Score · 100 point composite
Solid baseline
Across PageSpeed Insights mobile + desktop, on-page hygiene, structured-data adoption, Google Business Profile completeness, and local-pack visibility. Measured June 17, 2026.

Ranking #5 is close. But three competitors are collecting the clicks above you. theeyecareteam.com, vsp.com, and spokaneeye.com all sit ahead of North Spokane Eye Care on "optometrist near me Spokane" — the query that drives real appointment volume. Your 4.6 rating across 119 reviews is a genuine asset. The site isn't working hard enough to match it. Two gaps are doing the most damage. Your page has no meta description, so Google writes one for you — and it won't mention Spokane. That's the localization problem. Your title names the city; nothing else reinforces it, which is why your local signal scores 45 out of 100. Mobile performance is the second issue. Slow load on mobile hurts both rankings and the patients who almost booked. This report shows the specific fixes — schema, alt text on 18 of 23 images, and the meta description — ranked by how much each one moves the needle.

4What to Fix, in Order of What It Costs

2 costly · 3 material · 1 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. Google is writing your search-result preview for you.

    An empty meta description means Google grabs random page text. You're handing your first impression to an algorithm.

    Fix: Add a unique meta description summarizing the page. Include the city and primary service.

    Technical detail · for your developer

    Missing meta description — The page has no <meta name="description"> tag. — Add a unique meta description summarizing the page. Include the city and primary service.

  2. Your site makes phone users wait.

    Over half your visitors are on phones. A slow load is a closed tab before they ever see you.

    Fix: Compress images, defer non-critical JS, and serve from a CDN
    Technical detail · for your developer

    Slow mobile performance — Mobile performance score is 49/100. Google uses mobile speed as a ranking factor. — Compress images, defer non-critical JS, and serve from a CDN. Focus on Largest Contentful Paint.

  3. 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
    Technical detail · for your developer

    Ranking #5 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.

  4. 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.

    Fix: Fill in streetAddress, addressLocality, postalCode, and
    Technical detail · for your developer

    LocalBusiness schema is incomplete — Address or phone is missing from the LocalBusiness schema — both are required for the local pack signal. — Fill in streetAddress, addressLocality, postalCode, and telephone in the LocalBusiness JSON-LD block.

  5. Your photos are invisible to Google.

    Without descriptions, your images can't show up in image search and screen readers skip them. That's reach you're not getting.

    Fix: Audit content images and add descriptive alt text
    Technical detail · for your developer

    Most images missing alt text (18/23) — Image alt coverage is below 70%. — Audit content images and add descriptive alt text. Use empty alt='' only for decorative images.

  6. Your search headline gets cut off mid-word.

    Too long and Google truncates it; too short and it says nothing. Either way the click goes to a clearer competitor.

    Fix: Rewrite the page title to land between 30 and 65 characters
    Technical detail · for your developer

    Title tag is too short (22 chars) — Titles should be 30–65 characters to display fully in search results. — Rewrite the page title to land between 30 and 65 characters with the primary keyword and location.
