Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Modus Mortgage

The 4.9 rating is real. The visibility isn't there yet. For "mortgage broker Spokane," Modus doesn't rank in the top 10. Jason Paull Home Loans, Catlin Capital, and BECU are all ahead of them. Among the eight Spokane mortgage brokers audited here, Modus lands fifth. The core issue is structural. Google can't confirm Modus operates in Spokane — "Spokane" doesn't appear in the homepage title or meta description, and the site has no LocalBusiness schema. That's a zero localization signal. The search engine has no geographic anchor to work with. Two fixable things. Add Spokane to the title tag and meta description. Implement LocalBusiness schema so Google can read the location directly from the page code. Mobile performance and missing image alt text are also flagged. They're not the primary drag, but they compound the signal problem. This report walks through each gap in order of impact — starting with the localization fixes that move the needle fastest.
