Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Skyline Tree Service llc

#2 in the local pack. That's real traction. A 4.9 rating across 139 reviews is the kind of trust signal most competitors can't touch. But the site itself is leaving rank on the table. No H1 tag, no meta description, and zero LocalBusiness schema means Google is guessing at what Skyline does and where. The localization score is the sharpest gap: 0 out of 100. Spokane doesn't appear in the homepage title or meta description anywhere. The page doesn't tell Google where it operates. That's a fast fix with a direct ranking consequence. Among the eight Spokane tree-service sites audited here, Skyline scores 72 and sits fifth overall. The report below shows exactly which structural signals are missing and what closing those gaps looks like.
