Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Heritage Funeral & Cremation

Rank 1 of 7 audited Spokane funeral homes. That's a real position to defend. For "funeral home spokane," Heritage sits at #2 organic and #3 in the local pack — with Riplinger holding the top spot in both. One gap is technical: the Lighthouse SEO score is under 90, which affects how efficiently Google crawls and renders the site. Fix that, and the structural case for #1 gets stronger. The localization signal is already working. Title tags, meta descriptions, and contact details all anchor the site to Spokane — 75 out of 100. The 4.6 rating across 91 reviews adds trust signals Google weights in local ranking. The rest of this report shows exactly where the Lighthouse score is losing points and what closing that gap looks like.
