Updawg Pet Hotel & Daycare
Local pack #1. That's real. With a 4.9 rating across 105 reviews and the top local pack spot for "pet boarding kennel spokane," Updawg has built something most competitors haven't. But organic tells a different story — three sites rank above you before a searcher ever sees your name. The core problem is location signal. Your homepage title and meta description don't mention Spokane. Google has to guess where you operate. That single gap is suppressing organic rank on the queries that matter most. This report shows exactly where freerangeboarding.com, playnstay.com, and marcindakennels.com are pulling ahead — and the specific fixes, starting with the missing meta description and incomplete schema, that close the distance.
