Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Spokane Eye Clinic — Central/Northside

Ranking #1 for "best optometrist spokane" is a real position worth protecting. 768 reviews at 4.8 stars — that's a profile most local competitors can't touch. But the audit score sits at 60/100, and among the five Spokane optometry sites audited, this one ranks last on technical health. That gap matters because organic rankings shift when competitors fix what you haven't. Three things are pulling the score down. No structured data means Google reads the page without the markup that confirms your business type, location, and services in structured form. No robots.txt means crawlers have no guidance file at all. And mobile performance is slow — slow enough to affect how Google weights the page against faster-loading competitors. The localization signal is genuinely strong. Title, meta, and contact details all anchor the site to Spokane correctly. That's likely a reason the #1 rank holds right now. This report shows exactly where each gap sits and what to fix first.
