Bravo. The addition of the 'Service Area' feature will help legitimate locksmiths accurately represent their business coverage while not having to reveal their home address for their mobile business. Though we I believe Google still has a few simple modifications to make, such as forcing the post card validation for the category of locksmith, these recent changes go a long way to helping improving the entire category of Locks and Locksmiths. Way to go Google! Rob Reynolds Cpl,Cps,Cal I’d like to recognize Google’s ‘clean up’ of this category. 100′s of thousands of ‘fake locksmiths’ Places listings have been deleted over the past year.
