Lighthouse Chiropractic

4.9 stars, 131 reviews. That's a real trust signal — patients are happy and vocal about it. The problem is the site isn't telling Google where those patients are. The homepage title and meta description contain zero Spokane-specific language, which is what's holding the localization score at 0 out of 100. Google ranks local businesses partly on how clearly they signal location in on-page text. Right now, the site doesn't make that signal. That's the core gap. The result: a #2 local pack ranking on "chiropractor near me Spokane" — strong, but Spokane Sports Chiro holds #1 with a site that does make those signals. There are also four H1 tags on the site where there should be one, which splits Google's read of what the page is actually about. Add a missing meta description and slow mobile load times, and the audit composite lands at 83 out of 100. Second-ranked out of six audited Spokane chiropractors. The report below shows exactly which fixes move the needle first.
