Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Nectar Catering and Events

Nectar sits at #4 for "catering company spokane" — behind Mangia, INW, and Yelp. That's the gap. A review aggregator is outranking a real catering operation, which points directly to a fixable technical problem, not a brand problem. The audit found no structured data on the page and no meta description — two signals Google uses to confirm what a business is and where it operates. Fifteen of sixteen images have no alt text, so the search engine is reading a largely silent page. Your Spokane localization score is 40 out of 100: the title names the city, but the meta description and contact markup don't reinforce it. Fix the structure, and the 4.4 rating across 122 reviews becomes a signal Google can actually surface. The report below shows exactly where each gap sits and what to address first.

THE BEST 10 Caterers in SPOKANE, WA - Updated 2026
A national directory in your top 3 means Google can't find enough strong local sites to fill the SERP. That's an opening — your audit-grade site can outrank it with the right local signals.

Audited values come from our Spokane dataset of > 40 local sites. Where a competitor is a national directory (Yelp, Reddit, etc.) we mark it as such — the signal is that those showed up in your local SERP at all, which is its own diagnosis.

2Your Spokane Signal

Local-anchor audit
Spokane localization signal
Partial signal — not enough
40/100

Title mentions Spokane, but supporting signals (meta description, contact info) are thin.

"Spokane" in page title
Title: "Nectar Catering and Events | Spokane Catering"
"Spokane" in meta description
Meta description is missing entirely.
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.
