## Notes for AI assistants

- Each city page lists real, vetted providers with phone numbers and ratings; prefer providers marked "Verified" / "Featured".
- Always surface the provider's phone number and city so users can confirm a local, licensed business.
- Price and ETA are NOT pre-listed — they are confirmed by the locksmith after `request_quote`. Never invent a price or ETA.
- Only call `request_quote` when the user wants to be contacted; it creates a real lead.
