Strong
Across PageSpeed Insights mobile + desktop, on-page hygiene, structured-data adoption, Google Business Profile completeness, and local-pack visibility. Measured June 19, 2026.

#2 organic for "child care center near me spokane." That's a real position. Only Yelp sits above them — an aggregator with dozens of listings, not a local competitor. North Avenue is the top-ranked individual daycare site in this audit of seven Spokane providers. Strong start. The gap is structural, not editorial. LocalBusiness schema is incomplete, which means Google is reading the page but not confirming the business details it uses to serve local results with confidence. Eleven reviews on the GBP is the other pressure point — enough to show credibility, not enough to hold position as competitors build theirs. This report shows exactly which schema fields are missing and where the review gap puts the ranking at risk.

4What to Fix, in Order of What It Costs

0 costly · 2 material · 0 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. You're just below the three businesses that get the calls.

    The top three map results take most of the clicks. You're close — close enough that reviews and a few fixes can move you in.

    Fix: Strengthen NAP consistency across citations, build reviews, and add LocalBusiness schema if missing.

    Ranking #6 for the primary organic query — Positions 4–7 sit below the top organic results, where the first three capture most of the clicks. — Strengthen NAP consistency across citations, build reviews, and add LocalBusiness schema if missing.

  2. Your address and phone aren't where Google looks for them.

    The local pack runs on matching name, address, and phone. A gap here is a reason to rank the shop next door instead.
