Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

American Way Collision Center

Ranking #2 organically for "auto body shop spokane" is a real asset. Only Yelp sits above them — and Yelp is an aggregator, not a competitor. That's the gap worth closing. The report shows three specific places where the site is leaving ground on the table. No structured data means Google is reading the page without the machine-readable layer that confirms business type, location, and reviews. Eleven of 23 images have no alt text. The Lighthouse SEO score is below 90. None of these are abstract — each one affects how confidently search engines surface the site when someone nearby needs a shop. The localization foundation is strong. Title, meta, and contact details all anchor to Spokane correctly, which is why the 83/100 local signal score holds up. The 4.6 rating across 163 reviews adds weight to the profile. The core is solid. The technical layer needs to catch up. What follows shows exactly where each gap sits, what fixing it does to search visibility, and what to prioritize first.
