Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Alderwood Landscaping

Ranking #1 for "landscaping company spokane" is real. Most competitors never get there. But the audit puts Alderwood 5th out of 6 Spokane landscaping sites on overall SEO health — and that gap is structural, not mysterious. Three things are pulling the score down. No LocalBusiness schema means Google reads the site without a clear signal that this is a Spokane business with a physical presence. The localization score sits at 60 out of 100 — the page title names Spokane, but the meta description and contact signals don't reinforce it. The Lighthouse SEO score hasn't crossed 90 yet, which affects how confidently crawlers treat the pages. 29 reviews at a 5-star rating is a genuine asset. That's the foundation. The report below shows exactly where each gap sits and what closing it requires.

THE BEST 10 LANDSCAPING 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.
