What to fix first, and why

Ranking just outside the top three results for "dance studio spokane" is the most expensive position on the page — the first three results take the large majority of clicks, and being close means a focused push can move it up. The search preview runs to 239 characters, so Google cuts it off before the pitch lands; trimming it to under 160 gives searchers a complete reason to click. On the stronger side, the site scores clearly above the Spokane Dance Studios median overall, loads faster than most competitors on a phone, and names the city in both the title and meta description — signals that are already working. The first fix: audit NAP consistency across every directory listing, then add LocalBusiness schema to the homepage if it isn't there.

What to fix, in order

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

Next1

  1. Ranks #6 in Google's web results for the main search, just below the top three.

    The fix: Strengthen NAP consistency across citations, build reviews, and add LocalBusiness schema if missing.

    Why it matters · for your developer

    The first three results take most of the clicks. This is close enough that a few fixes can move it up.

    Map & search position. Ranking #6 for the primary organic query: Positions 4–7 sit below the top organic results, where the first three capture most of the clicks.

When there's time1

  1. The search preview is 239 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 (239 chars): Meta descriptions display best between 70 and 160 characters.
