What to fix first, and why
Fagerland & Associates has no Google Business Profile — and that's the whole ballgame for local search. Without a profile, there's no map listing, and the map is where most local searches end. The homepage also carries no structured data, so Google infers the business's name, address, and services instead of reading them directly; it ranks the listings it's certain about first. The site does one thing well: both the title and meta description name Spokane, which gives Google a clear city signal. The first fix is specific — go to business.google.com, claim or create the profile, and verify by postcard or phone.

What to Fix, in Order
8 fixes · free to read
Most costly first. Every fix is written out in full.
Fix first2
No Google Business Profile found.
The fix: Claim or create a Google Business Profile at business.google.com. Verify by postcard or phone.
Why it matters · for your developerFor your developer
Without a profile there's no map listing, and most local searches end on the map. This is the biggest single gap a local business can have.
Google Business Profile. No Google Business Profile found: Without a GBP, the business cannot appear in the local pack — the single biggest local-SEO miss.
The homepage has no structured data.
The fix: Add a LocalBusiness JSON-LD block with NAP (name, address, phone), opening hours, and primary category.
Why it matters · for your developerFor your developer
Structured data states the name, address and services in a form Google reads directly. Without it, Google infers them, and it trusts the listings it's sure about.
Business info for Google. No structured data (JSON-LD) on page: Google relies on structured data to understand local business information.
Next3
Ranks #5 in Google's web results for the main search, just below the top three.
The fix: Strengthen NAP consistency across citations, build reviews, and add LocalBusiness schema if missing.
Why it matters · for your developer
The first three results take most of the clicks. This is close enough that a few fixes can move it up.
Map & search position. Ranking #5 for the primary organic query: Positions 4–7 sit below the top organic results, where the first three capture most of the clicks.
Show the other 5 fixes
Nextcontinued
The homepage has more than one main heading.
The fix: Keep only one H1; convert the rest to H2/H3 as appropriate.
Why it matters · for your developer
Several H1s blur the page's topic. One clear heading tells Google what to rank the page for.
Page basics. Multiple H1 tags (3): Multiple H1s dilute heading hierarchy and confuse crawlers.
No sitemap.
The fix: Generate a sitemap.xml and reference it in robots.txt. Most CMSes have a plugin for this.
Why it matters · for your developer
A sitemap lists every page so Google finds them quickly. Without one, deeper pages can wait weeks to be indexed.
Crawlability. No sitemap.xml: Sitemaps tell Google which pages exist and when they changed.
When there's time3
The page title is 77 characters, more than search results show.
The fix: Rewrite the page title to land between 30 and 65 characters with the primary keyword and location.
Why it matters · for your developer
Past about 65 characters, Google cuts the title off in results. A clear title of 30 to 65 characters earns the click.
Page basics. Title tag is too long (77 chars): Titles should be 30–65 characters to display fully in search results.
Shared links show no preview.
The fix: Add og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url meta tags to the page <head>.
Why it matters · for your developer
Pasted into a text or a Facebook post, the link shows as a bare URL. A title and image get more clicks.
Page basics. No Open Graph meta tags: Open Graph tags control how the page appears when shared on Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.
Links shared on X show no preview card.
The fix: Add twitter:card, twitter:title, twitter:description, twitter:image meta tags.
Why it matters · for your developer
A card with a headline and image earns more clicks than a bare link.
Page basics. No Twitter Card meta tags: Twitter Card tags control share previews on X/Twitter.
