Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Sam's Tree & Landscape, LLC

284 reviews at 4.9 stars. That's a real asset. Sam's ranks #8 organic for "tree service spokane" — second among the eight local operators this audit covers, but still below Yelp, the city site, and Tall Tree of Eastern Washington. The localization signal is strong: 95 out of 100, with title tags, meta, and contact details all anchoring the site to Spokane correctly. The gap isn't local relevance. It's technical performance — the Lighthouse SEO score sits below 90, and that's what's holding the rank where it is. Fix that ceiling, and the review volume and local signals already in place have room to work harder. This report shows exactly where the Lighthouse score is bleeding points and what to address first.
