Bark Park Doggy Daycare & Grooming

Bark Park has a 4.9 rating and 64 reviews. That's a real foundation. But on "pet boarding kennel spokane," they don't crack the top ten. Free Range Boarding, Play-N-Stay, and Marcinda Kennels all rank above them — and the gap isn't about reputation. It's technical. The homepage has no title tag, no meta description, and no H1. Google reads the page and can't determine what the business does or where it operates. The Spokane localization score is 0 out of 100 — the site never tells Google this is a Spokane business. No structured data, no sitemap, no robots.txt file. The crawl has almost nothing to work with. Among the eight Spokane pet-boarding sites audited, Bark Park scores 20 out of 100 and ranks last. That's the gap. The fixes are structural — tags, signals, and crawl access — and this report shows exactly where to start.
