Spokane local-SEO audit · prepared for

Tree Service Spokane.

You hold the local pack at #1 for "tree service spokane." That's real. But the organic results above you belong to Yelp, the City of Spokane, and Tall Tree of Eastern Washington — and your site scores last among every tree service audited in Spokane. The core problem is structural. No page title. No H1. No meta description. Google is reading a page that doesn't say what it is, or where it operates. Zero out of 100 on localization signal. Spokane doesn't appear anywhere Google looks first. This report shows exactly which tags are missing, how your GBP's 18 reviews compare to what's ranking above you, and what to fix in what order to close the gap.

for tree service spokane
