Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

First Avenue Coffee

First Avenue Coffee has real authority — 589 reviews, a 4.6 rating. That's a strong foundation. But the site isn't using it. For "coffee shop spokane," they don't crack the top 10. A Reddit thread and a lifestyle blog rank above them. That's the gap. Google can't confirm where First Avenue Coffee operates. The homepage title and meta description contain no Spokane signal — zero. No H1 tag. No structured data. Nine images, none with alt text. These aren't design choices; they're missing instructions Google needs to rank a local business. The report below shows each gap, what it costs in visibility, and the fix.
