Diagnosis first. Then the cure.

The problem

Someone just asked ChatGPT who to hire. It wasn't you.

You've built a good business. People who know you refer you, and the work speaks for itself. But the people who don't know you yet ask a search box, and the search box names someone else. It shouldn't come down to who figured out the machines first.

How we work

A good doctor doesn't prescribe before diagnosing.

We don't sell you a package and hope it fits. We look first, with 40 checks across search, AI visibility, local presence, social signals and conversion, and then we tell you in plain English what's leaking, biggest win first.

What Spokane owners say on Google

Cory went through my business (Team Crenshaw Real Estate Photography) with a fine-tooth comb and handed me a clear plan with specific fixes. It was a lot, but his expertise cleaned up a ton of issues I didn't even know I had. I've already knocked out several and I'm working through the rest with my vendors. If you want someone to tell you straight what's holding your business back online and exactly how to fix it, call Spokane Biz Doctors. Thank you, Team Crenshaw Real Estate Photography.

Cory gave our company a free audit, great information, great guy he provides a top notch service would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Garrett Black · Google review

Spokane Biz Doctors built my website and greatly improved my business's internet presence. Cory is a local Spokane provider and worked closely with me to develop the website. The difference in client requests on my website was noticeable right away. It is without reservation that I highly recommend Spokane Biz Doctors!

Ryan Es · Google reviewRead it on Google

Cory is deeply knowledgeable about integrating and implementing systems to help grow your business. His local experience and expertise are unmatched!

Rachel Krouse · Google review

I met Cory a few weeks ago when I told him that I started a business earlier this year. He ran a 40 point test on my business and it was so neat seeing the leaks that I wasn’t able to see on my own. He then helped guide me to get those fixed to help my business be a lot more visible, especially in the AI and social media age that we are living more and more in. 10/10 recommend!

Brady Heaps · Google reviewRead it on Google

We couldn’t be happier with the website and online presence he created for us. He was incredibly patient throughout the entire process and truly went above and beyond to make sure our website was not only professional, but also relevant and useful to our community. When the Spokane fires happened, he took the extra time to help us bring important, up to date information to our website to support fire victims and those affected by the fires. That meant so much to us, and it really showed the kind of person he is – not just someone doing a job, but someone who genuinely cares. He helped our business become much more relevant and visible online, and we are so grateful for his expertise, patience, and willingness to go the extra mile. On top of being incredibly talented at what he does, he is just a really nice guy. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to build or improve their online presence!

Sarah Sears · Google reviewRead it on Google

Custom solutions for custom challenges. Always available and willing to create and hold the line when needed. The mix of professionalism, creativity, and personality for the win! Been a client for years and will continue to refer Cory and his team.

How AI picks who Spokane calls.

WordPress, Wix and Squarespace

Still on PHP? Time to come out of your shell.

On October 21, 2026, PHP shipped emergency fixes for PHP2Shell: two critical flaws that can let a stranger run code on a web server without logging in (PHP's advisory). WordPress and its plugins run on PHP, so every WordPress site needs that update, and the next one.

Wix and Squarespace patch their own servers, but you rent the site. You can't take the code with you, and you get only the speed, schema and AI features the platform allows.

We work with Socializemy, a Spokane studio that rebuilds sites as fast static sites with no page builder, no plugins and no database. Every page you rank for keeps its address. Then we build in the AI: answer pages ChatGPT can cite, and the agents and automations that do real work for your business.

Three ways to stop worrying about PHP

Wix or Squarespace

Safe, but rented

Pro: They patch the servers, so there's no PHP for you to update.
Con: AI on their terms. You get the AI features they ship. Wix lets outside agents browse its store and bookings; Squarespace gives you an llms.txt text box and code injection on paid plans.
Con: No agents that run your business. Squarespace runs no code of yours on its servers, and custom work on Wix is Wix-only code. So leads get followed up by hand, data gets copied between tools, and every gap is another paid app.
Con: A subscription for as long as the site exists, and the code never leaves the platform.

Hardened WordPress

Yours, but a second job

Pro: You own it, and there's a plugin for almost anything.
Con: Plugins are where WordPress breaks: Patchstack found 91% of last year's WordPress vulnerabilities in plugins.
Con: PHP itself needs patching too, as PHP2Shell just showed. Managed hosting and constant updates become a standing cost.

Static rebuild + AI Our pick

Yours, with nothing to break into

Pro: No PHP, plugins or database for an attacker to run.
Pro: You own the code, and every ranking page keeps its address.
Pro: AI wired to your business: answer pages ChatGPT can cite, plus agents that qualify, follow up and book, like the AI lending storefront we run that qualifies applicants before a human picks up the phone.
Trade-off: An upfront rebuild, and bigger changes go through us.

After

Stop guessing about search and start fixing it in order.

You'll know exactly what's broken and what to fix first. And the next time a neighbor asks ChatGPT or Google who to call, they find you.

Every week you're missing from the answer, the call goes to someone else.

Apps and automations

We also build tools that do the busywork. Meet Buddy.

Spokane Biz Doctors builds productivity apps and automations for your business: small tools that take repetitive work off your team's plate.

FAQ

Straight answers.

All questions, answered

Is this just another generic AI ebook?

No. The 90-day Protocol is generated from your intake answers: your numbers, your neighborhood, your bottlenecks. Two Spokane businesses get two different documents. If any section of yours reads generic, that's a defect, and we'll fix it.

Full answer →

I'm not a tech person. Can I still use this?

Yes. Every recommendation comes with plain-English setup steps written for a non-technical owner, including the exact prompts to use. And if you'd rather not touch any of it, that's what the Triage Call and the done-for-you build are for.

Full answer →

Why is the Protocol $497 and not $5,000?

Because the diagnosis is machine-assisted and the judgment isn't. A consultancy would bill forty hours to produce this and charge accordingly. We built the diagnostic engine once, it runs against your business in minutes, and a Biz Doctor reads every section before it reaches you. You're paying for the prescription and the review, not for someone's billable afternoon. The price is the price; there's no founding discount, no countdown, and no version of this where waiting gets you a better number.

Full answer →

What if I get stuck?

You're never left alone with a document. The Optimization Setup & Triage Call is a working session with a founder. We execute your hardest moves together, live, rather than handing you another plan. It's open to owners with a verified Spokane Biz Doctors purchase, so your order number is your way in.

Full answer →

Does this work for my industry?

The diagnostic works for any local business that needs to be found and chosen: trades, clinics, restaurants, professional services, retail, and more. The prescriptions change by industry; the method doesn't. If your model is genuinely outside what we can help with, we'll tell you before you spend a dollar.

Full answer →

How soon will I see results?

The Protocol arrives within 24–48 hours of you sending your answers back. Business results depend on execution: some fixes, like your Google Business Profile category, can move visibility within weeks, and the full plan is sequenced over 90 days. We don't promise a revenue number; anyone who does is guessing.
