Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Jason Paull Team | Fairway Home Mortgage

Ranking #1 for "mortgage broker Spokane" is a real position to hold. You're above every competitor we audited, and 225 reviews at a 5-star rating backs that up with trust signals most brokers never build. But the site has a structural gap that creates risk. No LocalBusiness schema means Google is reading your relevance from plain text instead of structured data it can parse and verify. Your page title also doesn't anchor Spokane — and Google reads the title before anything else on the page. Your localization signal scores 25 out of 100 because of that. Two H1 tags on the same page split the topical signal. One clear H1 tells Google exactly what the page is about. Two dilute it. The report below maps every gap by priority, shows you the exact fixes, and tells you which ones protect the #1 position you already own.

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: "Home - Jason Paull Home Loans"
"Spokane" in meta description
Meta: "Spokane mortgage lender helping buyers secure competitive home loans …"
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.

Fix:
Material
Multiple H1 tags (2)
Multiple H1s dilute heading hierarchy and confuse crawlers.
Fix:
Polish
Title tag is too short (29 chars)
Titles should be 30–65 characters to display fully in search results.
