Locksmith
Ranking #1 organic for "locksmith spokane" is real. That's the strongest position in the room. But you're 5th out of 8 audited Spokane locksmiths overall. One reason: no Google Business Profile was found. That's the slot that shows maps, reviews, and the phone number before anyone clicks a link — and right now it's empty for you. The second gap is structural. Your page has no JSON-LD schema, so Google reads your content but can't confirm what type of business you are or where you operate. Your localization signals are already perfect — title tag, meta, city name all correct. The schema just makes that explicit to the crawler in a language it trusts. This report shows you exactly where those two fixes apply and what's currently holding the composite score at 66.
