Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Shala Living Yoga

Shala Living Yoga is the strongest yoga site we've audited in Spokane. Rank one of eight. But harmonyspokane.com holds the #1 organic spot on "yoga studio spokane," and that gap has a specific cause. Three things are working against the ranking ceiling here. No LocalBusiness schema, no H1 tag, and slow mobile load times. Google reads those as trust signals — and right now, they're missing. The localization score is 40 out of 100. The page title names Spokane. The meta description and contact markup don't back it up. That's the structural gap. The 4.9 rating across 125 reviews is a real asset — most competitors can't match it. This report shows exactly where to apply it.
