Score · 100 point composite
Critical
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 "mortgage broker Spokane" is real traction. Most brokers never get there. But the audit puts catlincapital.com 9th out of 9 Spokane mortgage sites overall. That gap matters. No Google Business Profile. No H1 tag. Those aren't minor polish items — they're signals Google uses to confirm a business is real and relevant to a local query. jasonpaullhomeloans.com holds #1. The difference isn't authority. It's structure. Your title names Spokane. Your meta description doesn't — so Google sees one localization signal where it expects two. The report shows exactly where to add the second one, and what fixing the schema gap does to how your listing appears in results.

4What to Fix, in Order of What It Costs

2 costly · 1 material · 2 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. You're invisible on the map.

    No Google Business Profile means you can't appear in the map results — where most local searches end. This is the single biggest miss.

    Fix: Claim or create a Google Business Profile at business.google.com. Verify by postcard or phone.

    Technical detail · for your developer

    No Google Business Profile found — Without a GBP, the business cannot appear in the local pack — the single biggest local-SEO miss. — Claim or create a Google Business Profile at business.google.com. Verify by postcard or phone.

  2. Your page never says what it's about.

    The main heading tells Google and the visitor what this page does. With none, both have to guess — and guessing costs you the ranking.

    Fix: Add a single descriptive H1 to the page with the primary keyword
    Technical detail · for your developer

    No H1 tag on page — Every page should have exactly one H1. — Add a single descriptive H1 to the page with the primary keyword.

  3. Your address and phone aren't where Google looks for them.

    The local pack runs on matching name, address, and phone. A gap here is a reason to rank the shop next door instead.

    Fix: Fill in streetAddress, addressLocality, postalCode, and
    Technical detail · for your developer

    LocalBusiness schema is incomplete — Address or phone is missing from the LocalBusiness schema — both are required for the local pack signal. — Fill in streetAddress, addressLocality, postalCode, and telephone in the LocalBusiness JSON-LD block.

  4. Your search headline gets cut off mid-word.

    Too long and Google truncates it; too short and it says nothing. Either way the click goes to a clearer competitor.

    Fix: Rewrite the page title to land between 30 and 65 characters
    Technical detail · for your developer

    Title tag is too long (89 chars) — Titles should be 30–65 characters to display fully in search results. — Rewrite the page title to land between 30 and 65 characters with the primary keyword and location.

  5. We couldn't measure your site's speed.

    Google's speed tool didn't return a result for your site — usually a temporary hiccup, sometimes a sign the page is slow to load at all.

    Fix: Speed up the initial render
    Technical detail · for your developer

    PageSpeed Insights could not be measured — PSI timed out before Lighthouse finished rendering the page. — Speed up the initial render — most timeouts happen when the page paints nothing in the first ~25 seconds.
