Measure and report your SEO work
How do you account for your SEO effort?
An SEO beginner and a seasoned SEO practitioner alike often have a similar question: how to report their work to customers? Even if they do not bill per hour, they need to tell their customers how much time they've spent optimizing sites. So do you have a convenient method to measure your effort to achieve a contracted SEO result for your clien
t?
If you now make records on paper or keep everything in your head until you make up a report, you may want to forget about this old method and look at WebCEO Journal - an automatic time measuring and reporting tool.
All you have to do to start gauging is make a few general settings, such as to start recording the duration of your work with a tool, and/or whether you will make a note in the journal when you start a new project, create a new task name, etc.
In the process of your work on a project, you may want to make a note related to it, for example ('14 days after the major optimization and sitemap submission'). WebCEO Journal allows you to make such notes; they can be attached to your work summary report.
What information can you find in the WebCEO Journal?
WebCEO Journal gives five different presentations of your activities.
The most general 'Project Overview' report lists all your projects and specifies the total time spent on each project.
'Task Overview' shows a list of tasks and corresponding hours and minutes you devoted to each of them.
The 'Summary' report is a more detailed report where the data are grouped around both projects and tasks; it will tell you the project's name, each of the tasks you performed for this project, and the total time spent on each task.
'Details by task' is very much similar to 'Summary', it only adds the starting and ending time spent on a task.
'Notes' gives you the most complete information: date and time, project, task and a note pertaining to the moment you now are writing or to any other data.
As always, WebCEO allows you to look at your results from different angles, giving you a more well-rounded picture.
