Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Carlson & Co. Real Estate

#3 in the local pack is real traction. But the audit score tells a different story. At 47 out of 100, Carlson & Co. sits last among every Spokane real estate site audited — 9th of 9. The gap between the local pack rank and the technical score means the 4.9 rating and 227 reviews are carrying weight the site itself isn't. That's a fragile position. The single biggest problem: Google can't confirm where Carlson & Co. operates. The homepage title and meta description contain zero Spokane signal — a localization score of 0 out of 100. No structured data, no meta description, two competing H1 tags. The site is asking Google to guess. This report shows exactly which fixes move the needle first.
