Every article, every ranking, in one client report.
What you published this month, what each piece was targeting, where it ranks now, and how far through production it got. Then export it as the client's report — from the same screen you were already working in.
Capture a client with a full library and at least one ranking article. Anonymise the client name and logo first.
The monthly report is the task that quietly eats a solo agency.
Two hours per client, pulling Search Console into a spreadsheet, remembering which posts went out, rebuilding a deck that mostly says "we published things." At fifteen clients that's most of a week — so it either doesn't happen, or it happens badly, and either way the client's confidence rests on a phone call rather than a document.
The report shouldn't be a separate project from the work. It should be the work, read back.
Three things a client report has to answer.
What did we do, did it work, and what's still moving. In that order, because that's the order the questions arrive in.
Month at a glance
The summary, written out
How many articles went out this month, what that brings the library to, and whether production is on track — stated in a sentence, above clicks, impressions and average position.
Full content library
Every piece, with its target
One row per article: the keyword it was written for, where it currently ranks, its clicks and impressions, and the date it went live. Pieces that aren't ranking say so.
Production tracking
Complete, or stalled and named
Each article runs a set number of production passes. The report shows passes done against passes required, rolls it up to a count, and flags anything stalled part way so it doesn't sit forgotten.
You don't build the report. You refresh it.
There's no assembly step. The report reads the work the system already did and the data the client's own Search Console already has.
Step 01
Connect Search Console
Authorised once per client. Performance lands against the right article because each piece is matched to its live URL.
Step 02
Publish through the system
Articles produced in the panel arrive in the report already carrying their target keyword and production history. Nothing gets logged twice.
Step 03
Refresh, then export
Pull the latest from Search Console and export the client's report. Same screen, same numbers, no deck to rebuild.
A zero and "not ready yet" are not the same number.
Search Console usually needs two to four weeks after an article publishes before ranking and traffic data appear. Most reporting tools render that gap as a zero — which reads to a client like the work failed.
This report says the data is still gathering, says how long it takes, and shows production progress that's live immediately. It's a small decision that buys you something specific: you can send a report in week one of a campaign without it looking like bad news.

- Production figures live from day one
- Not-ranking shown honestly rather than hidden

Every plan includes every module.
There are no feature gates. Plans differ only in how many clients you run and how much you generate for them.
