Houk Chiropractic & Medical Massage — Monroe

Houk has a 4.8 rating and 150 reviews. That's a strong trust foundation. But on "chiropractor near me Spokane," they don't rank in the top 10. Spokane Sports Chiro, Yelp, and Valente are above them. The reviews aren't the problem. The site is. The homepage title and meta description contain zero Spokane signal — Google can't confirm where Houk operates. No LocalBusiness schema either, so the structured data Google uses to place a business geographically is missing entirely. Among the six Spokane chiropractors audited here, Houk ranks fourth. This report shows exactly where those signals need to be added and what fixing them does to local visibility.
