Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Inspirations Dance Studio

Inspirations Dance Studio ranks #4 for "dance studio spokane." Three sites sit above it: Dance Center of Spokane, 509 Collective, and Spokane Elite Dance. That's the gap. The localization is solid. Title tags, meta, and contact details all signal Spokane clearly — that's why you're in the top five at all. Two things are holding the ranking down. Mobile load speed is the critical one — Google weights page experience heavily in local results, and slow mobile pages lose positions to faster competitors. The second: 10 of your 24 images have no alt text, which means search engines skip them entirely as ranking signals. The report below shows exactly where each gap sits and what to fix first.
