Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Pounder's Jewelry

Pounder's holds the #3 spot in the local pack for "jewelry store spokane." That's real visibility. But Jewelry Design Center and Zales sit above them, and the audit shows exactly why the gap exists. No H1 tag. No structured data. Those two gaps alone tell Google's crawler less than it needs to confidently rank a page higher. 51 of 55 images have no alt text. No robots.txt. No sitemap.xml. Each one is a small signal Google never receives. The localization foundation is solid — title, meta, and contact details all anchor the site to Spokane. The 4.6 rating across 416 reviews is strong social proof. There's a real business here worth ranking. The report below maps each gap to the specific fix. Start there.
