    Aim for 1 to 2 pages that an owner can read in 5 minutes. Lead with the story, then show the evidence.

    1. A short summary at the top. 3 or 4 sentences: what changed this month, why, and what happens next. If you cannot write it, you do not understand the data well enough yet.

    2. Business results. Calls, form submissions, orders, or booked jobs from organic search and from the map listing, compared with the previous month and the same month last year. This is the number the owner cares about.

    3. Visibility. Rankings for the target keywords, grouped by page or service. Map pack position for local searches. Mentions and citations in AI answers for your tracked prompts. Show direction and the biggest movers, not a table of 200 keywords.

    4. Traffic and engagement. Organic sessions and the pages that bring the most, with a note on any page that dropped.

    5. Work completed. What you shipped: pages, fixes, links, profile updates. One line each, tied to a goal.

    6. Issues and risks. Anything blocking progress, such as a slow template or a page not indexed.

    7. Next month. 3 priorities, each with the reason.

    What to leave out: metrics that never lead to a decision, long lists of keywords with no position change, and vanity scores with no explanation.

    Keep the format the same every month so trends are easy to see. Send it on a schedule. Doily's reports can be scheduled, sent as a PDF or a live link, and carry your logo on the Starter plan and above.

    If the owner never replies to the report, the report is not answering their question. Ask what they would do differently if it said something else, and rebuild around that.
