The Pergola Event Venue
Third in the local pack for "wedding venue spokane." That's real visibility. But the sites above them — theknot.com, eventective.com, spokaneclub.org — are directories and established institutions, not direct competitors. The Pergola is holding its own in that company. The structural side tells a different story. A 25/100 localization score means Google is reading the page without a clear Spokane anchor in the title tag — and the title is the first signal it checks. Seventeen of 41 images have no alt text, there are two H1 tags competing for authority on the same page, and mobile load speed is flagging. None of these are abstract. Each one costs crawl weight. The 4.9 rating across 47 reviews is a genuine asset. That trust signal exists — it just isn't fully reinforced by the technical layer beneath it. This report shows the exact fixes, in order of impact.
