What is an SEO report?

An SEO report is a document that consolidates data from multiple sources (e.g., Google Search Console, Ahrefs, SEMrush) to track and display key performance indicators (KPIs) (e.g., keyword rankings, organic traffic, backlinks), enabling teams and agencies to monitor SEO performance and create presentations for clients and executives. 

SEO reports are typically created using flexible tools like Google Looker Studio, Power BI, Google Sheets, or platform-specific solutions to enable high customization and integration of multiple data sources.

What to include in an SEO report?

An actionable SEO report balances context and specificity based on the audience (executives, managers, and analysts) and their use cases.

Executive SEO reports

Executive reports for CMOs, CEOs, and clients show SEO's bottom-line impact. Reviewed weekly, monthly, or quarterly, they include:

  • SEO ROI analysis: by channel, using attribution for large budgets (≈100k/mo).
  • Traffic analysis: organic traffic growth, bounce rate, session duration
  • Cohort analysis: retention, expansion, and LTV by customer cohort (sign-up period, acquisition channel)
  • Add text for additional context to translate metrics for non-technical audiences. Present in slide decks and simplified Looker Studio reports.

SEO manager reports

Manager reports have cross-channel views with drill-downs to see performance by client, brand, region, team member, funnel stage, and campaign. They help align teams, define tactics, and include:

  • Cross-channel reporting: overall SEO performance, product, client, or region reporting across channels
  • Goal tracking: compare current performance vs objectives
  • Audits for prioritization and spotting issues 
  • Competitive analysis for keyword and backlink mapping
  • Topic, keyword, content, audience research

Operational SEO reports

Operational reports for analysts and SEO managers have granular, customizable KPIs to solve technical issues. Monitored hourly, daily, or weekly, they cover:

  • Keyword performance: rankings, impressions, clicks
  • Technical SEO: site speed, crawl errors, mobile usability
  • Backlink analysis: new and lost backlinks, domain authority
  • Content performance: page views, engagement metrics

Operational SEO reports are highly customized, built in flexible tools like Google Sheets or Looker Studio to enable data cleaning, blending, annotations, and integrating multiple sources.
