Listings we cross-checked
Every third-party profile our team opened for Red Panda Locksmith in July 2026, and what each one actually publishes — including the ones that gave us nothing. A profile we could not tie to this business by a hard identifier is marked as unconfirmed rather than quietly dropped.
- YelpOpen ↗
No public star rating published · 22 reviews held back by Yelp’s own filter, so they count towards nothing
Matched — Street address on Yelp's own listing (207 Meridian Ave, Edgewood) matches our record.
Yelp also states: “37 reviews removed for violating our Terms of Service” — quoted verbatim from Yelp’s own page. Yelp does not say which reviews those were or who was behind them, and we draw no conclusion from it.

Why we count filtered reviews but never quote them.Yelp runs software that decides which reviews it is willing to stand behind; the rest are pushed to a separate “not currently recommended” page and excluded from the business’s score. We publish that number because hiding it would flatter the listing — but we do not reprint the text, because a platform declining to vouch for a review is not a reason for us to promote it as testimony.
