Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Chateau Rive

Chateau Rive holds the #1 local pack spot for "wedding venue spokane." That's a real position. But three directory sites — The Knot, Eventective, and Spokane Club — sit above them in organic results, and that's where the gap lives. Strong foundation. The composite audit score is 82/100, highest among the six Spokane wedding venues audited. A 4.7 rating across 140 reviews gives Google a trust signal most competitors can't match. What's working is working. The structural problems are specific. No LocalBusiness schema means Google is inferring what the page is about rather than reading a direct declaration. The page title doesn't anchor Spokane — and Google reads the title first. That localization signal scores 25/100. Twenty-three of 32 images are missing alt text, so a significant share of the site's visual content is invisible to crawlers. Fix those three things, and the organic rankings close the gap on the directories above them. This report shows exactly where each issue lives and what to change first.
