We recommend your SEO report contains the following eight sections:

Security: focusing on the security features of the site and if there are vulnerabilities

Technology: a list of all 3rd-party technologies that are used on the site

Recommendation: This is an important part where you make recommendations for improving SEO performance based on the findings above

Results Executive Summary

The purpose of the first page is to give the recipient of the topline results on one page. This can be challenging because SEO is complex and there are a lot of inputs and variables. However, stakeholders typically want summarized insight into why it is important to use methods of summarization in order to quickly deliver results.

Business summary plan

We recommend the traditional scorecard that the value of a website on a scale from A + to F-. This level system is famous throughout the world and anyone can quickly grasp that A is really excellent and F is really bad. You will need to individually grade the performance of any part of the report: SEO, Usability, Performance, Social and Security (no class Technology – this is just a list). Then apply to the site overall gradation.

The advantage of summarizing performance into a single class is the next course of action implied. In the above example, if a website overall grade of A-, the next logical action is to make some improvements to SEO to achieve grade A and then tweak more to achieve an A + grade. This kind of development does not need explanation that inherently implied and you can focus on what the client or your boss needs to be done in order to improve their class (and why they should hire you / keep working with you!).

Another subtle advantage of the system with high levels of mental scorecard transporting a client or your boss back to school and throw you as a teacher / educator. Of course this is the unspoken but it Can add weight to the recommendation and help increase the need to improve performance. After all, there is no site owners will be satisfied with the “failure” of the site.
