Spokane Valley, WA Hardwood Flooring Installation Company
Rank 8 for "flooring contractor spokane" is a real position — there are seven results a customer sees before yours. United Floor Covering, Yelp, and Mr. Handyman all sit above you, and two of those aren't even specialty flooring companies. That's the gap. Your localization is genuinely strong: your title tags and meta descriptions name Spokane explicitly, which is exactly what Google needs to connect you to local queries. But the site has no LocalBusiness schema and no Google Business Profile on record, so the structural signals that push a result from page-one bottom to page-one top are missing. Six of your eight images have no alt text, and your Lighthouse SEO score hasn't crossed 90 — both are table-stakes fixes. The report below shows exactly which of those gaps to close first and what each one does to your visibility.
