Solid baseline
Across PageSpeed Insights mobile + desktop, on-page hygiene, structured-data adoption, Google Business Profile completeness, and local-pack visibility. Measured June 19, 2026.

Ranking #2 for "best barbershop spokane" is a real result. The only site above them is Reddit — not a competitor. Strong start. The audit score is 81/100, and Brickyard leads the eight Spokane barbershops audited here. A 4.8 rating across 379 reviews backs that up structurally. But two gaps are costing them ground they've already earned. The meta description doesn't name Spokane, so the localization signal sits at 65/100 — the title does the work, and the description doesn't reinforce it. That's a fixable signal loss. There's also no JSON-LD structured data on the page, which means Google reads the business details manually instead of from a clean machine-readable source. That's the gap. This report shows exactly where those two fixes apply and what changing them does to how Google parses the page.

4What to Fix, in Order of What It Costs

1 costly · 0 material · 0 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.
