Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Jaazz Salon

Jaazz Salon is already ranking #1 in the local pack for "best hair salon spokane." That's real. But the organic side tells a different story. Lavish Spokane holds the #1 organic spot, and a Reddit thread sits at #3 — meaning a forum post is pulling traffic that should land on your page. The gap isn't effort. It's structure. Your site is missing an H1, a meta description, and JSON-LD schema entirely. Google can't confirm what your page is about without reading between the lines. A 4.9 rating across 492 reviews is strong signal — it's just not being reinforced on the page itself. Localization scores 45/100. The title mentions Spokane. The supporting signals — meta, contact markup — don't follow through. This report shows exactly where to close it.

Hair Salon Recommendations : r/Spokane
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.

Partial signal — not enough
40/100

Title mentions Spokane, but supporting signals (meta description, contact info) are thin.

Title: "Home | Jaazz Salon 421W Main AveUnit 102 Spokane, WA99201"
"Spokane" in meta description
Meta description is missing entirely.
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.
