Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

American Way Auto Body

Your Google Business Profile is solid. A 4.6 rating across 145 reviews is real credibility — most shops can't say that. But your website isn't backing it up. "Auto body shop Spokane" returns no top-10 result for americanwayautobody.com. Yelp, American Way Collision, and Toby's Body and Fender are all ahead of you — on a query your business should own. The site scores 64 out of 100 in this audit, ranking 4th of 7 Spokane body shops reviewed. The core problem is specific. Your homepage title and meta description contain zero Spokane localization signal — a 0 out of 100. Google can't confidently tie your site to a geography. No H1 tag, no meta description, and an incomplete LocalBusiness schema compound that. The search engine has almost nothing structural to work with. That's the gap. This report shows you exactly where those signals are missing and what fixing them looks like.
