The Southwest Public Policy Institute (SPPI) is proud to announce that we have been ranked #1 in the July 2025 Public Policy State SEO Rankings by Tallest Tree Digital.
Tallest Tree evaluates public policy organizations on their ability to transform Expenses, Domain Rating, Backlinks, and Indexed Pages into Monthly Organic Traffic—a measure of digital efficiency and reach.
In our very first month appearing in the rankings, SPPI earned an Efficiency Ratio of 20.54x, the highest in all fifty states, meaning we generate over 20 times more monthly organic traffic than predicted based on our inputs.
This recognition underscores SPPI’s commitment to delivering high-impact research, commentary, and analysis to audiences across the Southwest and beyond—maximizing every dollar spent and ensuring our work reaches policymakers, media, and the public.
“Our mission has always been about impact, not overhead,” said Patrick M. Brenner, President of SPPI. “This ranking is proof that we’re reaching more people, more effectively, with fewer resources: exactly what a modern think tank should be doing.”
