There’s a Better Way to Create an SEO Report
After conducting an SEO audit of a website’s performance, you want to make sure you are reporting the most relevant and valuable information to your clients, stakeholders, or fellow colleagues. Here are some tips for creating a better SEO report:
- Prioritize by urgency. Assess which SEO findings have the greatest impact on your stakeholder’s website visibility and/or user experience and prioritize action items accordingly. Other cosmetic or “nice-to-have” improvements can wait.
- Use visuals. For SEO experts and novices alike, charts and diagrams are key to understanding the current state of a website and the ways in which it can improve. Make sure to add plenty of visuals when you report on your findings.
- Provide clear solutions. Make sure that every problem you highlight is matched with a comprehensive solution. For each recommendation, make sure that you level set a timeline, who is responsible for what, and the kinds of results you expect to yield from the recommendations.
