FAQ
When should I send the monthly SEO report?
Send reports within the first week of the new month. This gives you time to compile final data from the previous month while the information is still fresh and relevant.
What data sources do I need?
Google Search Console (keyword data, indexation), Google Analytics (traffic, conversions), and your SEO tool of choice (rankings, backlinks). QuickSEO combines these sources in one dashboard.
How do I show SEO ROI in a monthly report?
Track organic conversions and revenue in the Monthly Summary tab. Compare against your SEO investment (tools, content, agency fees) to calculate monthly ROI.
Should I include competitor data?
Keep monthly reports focused on your own performance. Include competitor data quarterly or when there are significant competitive shifts that affect your strategy.
How do I handle months with negative results?
Be transparent. Explain what caused the decline (algorithm update, seasonal trends, technical issue), what you're doing about it, and expected recovery timeline. Honesty builds trust.
