Strong
Across PageSpeed Insights mobile + desktop, on-page hygiene, structured-data adoption, Google Business Profile completeness, and local-pack visibility. Measured June 17, 2026.

Rank one for "dentist near me Spokane." That's real. Most Spokane dental practices competing for that query aren't close — you're sitting above five audited competitors with a 93/100 composite score and perfect localization signals in your title and meta. Google sees Spokane every time it reads your page. The one gap: 38 reviews at a 5-star rating is a strong foundation, but thin volume for a top-ranked local practice. Review count is a trust signal the map pack weighs directly. That's where the next rank holds or slips. This report shows you exactly where the 7 points went and which fixes protect the position you already own.
