Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Palmer Landscape Design

For "landscaping company Spokane," Palmer isn't ranking in the top 10. Alderwood and Wall & Company hold the first two spots. That's the gap. The 4.8 rating and 38 reviews are a real asset. So is the localization — title, meta, and contact details all signal Spokane clearly, scoring 95 out of 100. That foundation is solid. What's holding the site back is technical. Mobile load speed is the critical issue — slow performance penalizes rankings directly in Google's core algorithm. Beyond that, the LocalBusiness schema is incomplete, most images are missing alt text, and the Lighthouse SEO score hasn't crossed 90. Fix those, and the existing local signals start doing more work. This report shows exactly where each gap sits and what to address first.

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.
