Spokane Teaching Health Center

76
Score · 100 point composite
Solid baseline
Across PageSpeed Insights mobile + desktop, on-page hygiene, structured-data adoption, Google Business Profile completeness, and local-pack visibility. Measured June 17, 2026.

Sixth place on "medical clinic spokane." MultiCare, Doctors Clinic, and Providence are all sitting above you. That's the gap. Your localization is strong — title and meta both name Spokane clearly, and that signal scores 85/100. Google knows where you operate. The problem is structural: no H1 tag on the homepage, no LocalBusiness schema, and five out of five images missing alt text. Those aren't minor oversights. They're signals Google uses to rank one clinic above another. The 3.2 rating on 116 reviews is the harder conversation. Organic rank and review score influence each other in local search. One without the other stalls. This report shows exactly where each of those gaps sits in your page structure, and which fixes move the needle first.

2What to Fix, in Order of What It Costs

3 costly · 1 material · 1 polish

Ranked by what each gap costs you, not by how a scanner flags it. The top of this list is where you're losing the call or the click today. Work down from there.

  1. Your rating is scaring off clicks.

    A star rating under 4.0 reads as a warning. People scroll past it to the next shop, even when you'd do the better job.

    Fix: Address the patterns in your negative reviews directly, then increase volume of recent positive reviews.

    Technical detail · for your developer

    Google rating is 3.2/5 — Average rating below 4.0 hurts the local-pack click-through dramatically. — Address the patterns in your negative reviews directly, then increase volume of recent positive reviews.

  2. Google can't read your hours, services, or service area.

    Without structured data, Google guesses what you do — and shows competitors it's more sure about.

    Fix: Add a LocalBusiness or category-specific subtype (Restaurant,
    Technical detail · for your developer

    No LocalBusiness schema — JSON-LD is present but no LocalBusiness (or subtype) entity is declared. Local pack ranking relies on this. — Add a LocalBusiness or category-specific subtype (Restaurant, Dentist, etc.) entity with full NAP.

  3. Your page never says what it's about.

    The main heading tells Google and the visitor what this page does. With none, both have to guess — and guessing costs you the ranking.

    Fix: Add a single descriptive H1 to the page with the primary keyword
    Technical detail · for your developer

    No H1 tag on page — Every page should have exactly one H1. — Add a single descriptive H1 to the page with the primary keyword.

  4. Your photos are invisible to Google.

    Without descriptions, your images can't show up in image search and screen readers skip them. That's reach you're not getting.

    Fix: Audit content images and add descriptive alt text
    Technical detail · for your developer

    Most images missing alt text (5/5) — Image alt coverage is below 70%. — Audit content images and add descriptive alt text. Use empty alt='' only for decorative images.

  5. Your search preview is the wrong length to read.

    Too short says nothing; too long gets clipped. The preview is your pitch — make it land in the space you get.

    Fix: Rewrite the meta description with a concrete benefit and local
    Technical detail · for your developer

    Meta description is too long (249 chars) — Meta descriptions display best between 70 and 160 characters. — Rewrite the meta description with a concrete benefit and local keyword. Target ~150 characters.
