviews that Google rewards with higher local ranking, and on the Pro plan it tracks exactly where you land on the map across your whole service area with a geo-grid heatmap, so you can see the neighborhoods where you are invisible and fix them. It also scores your Google Business Profile and tells you the specific changes that move you up the map pack.
That is exactly why it is worth it. When customers only need you once and have no regular locksmith, they choose entirely on what they see on Google, reviews and rank. You do not get a second chance from a referral, so being the top, best-reviewed result is the whole game. Tradeloper is built to win that first-impression search when someone is standing there with their phone out.
Starter is $19/mo ($179/yr) for review collection and daily Google review tracking. Pro is $49/mo ($449/yr) and adds local rank tracking, the geo-grid rank heatmap, Google Business Profile scoring, job pins, and AI social posts. Plus is $99/mo ($899/yr) and auto-posts your work to Google and Facebook. It is self-serve, no contract, cancel anytime, with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
No, collecting reviews is only half of it. The other half is getting found: Tradeloper tracks your local map rank, shows a geo-grid heatmap of where you rank across town, scores your Google Business Profile, and turns your jobs into social posts. Plenty of tools ask for reviews. Tradeloper connects those reviews to actually ranking higher and winning the search when someone types "locksmith near me".
Yes — signing up is free and we don’t ask for a card. You get a 14-day free trial with full access: add customers and send real Google review requests right away, so you can watch it actually work before you pay. When the trial ends, pick a plan ($19/month Starter or $49/month Pro) to keep sending — and every paid plan is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee, cancel anytime in two clicks.
Most members get their first new Google review within 1–2 weeks of signing up. Review volume builds steadily from there — members who add customers consistently after every job typically see 10–20 new reviews within the first 60 days.
No. Email review requests are included in your subscription — no per-message fees, no surprise overages, no matter how many customers you add.
Most aren’t. The request is short, friendly, uses your business name, and reads like it came from you — not a marketing blast. It’s a single polite ask with a one-tap link and an easy opt-out. If you’ve already done good work, customers are usually happy to help.
The email review request arrives in their inbox with a one-tap link — many older customers tap it from a laptop at home. A polite follow-up goes out a few days later if they haven’t left a review yet. If a customer has no email, just ask them in person on your next visit.
Add them whenever you remember. The customer never knows when you set up the request — they just get a review request from you. Whether you add them 10 minutes after the job or 3 days later, it sends as soon as you tap Send. Most owners batch the day’s customers in the evening over a coffee.
Yes. As long as you have the customer’s name and email (or mobile number) and they’ve agreed to be contacted, you can add them. Plenty of Tradeloper users run mixed residential/commercial books. Use the Notes field on each customer to track which side they’re on if it matters for your workflow.
94% of reviews from Tradeloper members are 4 or 5 stars — because we ask right after a job well done, when customers are happiest. You can also pause review requests for any individual customer in one tap from your customer list. We never filter who gets asked (that’s illegal under the FTC’s Consumer Review Rule), but timing matters enormously.
More questions +
No. Your customer gets a normal email with a link to Google. They tap it and leave a review — no app, no account, nothing to download. Works on any phone.
Yes. If a customer hired you and shared their email and agreed to be contacted, you can ask them for a review. Every Tradeloper request includes a one-tap opt-out as required by US law.
Review requests go out by email the moment you tap Send, with a polite follow-up a few days later if the customer hasn’t left a review yet — auto-skipped once they’ve tapped the link or reviewed.
Google reviews are the focus — they have the biggest impact on local search ranking. We don’t support Yelp because Yelp explicitly prohibits asking customers for reviews and penalizes businesses that do.
Most review tools send generic bulk emails that land in spam, or make customers log in to leave a review. Tradeloper sends a personal, branded request straight from your business — with a one-tap link to your Google profile and no login. It reads like it came from you, not a marketing platform.
No. Every request has a one-tap unsubscribe link. When a customer opts out, we automatically mark them so they won’t be contacted again, and you see that status on your customer list. Opt-outs are normal — they don’t reflect on you, and they aren’t complaints to any regulator.
It reads as if it came from you. The review request carries your business name (“thanks for choosing [your business]”), not ours — customers don’t see the word “Tradeloper” anywhere unless you put it there yourself. It arrives by email, built for high deliverability.
No. There’s no phone number to buy and nothing to install. Add your Google review link, add a customer, and tap Send — the email goes out signed with your business name right away. Setup takes about 5 minutes, all from your phone.
Never. Customer emails and phone numbers are stored only to send your review request and follow-up. We don’t sell, share, or use them for anything else. We don’t do ads. You can delete a customer (and their data) any time, and you can export the whole list as CSV from Settings.
Starter ($19/month) covers the essentials for collecting reviews: email review requests with automatic follow-ups, daily Google review tracking, negative-review alerts, and click tracking. Pro ($49/month) adds everything that gets you found and grows the business — local rank tracking + heatmap, Google & Facebook profile scores, job pins, AI social & photo posts, the reviews widget, posting replies directly to Google, reactivation & batch send, and more. Most solo trades start on Starter and upgrade as they grow.
Go to Settings → Cancel. One click, no phone call, no email forms. Your account stays active until the end of the billing period you already paid for — we don’t lock you out the moment you cancel like some tools do.
Most of the tools built for local businesses are sold through agencies and resellers, so an agency-style markup gets baked into the price — that’s why they land at $84–233/month. Tradeloper is built lean for the one-van operator and sold direct to you, so there’s no middleman markup and pricing starts from $19. You still get the core job done: collect more 5-star Google reviews, and get found on Google.
Get found on Google — starting today.
Create your account, add your Google review link, add your first customer. Tradeloper sends the request and turns your best reviews into posts — so you show up and win the call.
