10 Top Choices of SEO Reporting for Web Marketing Agencies

How does your marketing agency generate SEO reports for clients?

Sure, you can manually do it on a spreadsheet, but seriously that’s really time-consuming. Your precious time is better spent on a more worthy task.

Look at this — if I’m to generate reports for 10 clients and it takes 5 days to complete the report creation — assuming I earn $100/day that means in 5 days I will lose $500 plus the stress.

But imagine if you could create and analyze the report in just a few hours with the right reporting tool?

That means I’ll save over $400.

Reporting what you did for clients at regular intervals is essential. Sadly, in 2016 about 56% of SEOs never conducted an SEO report for new clients. But if you want to measure your SEO success, you need to do it.
