Craig's Automotive Collision Center, in

4.9 stars, 123 reviews. That's a strong trust foundation. But "auto body shop Spokane" isn't returning Craig's in the top 10 — Yelp, American Way Collision, and Toby's Body and Fender are all ahead of it. The reviews aren't the problem. The structure is. Two gaps are driving most of that distance. There's no LocalBusiness schema on the site, which means Google can't confirm the basic facts — name, address, category — from the page itself. And 11 of 29 images have no alt text, so a third of the visual content is invisible to crawlers. Localization is thin beyond the title tag. The meta description and contact signals score 40 out of 100 — Google sees "Spokane" once and not much else reinforcing it. Here's what this report maps out: the exact schema markup Craig's is missing, which images need alt text first, and where to add localization signals that actually move the needle.
