Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Cooney Law Offices, P.S.

You're holding a position most firms don't reach. Ranking #2 in Spokane's local pack for "law firm spokane" is real visibility. But Foster, Lukins, and Maxey are all sitting above you, and the audit shows specific reasons why. No LocalBusiness schema. That's the gap. Google can read your content. It can't confirm your entity — your name, address, hours, and practice area as a structured signal it trusts. Schema fixes that. It's a few lines of markup that tell search engines exactly what you are, not just what your page says. The other issues compound it. Three H1 tags split your page's focus. Twenty-nine images with no alt text are invisible to crawlers. Each one is a missed relevance signal. Your Spokane localization scores strong at 75/100 — title, meta, and contact details are all working. The foundation is there. This report shows where to spend the next 30 days.
