Score · 100 point composite
Strong
Across PageSpeed Insights mobile + desktop, on-page hygiene, structured-data adoption, Google Business Profile completeness, and local-pack visibility. Measured May 25, 2026.

Rank 2 of 9 audited Spokane real estate sites. That's a strong position. The local pack puts Kelly at #1 for "real estate agency near me spokane" — above Windermere, above Zillow. Five stars, 162 reviews. The profile is doing real work. But the site has a blind spot. Zero Spokane signal in the homepage title or meta description. Google reads that page and can't confirm where Kelly operates. That's the gap keeping thelegacygrouprealestate.com at the top of organic results. Two H1 tags on the same page split the focus signal. One fix, immediate structural clarity. This report shows exactly where those signals need to land — and what closing them does to the organic gap above her.

4What to Fix, in Order of What It Costs

0 costly · 1 material · 2 polish

Ranked by what each gap costs you, not by how a scanner flags it. The top of this list is where you're losing the call or the click today. Work down from there.

  1. Your page sends Google mixed signals about its topic.

    Several competing headings dilute the point. Google can't tell what the page is for, so it ranks you for less.

    Fix: Keep only one H1; convert the rest to H2/H3 as appropriate.

    Technical detail · for your developer

    Multiple H1 tags (2) — Multiple H1s dilute heading hierarchy and confuse crawlers. — Keep only one H1; convert the rest to H2/H3 as appropriate.

  2. Your search preview is the wrong length to read.

    Too short says nothing; too long gets clipped. The preview is your pitch — make it land in the space you get.

    Fix: Rewrite the meta description with a concrete benefit and local
    Technical detail · for your developer

    Meta description is too short (61 chars) — Meta descriptions display best between 70 and 160 characters. — Rewrite the meta description with a concrete benefit and local keyword. Target ~150 characters.

  3. Some of your photos are invisible to Google.

    Image descriptions feed image search and help screen readers. Missing them leaves traffic and accessibility on the table.

    Fix: Add descriptive alt text to content images
    Technical detail · for your developer

    1 of 14 images missing alt text — Alt text helps both accessibility and image search ranking. — Add descriptive alt text to content images. Use empty alt='' only for decorative images.
