The best use of a SPL METER is finding the highest sound pressure zones in the room, which are the locations where some kind of acoustic treatment is suggested. Room corners and other locations in the 3-D space of the room, such as first reflection points, can often be measured as having 6-9 dB higher sound pressure level than the average level in the room when music is playing. The more of these high SPL zones you treat the purer the sound will be. A SPL and test tone, e.g. 315 Hz, is a sure-fire way to map out the room, all other methods of finding these sound pressure peaks is like trying to solve x simultaneous equations in x + N unknowns. Tube traps are sometimes not best directly in room corners, sometimes they should be a foot or more away from the room corner. The sound can be worse directly in the corner.
