Label a starting price as a starting price. Explain what it covers, what remains undecided, and when the customer receives the job-specific total. Use the current rate record as the source. Do not borrow a competitor's amount or convert an old quote into the company's general price. ## Define the price type before building a table Ask the rate owner which amounts can be stated publicly. Separate a call-out charge, a starting labor amount, a fixed scoped service, and a quoted project total. If the business cannot support a public amount, use a clear explanation of how pricing is confirmed. Do not publish a low number merely to fill a pricing section. The FTC says advertising must be truthful and supported. It also considers omissions that could mislead a customer about a material fact. [FTC advertising guidance, checked 2026.10.22](https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/advertising-faqs-guide-small-business). Review the meaning of the whole page. A small note beneath the table may not match the impression created by a broad price heading. ## Explain what a published charge covers Build the page from this worksheet: | Price statement | Confirm before publication | | --- | --- | | Call-out or attendance charge | When it applies and what it includes | | Starting amount | Exact scope represented by the starting figure | | Fixed service amount | Conditions under which that amount applies | | After-hours charge | Approved times and additional terms | | Parts or hardware | Whether included, excluded, or assessed | | Job-specific quote | Who confirms the scope and amount | Use the company's actual terms in the final page. This table supplies questions, not prices or a required charging method. Keep unknown amounts unresolved. Do not infer a typical job total from a minimum figure, a past invoice, or an incomplete customer description. ## Keep service types distinct Separate the services your business offers when the pricing explanation differs. Use the exact work descriptions approved by the owner. Keep residential lockouts, vehicle requests, and commercial hardware pricing separate unless the approved offering establishes one charge. For any range, record what supports the endpoints and which jobs the range describes. Ask the rate owner whether the public wording could be mistaken for a guaranteed maximum. Avoid publishing a technical promise about the method or outcome merely to justify a price. The authorized person should confirm suitability and scope through the company's normal process. ## Explain when the final amount is agreed Describe the actual sequence: the customer makes a request, the office reviews it, and the responsible person confirms the applicable price or assessment step. Keep a website inquiry separate from acceptance of a job total. Do not let a form confirmation announce that the customer has agreed to an amount they have not seen. Have the owner review how price changes are explained and approved. The website should describe the company's actual process without inventing a legal rule or changing the service agreement. Keep identity and access verification separate from pricing. A published starting amount does not authorize entry or dispatch. ## Test the page and its request path Read the pricing page on a phone. Check whether the conditions remain visible beside the figure they explain. Look for cropped tables, tiny footnotes, and buttons that hide the limits. Follow the call link and compare its digits with the displayed number. For a form, submit a labelled example using your own details. Confirm the office receives the requested service and callback information. Check the automatic confirmation against the price explanation. Record any unsupported fixed-price or arrival promise for correction. Have the rate owner approve the final page and review it when charges change. Search related service pages and graphics for old amounts at the same time. The [locksmith industry page](/for/locksmiths) covers the wider website.
