Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Montvale Event Center

Montvale sits at #5 for "wedding venue spokane." Three of the four sites above it are directories — theknot.com, eventective.com, eventective.com — not competing venues. That's actually a real opportunity. The gap isn't visibility. It's structure. No LocalBusiness schema means Google is reading this site without the clearest signal that connects a business to a place and a category. Two H1 tags on the same page split that signal further. The localization score is 95/100 — the title, meta, and contact details are doing their job. The foundation is there. The technical layer isn't. The report below maps exactly where those fixes apply and what closing them looks like in practice.
