Reporting quality varies wildly across agencies, and it usually comes down to one question: does the report show business outcomes, or just keyword positions moving up and down in a spreadsheet.
A B2B client’s previous agency sent a monthly PDF that was, essentially, a list of keyword rankings with zero reference to actual traffic or leads. It looked like activity. It told the client almost nothing about whether SEO was actually working for their business. When we took over reporting, we tied ranking data directly to traffic and lead numbers, specifically so there was a real answer to “is this working,” not just “did we move up three spots for one keyword.”
