Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Cedar Coffee

Cedar Coffee has a 4.8 rating and 386 reviews. That's real authority. The technical structure isn't carrying it yet. For "coffee shop spokane," cedar.coffee isn't ranking in the top 10. The sites above it are a local food blog, Reddit, and a creative agency — not a competing café. That's the gap. Two critical issues explain most of it. No H1 tag. No LocalBusiness schema. Google reads those first to confirm what a page is and where it belongs. Your page title doesn't anchor Spokane. That's a 25/100 localization score. One specific fix changes that signal fast. This report shows exactly what to address, in order, so the trust you've built on Google Business Profile starts pulling weight in search too.
