Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Pacific NW Cremation & Funeral

Ranking #8 on "funeral home spokane" means three competitors are pulling clicks you should be getting. Riplinger, Heritage, and Hennessey all sit above you — that's the gap. Your site scores 84 out of 100 in this audit, which puts you third among the seven Spokane funeral homes reviewed. Strong start. Your localization signal is solid at 75 out of 100 — title, meta, and contact details all tell Google where you operate. The 4.7 rating across 97 reviews is real trust signal. One structural issue is costing you: the site currently has two H1 tags, and search engines treat that as an ambiguous page signal. Fix that, and the page reads cleaner to crawlers. The report below shows exactly where each gap sits and what to address first.
