Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Grace & Belle Photography

Grace & Belle has a 5-star rating and 62 reviews. That's real trust, sitting idle. For "photographer spokane," the site isn't ranking in the top 10. KC England, Yelp, and Instagram hold the visible slots. Those aren't just stronger brands — they carry structural signals Google rewards before it ever reads the content. Two of those signals are absent here. No H1 tag. No structured data. Google reads the page title first to confirm a location match. Right now, that title doesn't name Spokane. A 25/100 localization score is the direct result — and rank 6 of 7 among audited local photographers reflects it. The report below shows exactly where each signal is missing and what adding it changes in Google's read of the page.

A national directory in your top 3 means Google can't find enough strong local sites to fill the SERP. That's an opening — your audit-grade site can outrank it with the right local signals.

Audited values come from our Spokane dataset of > 40 local sites. Where a competitor is a national directory (Yelp, Reddit, etc.) we mark it as such — the signal is that those showed up in your local SERP at all, which is its own diagnosis.

2Your Spokane Signal

Local-anchor audit
Spokane localization signal
Site doesn't say it's in Spokane
25/100

Some Spokane signal present, but the page title doesn't anchor the location. Google reads title first.

"Spokane" in page title
Title: "grace & belle photography"
"Spokane" in meta description
Meta: "Welcome to Grace & Belle! Whether it's Wedding or Family Portraits yo…"
Local cities / neighborhoods mentioned
No Spokane neighborhoods, Spokane Valley, or surrounding cities mentioned.
509 area code present
No 509 phone number in title/meta — moving it onsite gives Google a structured local cue.
