Strong
Across PageSpeed Insights mobile + desktop, on-page hygiene, structured-data adoption, Google Business Profile completeness, and local-pack visibility. Measured June 17, 2026.

Rank 1 of 6 audited Spokane dentists. That's a real lead. On "best dentist spokane," drweigand.com sits at #2 organic — held out of the top spot by deltadental.com, an insurance directory with national infrastructure behind it. Beating a domain like that is a long game, not a quick fix. What matters is what's underneath: a 98/100 composite score, a perfect Spokane localization signal, and 611 reviews at a 5-star average. Those numbers are structurally sound. The report below shows exactly where the remaining two points are going and what closing that gap requires.

4What to Fix, in Order of What It Costs
