Local SEO for UK locksmiths. Map Pack rankings across every town you serve, 24/7 hours schema, Locksmith-specific LocalBusiness markup. The same playbook running for Mr Unlocks since 22 May 2026.
Three reasons most locksmith sites are invisible at 11pm.
Hours markup mismatch
Your site shows 9-to-5. Your GBP shows 24/7. Your schema shows neither. Google sees the conflict and excludes you from the late-night Map Pack. Most locksmith sites have this exact issue. Fixing the NAP and hours mismatch is week-one work.
One page for 15 towns
You cover Welling, Abbey Wood, Bexley, Erith, Dartford, Greenwich. Your site has one /services page. Google has nothing to rank for "auto locksmith Erith" specifically. Each town needs a unique-content page or you lose those searches to a competitor who built them.
Generic LocalBusiness schema
Schema.org has a specific Locksmith subtype with structured fields for service area, hours and price range. Most locksmith sites either skip schema entirely or use generic LocalBusiness with broken markup. The Locksmith subtype is what tells Google "rank this site in the locksmith category", not the plumber category.
