What to fix first, and why

The site doesn't appear in the map results for the main Spokane dentist searches, and sits below the top results in web search — meaning most clicks go elsewhere before a patient ever finds it. Structured data is the quiet reason: without LocalBusiness schema naming the hours, services, and service area, Google fills that gap with the listings that do have it. Page speed on a phone compounds the problem — slow loads lose visitors before the page finishes appearing. The city signal is already there; the title and meta description both name Spokane, so that foundation is solid. The first fix is to add LocalBusiness schema with correct name, address, phone, and hours, then audit the Google Business Profile for completeness.

What to fix, in order

Most costly first. Every fix is written out in full.

Fix first3

  1. Ranks #9 in Google's web results for the main search, past the top seven.

    The fix: Fix the foundational signals first: GBP completeness, LocalBusiness schema with NAP, on-page title + H1 with city.

    Why it matters · for your developer

    Most clicks go to the first few results. The way up starts with the foundation: structured data, the Google profile and page basics.

    Map & search position. Outside the top results (organic #9): The site does not rank in the top 7 organic results for its primary local query.

  2. The site's structured data doesn't describe a local business.

    The fix: Add a LocalBusiness or category-specific subtype (Restaurant, Dentist, etc.) entity with full NAP.

    Why it matters · for your developer

    LocalBusiness structured data spells out the hours, services and service area for Google. Without it, Google leans on the listings that do.

    Business info for Google. No LocalBusiness schema: JSON-LD is present but no LocalBusiness (or subtype) entity is declared. Local pack ranking relies on this.

  3. The site is slow on a phone.

    The fix: Compress images, defer non-critical JS, and serve from a CDN. Focus on Largest Contentful Paint.

    Why it matters · for your developer

    Most local searches happen on phones. A slow load loses visitors before the page appears.

    Speed & Google checklist. Slow mobile performance: Mobile performance score is 49/100. Google uses mobile speed as a ranking factor.

Show the other 1 fix

When there's time1

  1. The search preview is 172 characters, longer than Google shows.

    The fix: Rewrite the meta description with a concrete benefit and local keyword. Target ~150 characters.

    Why it matters · for your developer

    Under 70 characters says little, and past 160 it gets cut off. The preview is the pitch under the link.

    Page basics. Meta description is too long (172 chars): Meta descriptions display best between 70 and 160 characters.

Speed on a phone

32 s to load the main content on a simulated mid-range phone (a lab test), against Google's good mark of 2.5 s. The Spokane Dentists median is 15 s.
