Spud Pest Control

Spud Pest Control has real credibility. A 5-star average across 178 reviews is a strong foundation most competitors don't have. But the site isn't ranked for "pest control Spokane." Spokane Pest Pro and Senske are above you — and Reddit is pulling a top-3 spot ahead of you too. The core issue is location signal. Your homepage title and meta description don't mention Spokane. Google doesn't know where you operate. That's the gap. Half your images are also missing alt text, which compounds the problem — every missing tag is a missed signal. Small fix, measurable return. This report shows exactly where those signals are absent and what to add first.

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.
