Every month, we send an “SEO report” to our clients.

We went through dozens of tools before we decided to build our own  reporting template using Google Data Studio.

We used Data Studio for a 3 simple reasons:

 

Connection to Google properties

Built in pulls from all of the data sources you need to build a proper report. Simply build the visual dashboard for how you want it to look and pull through key data.

 

Connection to non-Google properties

You can export data from other tools in Google Sheets (i.e. keyword rank tracking, project management info, CRM data, etc) and push into Data Studio. In other words, you can pull data from everywhere and format it into a branded, automated SEO reporting template.

 

It’s 100% free to use

You can read more about that here .
