Score · 100 point composite
Solid baseline
Across PageSpeed Insights mobile + desktop, on-page hygiene, structured-data adoption, Google Business Profile completeness, and local-pack visibility. Measured June 17, 2026.

4.9 stars, 72 reviews. That's a real trust signal. The problem is Google doesn't see it the same way your patients do. Free Motion ranks #7 for "best physical therapy clinic spokane" — sitting behind PT Associates, Providence, and LH Physical Therapy, all of whom are pulling the clicks that should land here first. Two structural issues are doing most of the damage. No LocalBusiness schema means Google can't confirm your business details from the page itself — it has to guess. Multiple H1 tags split the ranking signal that should be focused on one clear target. Your Spokane localization is strong at 85/100. The city signal is already in your title and meta. That's the foundation. What's missing is the structure built on top of it. This report shows exactly where those fixes apply and what changes first.

4What to Fix, in Order of What It Costs

1 costly · 2 material · 1 polish

Ranked by what each gap costs you, not by how a scanner flags it. The top of this list is where you're losing the call or the click today. Work down from there.

  1. Google can't read your hours, services, or service area.

    Without structured data, Google guesses what you do — and shows competitors it's more sure about.

    Fix: Add a LocalBusiness or category-specific subtype (Restaurant, Dentist, etc.) entity with full NAP.

    Technical detail · for your developer

    No LocalBusiness schema — JSON-LD is present but no LocalBusiness (or subtype) entity is declared. Local pack ranking relies on this. — Add a LocalBusiness or category-specific subtype (Restaurant, Dentist, etc.) entity with full NAP.

  2. You're just below the three businesses that get the calls.

    The top three map results take most of the clicks. You're close — close enough that reviews and a few fixes can move you in.

    Fix: Strengthen NAP consistency across citations, build reviews, and

    Ranking #7 for the primary organic query — Positions 4–7 sit below the top organic results, where the first three capture most of the clicks. — Strengthen NAP consistency across citations, build reviews, and add LocalBusiness schema if missing.

  3. Your page sends Google mixed signals about its topic.

    Several competing headings dilute the point. Google can't tell what the page is for, so it ranks you for less.

    Fix: Keep only one H1

    Multiple H1 tags (2) — Multiple H1s dilute heading hierarchy and confuse crawlers. — Keep only one H1; convert the rest to H2/H3 as appropriate.

  4. Your search preview is the wrong length to read.

    Too short says nothing; too long gets clipped. The preview is your pitch — make it land in the space you get.

    Fix: Rewrite the meta description with a concrete benefit and local
