Brick West Brewing Co.

69
Score · 100 point composite
Behind the curve
Across PageSpeed Insights mobile + desktop, on-page hygiene, structured-data adoption, Google Business Profile completeness, and local-pack visibility. Measured June 19, 2026.

Brick West sits third on "brewery taproom near me spokane." Not bad. But the two sites above them aren't breweries — they're Yelp and Reddit, which means the first actual brewery result is Brick West, and that position is worth protecting. The 4.6 rating across 528 reviews is real authority. The problem is the page isn't communicating it to Google. No structured data means the search engine can't read those reviews as a signal. No meta description means Google writes one itself, and it usually won't say Spokane. That's the gap. The localization score — 45 out of 100 — tells the specific story. The title tag names Spokane. The meta description doesn't. Slow mobile performance cuts into ranking and into the conversion after the click. This report shows the three fixes that move the needle, in order of structural impact.

4What to Fix, in Order of What It Costs

3 costly · 0 material · 3 polish

Ranked by what each gap costs you, not by how a scanner flags it. The top of this list is where you're losing the call or the click today. Work down from there.

  1. Google is guessing what your business is.

    Structured data is how you tell Google your name, address, and what you sell. Without it, Google infers — and it trusts the competitors it's sure about.

    Fix: Add a LocalBusiness JSON-LD block with NAP (name, address, phone), opening hours, and primary category.

    Technical detail · for your developer

    No structured data (JSON-LD) on page — Google relies on structured data to understand local business information. — Add a LocalBusiness JSON-LD block with NAP (name, address, phone), opening hours, and primary category.

  2. Google is writing your search-result preview for you.

    An empty meta description means Google grabs random page text. You're handing your first impression to an algorithm.

    Fix: Add a unique meta description summarizing the page

    Missing meta description — The page has no <meta name="description"> tag. — Add a unique meta description summarizing the page. Include the city and primary service.

  3. Your site makes phone users wait.

    Over half your visitors are on phones. A slow load is a closed tab before they ever see you.

    Fix: Compress images, defer non-critical JS, and serve from a CDN

    Slow mobile performance — Mobile performance score is 20/100. Google uses mobile speed as a ranking factor. — Compress images, defer non-critical JS, and serve from a CDN. Focus on Largest Contentful Paint.

  4. Some of your photos are invisible to Google.

    Image descriptions feed image search and help screen readers. Missing them leaves traffic and accessibility on the table.

    Fix: Add descriptive alt text to content images
    Technical detail · for your developer

    3 of 10 images missing alt text — Alt text helps both accessibility and image search ranking. — Add descriptive alt text to content images. Use empty alt='' only for decorative images.

  5. Your links look like spam when shared.

    Paste your URL into Facebook or a text and you get a blank box. A bare link gets fewer clicks than one with a title and image.

    Fix: Add og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url meta tags to the

    No Open Graph meta tags — Open Graph tags control how the page appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. — Add og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url meta tags to the page <head>.

  6. Your links show no preview on X.

    Shared without a card, your link is a naked URL. A preview with a headline and image earns the click; a bare link doesn't.
