Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

The Tire Store

Ranking #2 for "tire shop spokane" is real traction. Liberty Tire sits one spot above you, and the gap between you two is technical, not reputational. Your 4.2 stars across 365 reviews is a genuine trust asset. But the page itself is missing an H1 tag and has no structured data — two signals Google uses to confirm what a page is and who it serves. No structured data means Google is guessing at your business type, hours, and location instead of reading them directly. That's a fixable problem. Nine of your 19 images have no alt text, and the site has no sitemap.xml. Those aren't minor oversights — they limit how much of your site Google indexes and understands. Your local signals are strong. Title, meta, and contact details all anchor you to Spokane correctly. This report shows exactly which fixes close the distance to the #1 spot.

TOP 10 BEST Tire Shop in Spokane, WA - Updated 2026
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.
