Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Spokane Locksmith

#2 in the local pack is a real position. Al's Locksmith holds the top spot, and that gap is closeable. Your Spokane signal is the strongest part of this audit — 95/100. Title, meta, and contact details all anchor you locally. That's working. Two things are pulling the score down. Your site runs multiple H1 tags; search engines read that as an ambiguous page signal. Fifteen images, eight without alt text — Google isn't reading those at all. Fix both and you're pushing on a door that's already cracked open. The report below shows exactly which pages carry the duplicate H1s and which images need tags written first.

THE BEST 10 KEYS & LOCKSMITHS IN SPOKANE, WA
A national directory in your top 3 means Google can't find enough strong local sites to fill the SERP. That's an opening — your audit-grade site can outrank it with the right local signals.

Audited values come from our Spokane dataset of > 40 local sites. Where a competitor is a national directory (Yelp, Reddit, etc.) we mark it as such — the signal is that those showed up in your local SERP at all, which is its own diagnosis.
