I created this example SEO report for all of those who have recently asked for my time. I am not running an agency, I am an individual. And the fact that I like playing disc golf everyday greatly limits my desire to add to my current workload.
THE Sample SEO Report You Knew You Needed
This template will be most helpful to those already doing search engine optimization and trying to break into a more managerial type of position. This is a very generalized report and should only be used for reference. Each bullet point may, and probably will, have its own nested list including many links to supporting documentation. You will also be adding to or removing certain points based on your circumstances.
