What to fix first, and why

Review count is the clearest gap: Bella Vita Catering's profile sits clearly below the Spokane Catering median, and fewer reviews means Google has less social proof to weight against the listings ahead of it. The stronger fix, though, is structured data — the site currently sends no LocalBusiness markup, so Google has to guess at the hours, services, and service area instead of reading them directly, and that guesswork consistently favors competitors who spell it out. The meta description compounds this: at 161 characters it gets cut mid-sentence in search results, which costs the click before anyone lands. Start by adding a LocalBusiness schema entity with full name, address, phone, hours, and service area — that single change gives Google the information it needs to treat the site as a credible local result.

What to Fix, in Order

Most costly first. Every fix is written out in full.

Fix first1

  1. The site's structured data doesn't describe a local business.

    The fix: Add a LocalBusiness or category-specific subtype (Restaurant, Dentist, etc.) entity with full NAP.

    Why it matters · for your developer

    LocalBusiness structured data spells out the hours, services and service area for Google. Without it, Google leans on the listings that do.

    Business info for Google. No LocalBusiness schema: JSON-LD is present but no LocalBusiness (or subtype) entity is declared. Local pack ranking relies on this.

When there's time2

  1. The search preview is 161 characters, longer than Google shows.

    The fix: Rewrite the meta description with a concrete benefit and local keyword. Target ~150 characters.

    Why it matters · for your developer

    Under 70 characters says little, and past 160 it gets cut off. The preview is the pitch under the link.

    Page basics. Meta description is too long (161 chars): Meta descriptions display best between 70 and 160 characters.

  2. 1 of 15 images on the homepage has no text description.

    The fix: Add descriptive alt text to content images. Use empty alt='' only for decorative images.

    Why it matters · for your developer

    Alt text feeds image search and screen readers. The missing ones are reach left on the table.

    Page basics. 1 of 15 images missing alt text: Alt text helps both accessibility and image search ranking.
