Fast Eddys Keys Express To Be Featured in Google’s Home Services Program

Fast Eddys Keys Express is proud to announce that we have been accepted into Google’s New Home Services program.

Starting later this month the page you will see when you do a search for a locksmith in Hennepin County will look different.  And we are happy to report that our business will benefit as a result.

Google will soon be launching its Home Services program in Minneapolis after many months of testing in California and several other cities across the United States.

Unlike the traditional Google Adwords program and the Google 3 pack, participants in the Home Services program first had to be invited by Google to participate and then pass a rigorous accepatance process.

We are pleased to announce that Fast Eddys Keys Express has been invited and has passed their criteria and will be one of 5 Locksmiths accepted into the program in Hennepin County.  We see this as a vindication of sorts and a reward for our many years of providing the community with fast, fairly priced and competent locksmith services.

Certainly helping us in gaining acceptance into the program was our sterling reputation as expressed on many different review sites and in particular on Google itself.  Our 4.9 star rating from over 160 different reviewers did not hurt out application.

We take great pride in the tremednous support we have recieved from our customers. And accept the challenge this new recognition provides us.  The Home Services program requires us to sollicit somewhat more detailed reviews from our customers, on a dedicated review system set up specifically for the Home Services program.

The new review site is at https://g.co/servicepro/fasteddyskeysexpress

We encourage all of our recent customers to go ahead and post a review now, as they will help us with the new service.

When the new service launches later this month a Carosel will appear on the top of the search results listing a rotating number of approved providers. For locksmith related searches we will be one of the options.

For some time, we have been disappointed that many of the Google Ads that appeared on the top of the pages, were from scammers and lead generation sites that did not actually provide professional locksmith services. As professionals in the area, we know of many people who were taken advantage of by unscrupuous vendors who gave our indsutry a bad name.

So we are very happy to see this change, not only because it will allow us to serve more people by being more prominent on the search results, but by virtue of the fact that the scammers will hopefully be forced out of the market.

The key motivation for a locksmith is serving peoples personal security needs. This move by Google will help do that and we are very excitied about the change and our ability to participate in the new program.

Fast Eddys Keys Express Strives to be the Best Edina Locksmith

Best Edina Locksmith: A Goal and Community Fast Eddys Keys Express Strives to Serve

Fast Eddys Keys Express has been serving the Edina MN area for over 30 years. Though technically based in Minneapolis, Fast Eddy has been active in Edina since day one.

“We do a lot of work there,” says Edward Mann, Fast Eddys” owner.

We do both commercial and residential work throughout the area.  The area’s prosperity has one dark side, it attracts thieves looking for an easy buck.

It’s bad enough when thieves attempt to break into one of the areas many fine restaurants or merchants. It can be a whole lot worse, when the break in is in a family’s home, particularly when the burglars intrude on folks at home during the crime.

“Unfortunately, we have witnessed some sad situations over the years,” Eddy relates.

“Prevention is the keyword,” says Eddy, who often is called afterwards to replace inadequate locks. We can do a whole house or premises security review and prevent most intrusions, “too often we get called after the fact.”

Eddy notes that Edina MN has a long and storied history as community. He recently added to his web site a series of acticles celebrating the Edina shopping opportunities as well as its Schools and recreation opportunites including its wonderful Golf courses.

The area has many fine neighborhoods including its early Morningside neighborhood.

Commercial Locksmith: Strong, Reliable & Secure

101 Positive Reviews Can’t All Be Wrong

Fast Eddys Keys Express Gets Over 100 Positive Reviews On Google

This weekend, Fast Eddys Keys Express was gratified to receive our #100 and #101 Positive Review on Google.  Sporting an overall Star rating of 4.8, Fast Eddys is by far the most highly respected Locksmith serving the Minneapolis area.

When a small business has a handful of reviews, you never know if you can trust them. After all, they could  well be from staff, family or friends.

When you get 20, 30 or 40 you start taking them seriously.

When you hit the century mark, and they are vitually all 5 star ratings you can be pretty darn confident you are dealing with a true professional.

This is all the more important when searching for a security professional such as a locksmith.  Know and tusting the locksmith who cuts the keys to your business and or family home is serious business.

When you are in trouble because you locked your keys in the car, you want to know the person you call is not a one of the unfortunately many scam artists who quote one price online or on the phone and then extort you once they are on the scene.

Fast Eddy has built his reputation over more than 30 years of diligent honest effort serving the Minneapolis area.  When you call, you can be assured of polite professional service conducted expertly and at a reasonable fee.

Here are a list of some of the most recent reviews to give a sample of what Fast Eddys Customers have to say about him.

Fast Eddy Follows His Own Advice

Security Starts With You! So Fast Eddy Stepped Up and Made a Change.

Do as I say, not as I do…is an all to easy way of living life. But when in comes to personal safety, it can be dangerous.  That’s why Minneapolis Locksmith Fast Eddy made a change completely unrelated to his locksmith business.

Recently, he changed the url of his website from an http:// to a https://

This move adds security to all data that may be transmitted over the site.

As he was quoted in a Minneapolis Star Tribune article, “I always tell people to upgrade the locks on their homes and businesses, before someone breaks in. Same goes for websites.” “I wanted to add an extra layer of security to my website, for my own and my customers peace of mind.”

Security is an important concept for Eddy. Taken aside, he will recount numerous times when he has been called to a home or business after a break in. “It can be heartbreaking.”

The change itself wasn’t that difficult, but did require a conversation with his hosting company and some other changes to make sure the new site retained the viewership his old url had accumulated over the years.

Perhaps the biggest difference is that Fast Eddy needed to get some new business cards created with the new url: https://ourlocksmith.com on them.

 

 

 

And of course, making the move was worth bragging about. Afterall, Fast Eddy does follow what he preaches, at least as far as security is concerned. So he sent out a press release advertsing the fact.

In addition to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, it was picked up by American Public Media, The Sun News, and Metro West as well as over 200 other press outlets.

5 Summer Vacation Security Tips

Yipee! It’s time for some fun in the sun. Now that schools out and the weather is warm, Minnesotans are flocking to lake cabins, vacation trips and other outdoor venues.

Unfortunately, it is also a great time for thieves and other low lifes.

As such it is also a good time to revisit the basics of vacation security.

1. Pause your mail delivery, to avoid accumulations that alert burglars that you may be away and vulnerable.
2. But away any ladders or other items that may prove useful to intruders seeking unlawful access to your house.
3. Install a timer for your lights to turn them on and off simulating active household activity. A dark house tends to be an empty house.
4. While you may want to share the good news with friends and relatives about your upcoming trip on Facebook or other social media, you comments may well be seen by some you do not want to know. Be sure to share the good news in person or on the phone, not social media.
5. And finally, the simple act of making sure windows are closed and locked as well as doors is a simple but too often overlooked necessity.

As a professional locksmith I have often been called to a home or office, “after the fact.” I have seen how devastated people can be due to an unlawful intrusion and it breaks my heart.

I always encourage people to be sure they have good locks and superior hardware on their doors. Sometimes people listen, sometimes they don’t but eventually swish they had.

For peace of mind, I invite you to contact me to arrange for a security inspection of your home. In the meanwhile, I hope these simple but essential tips for vacation security help you have an enjoyable vacation.

Call us at 612-822-3773 for all your residential locksmith needs.
