Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

The Eye Care Team

Ranking #1 organically for "optometrist near me spokane" is real. That's a hard position to earn. But the site is leaving local authority on the table. Spokane shows up in the title tag and almost nowhere else — the meta description and contact markup don't reinforce it, and Google reads that inconsistency as a weak localization signal. Twenty-three of 33 images have no alt text. That's not a cosmetic issue. Those are ranking signals going unread. The 4.3-star GBP with 122 reviews is a solid foundation. It can work harder with the right structural support behind it. This report shows exactly where the localization signal breaks down, which image fields to fill first, and what the four other audited Spokane practices are doing that's closing the composite gap.
