#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti I know, you likely didn’t become an SEO for the love of reporting…
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti In fact, it’s among the least favorite activities for SEOs https://twitter.com/aleyda/status/1492098492298403840
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti https://seomba.substack.com/p/your-boss-cares-about-reporting-more However, decision makers do care about reporting as it’s how they assess the SEO process investment and your work
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti The effectiveness of reports can be the difference between getting fired, more SEO support or a raise
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti But many SEO Reports are broken… they’re a compilation of dashboards automated via tools showing SEO metrics
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti 41% of SEOs asked said to only use a dashboard with data for reporting https://twitter.com/aleyda/status/1459202085715591174
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti Data from dashboards will be included in reports but they can’t replace them https://chartio.com/blog/dashboards-vs-reports-how-theyre-the-same-how-theyre-different/ REPORT DASHBOARD A visualization tool that contains the most important up- to date metrics on a topic/area, used for performance monitoring. Document featuring a collection of cleaned/sorted data (text, graphs, charts) with explanations, used for periodic analysis of single or many areas.
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti Using only automated dashboards with no personalization can be harmful Non-Meaningful Metrics to track actual progress ISSUES CONSEQUENCES No Insights, analysis nor outcome actions Irrelevant KPIs recipients don’t care about nor understand Lack of prioritization Unclear Data Presentation Confusion about actual SEO goals achievement No Visibility of SEO activities progress Lack of vision about what’s causing lack of goals achievement Uncertainty regarding next steps and needs to achieve goals Distrust of SEO
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti Although most SEOs feature business metrics that will help to connect with decision makers… https://twitter.com/aleyda/status/1459202085715591174
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti …and also add commentary to them… https://twitter.com/aleyda/status/1459202085715591174
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti … SEO dashboards (even personalized) can’t achieve all SEO reporting goals Only partially this one COMMUNICATE RESULTS EXPLAIN THE CAUSE OF RESULTS DRIVE ACTION TO ACHIEVE GOALS
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti Especially taking into consideration that most SEOs don’t always present their reports https://twitter.com/aleyda/status/1459202085715591174
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti SEO reports need to communicate process evolution towards goals… 3. HOW 2. WHY 1. WHAT How are the results going to be kept or improved to achieve goals? Has been achieved vs. what was expected? Are these the results achieved so far?
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti … explain why the different areas are or aren’t evolving as expected… 2. WHY 1. WHAT Has been achieved vs. what was expected? Are these the results achieved so far? 3. HOW How are the results going to be kept or improved to achieve goals?
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti To establish actions & request support for next steps to achieve goals 3. HOW 2. WHY 1. WHAT How are the results going to be kept or improved to achieve goals? Has been achieved vs. what was expected? Are these the results achieved so far?
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti Yes, there are timing restrictions and you need to do reporting fast to get back to "SEO execution”, but… https://twitter.com/aleyda/status/1459202085715591174
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti SEO Reporting is only a monthly effort! https://twitter.com/aleyda/status/1459202085715591174
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti I’ll show you how by using simple rules and asking a few questions to create checklist and templates to save time…
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti COMMUNICATE RESULTS EXPLAIN THE CAUSE OF RESULTS DRIVE ACTION TO ACHIEVE GOALS Let’s create effective SEO reports that help you to achieve these 3 goals…
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti MEANINGFUL KPIS CLEAR 
 DATA PRESENTATION DATA STORYTELLING … By following 3 principles through your SEO reporting process COMMUNICATE RESULTS EXPLAIN THE CAUSE OF RESULTS DRIVE ACTION TO ACHIEVE GOALS
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti Start by only using meaningful KPIs that actually communicate results.. MEANINGFUL KPIS CLEAR 
 DATA PRESENTATION DATA STORYTELLING COMMUNICATE RESULTS EXPLAIN THE CAUSE OF RESULTS DRIVE ACTION TO ACHIEVE GOALS
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti Avoid using confusing proprietary metrics which are unreliable and difficult to connect with your actual SEO goals
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti Don’t add to reports all what you monitor either, only KPIs connected to SEO goals the audience is interested on, to cut noise & minimize doubts CMO WILL CARE ABOUT THIS THIS WILL ONLY ADD CONFUSION TO CMO
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti Instead, reports should include KPIs showing performance towards goals… +50% SEO Process ROI in 12 months GOAL SEO Process ROI KPI Organic Search Revenue

What’s the site organic search traffic trend? vs Q3 2021 Q4 2021 The site organic search traffic has had a strong +39% growth in Q4 2021 versus Q3, in a steady trend to achieve goals of 30% YoY in 2022. The site organic search traffic had a -8.3% decrease in 2021 vs 2020 due to drop in Q2 and Q3 2021after being hit by Google Core Updates. However, content optimization efforts started in May and thanks to them the site started to recover in Q4 and has now a steady positive trend and is expected to fully in January 2022. If content optimization efforts continue to be made for the positive performance to be kept through 2022, the 30% YoY traffic goal for 2022 should be achievable.

 Source: Google Search Console December Branded traffic Share reached 28.9% but Still Fell Short from 30% Goal Despite an important increase from 8% to 28.9% in the last month, December’s branded traffic share results have fell short from the 30% goal. Goal: 30% branded traffic share by December Audience: CEO/CMO 
 KPI: Branded Traffic Share …. HEADING KPI CHART DESCRIPTION
#ecommerceseo at @siteground by @aleyda from @orainti #SEOReporting at #WTSFest by @aleyda from @orainti The Conflict: Explain the why behind the result, whether positive or negative, describe the cause of results December Branded traffic Share reached 28.9% but Still Fell Short from 30% Goal Despite an important increase from 8% to 28.9% in the last month, December’s branded traffic share results have fell short from the 30% goal. Why have we fell short? The “Branded Content” initiative meant drive the increase of branded traffic share suffered a 4 months delay: Planned to be released in March 2021, faced UX & development constraints, only launching 40% of planned content then, leaving 60% to be launched until October, leaving too little time to see the full results for December.

How to achieve the expected goal? Given the release delays, it’s expected to reach the +30% branded traffic share in January, a month later than what was initially planned, however, this also means a delay in the expected +50% goals for next year for which the “Commercial Branded Content” initiative had been planned to release in March. It’s then recommended to launch them in January instead, to catch up with expected results. RECOMMENDATIONS

The site organic search traffic had a -8.3% decrease in 2021 vs 2020 due to drop in Q2 and Q3 2021after being hit by Google Core Updates. However, content optimization efforts started in May and thanks to them the site started to recover in Q4 and has now a steady positive trend and is expected to fully in January 2022. If content optimization efforts continue to be made for the positive performance to be kept through 2022, the 30% YoY traffic goal for 2022 should be achievable.

Why have we fell short?

How to achieve the expected goal? Given the release delays, it’s expected to reach the +30% branded traffic share in January, a month later than what was initially planned, however, this also means a delay in the expected +50% goals for next year for which the “Commercial Branded Content” initiative had been planned to release in March. It’s then recommended to launch them in January instead, to catch up with expected results. RECOMMENDATIONS
