Got my first SEO client, how to give him reports results?
Posted by myysoul on April 25, 2026 at 4:55 amHi SEO experts, I got my first client now I am confused how will I do reporting to him, he wants from me weekly reports and also monthly reports. My most important queshion is, How do I track his keywords rankings like where his website currently ranks and then share him before and after report?

GuestApril 25, 2026 at 5:13 amWebsite Squadron creates SEO reports using Looker Studio, with connectors to GSC, GA4 and Google Ads.
The customer can then go and look at his reports anytime. You can e-mail him reports daily / weekly / montly too.

GuestApril 25, 2026 at 6:33 amFor keyword rankings, use a proper rank tracker rather than checking manually. Manual searches get personalized by location, device, history, and language, so the numbers will be messy. Something like SE Ranking, Semrush, Ahrefs, AccuRanker, Wincher, or even a cheaper local rank tracker can work.
For reporting, keep it simple at first. Weekly reports should be short: what changed, what you worked on, any issues, and next steps. Monthly reports can show bigger trends like organic traffic, Search Console clicks/impressions, rankings, conversions if tracked, and completed tasks.
Also make sure you take a baseline before doing much work. Export current rankings, Google Search Console performance, GA4 organic traffic, top pages, and any conversions. Clients usually care less about “keyword moved from 34 to 27” and more about whether traffic, leads, and useful pages are improving.

GuestApril 25, 2026 at 11:34 amyou can use gsc to get the data and create reports from it, there are specialized tools but you can also use dashboard builders like metabase or google studio for it. For data from gsc you can either export it from google ui or use apis. api’s will give you better data.
