Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Holliday Heating + Cooling + Electric

4th organic. 2nd in the local pack. That split tells a story. Holliday is pulling real visibility on "HVAC contractor near me Spokane" — 4,147 reviews at 4.9 stars is a trust signal most competitors can't touch. But randrheating.com is ranking above you organically, and two non-competitor pages (Yelp and Reddit) are eating the top two spots. That's recoverable ground. The report surfaces two specific gaps holding rank back. First: no LocalBusiness schema, which means Google is inferring your service area instead of reading it directly from structured data. Second: your page title doesn't anchor Spokane — and Google reads title first. Your localization score is 25/100, not because the signals are absent, but because the strongest one is missing. Fifteen of 26 images have no alt text. Small fix, real crawl cost. The sections below show exactly where hollidayheating.com sits against the other six Spokane HVAC sites audited, what the schema gap looks like technically, and which title tag change closes the most distance fastest.

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

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.
