Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Whistle Punk Brewing Downtown

Whistle Punk has a real foundation. A 4.9 rating across 351 reviews is hard to build and harder to fake. But "brewery taproom spokane" doesn't show them in the top 10. Bellwether, a Yelp directory page, and Manito Taphouse are all sitting above them. That's the gap. The audit scored the site 76/100 — third among seven Spokane breweries audited. Close, not there. The specific drag: mobile loads slowly, five H1 tags are splitting Google's read of the page instead of directing it, and the LocalBusiness schema is incomplete. Each one is fixable. The localization score is 35/100 — some Spokane signal exists on the page, but the title tag doesn't name the location, and Google reads the title first. This report shows exactly where those fixes go.

2Your Spokane Signal

Local-anchor audit
Spokane localization signal
Partial signal — not enough
35/100

Some Spokane signal present, but the page title doesn't anchor the location. Google reads title first.

"Spokane" in page title
Title: "Whistle Punk Brewing"
"Spokane" in meta description
Meta: "Whistle Punk Brewing is a craft brewery located in Spokane, Washingto…"
Local cities / neighborhoods mentioned
No Spokane neighborhoods, Spokane Valley, or surrounding cities mentioned.
509 area code present
No 509 phone number in title/meta — moving it onsite gives Google a structured local cue.
