An SEO report can show more search clicks while the people answering enquiries see the same questions every week. Both observations may be accurate. The report becomes useful when you can trace which queries changed, where the visitors landed and whether the pages helped them take the right next step. Build the report around that chain instead of opening with an isolated traffic graph.
Choose one priority market or task first. A compact report for a city page, a terms page and the contact route can reveal more than a site-wide rollup. Document the period, changes to the site and any limits in data collection so the next person can reproduce the comparison.
Key takeaways
- Keep Google visibility, on-site actions and enquiry quality in separate rows.
- Compare matching time periods, page groups and channel definitions.
- Give releases and measurement changes dates.
- End each monthly review with a specific action, owner and verification check.

Define each measure with the people who use it
Ask the agency to define a qualified enquiry using broad approved criteria. One definition might require a current market and use of the approved contact path. Use aggregate counts in the report. Keep personal information, message contents and identifiers out of the analytics setup and report.
List the source for each measure. Search Console describes impressions and clicks from Google Search. Site analytics, where available, can describe measured organic landing sessions and contact actions. The operations team can classify enquiries it actually handles. Keep each measure paired with its own collection method. Differences in consent, time zone and how systems count visits or events can affect comparisons.
Compare like periods and page groups
Use equal-length periods where practical and state the dates. Keep the page group definitions stable. If you report Home, location pages, terms and guides, list what belongs to each group and update the mapping when pages move. Keep a small record of promotions, outages, tracking releases, migration work and availability changes that could affect the comparison.
Give each measure a denominator. Click-through rate is reported clicks divided by impressions in the same search segment. A form completion rate can use organic landing sessions as the denominator when you can consistently measure the forms associated with those sessions. If a session may generate several submissions, label the metric as submissions per session or count sessions with a completion. Qualification rate uses the number of reviewed enquiries as its denominator. Use the same definition in the table and the written interpretation.
Record where data is missing. If a new consent setup reduced measurement coverage, note the change date. If qualification is unavailable for one contact channel, keep it out of the qualification denominator. Search Console and site analytics can count differently. A report is easier to trust when it explains the difference instead of trying to make the numbers match exactly. Google’s guidance on Search Console data differences.
Build a repeatable monthly worksheet
Keep one tab for definitions and another for the comparison. Include date range, traffic scope and whether any key metric changed. In the comparison tab, use rows for the site overall and for the page groups that drive decisions. A small agency might track Home, location pages and terms. If a guide receives traffic for a substantially different audience task, give it a separate row so it does not obscure a change on high-intent pages.
| Column | How to fill it in |
|---|---|
| Page group | Use a stable group name and maintain the list of URLs behind it |
| Search clicks and impressions | Export the same search type and country filters for both periods |
| Landing sessions | Use the same organic traffic scope and landing-page rules |
| Completed and reviewed | State what was measured and how many records could be classified |
| Qualified | Count only records that match the agreed definition |
| Note and action | Record the likely issue, confidence, owner and review date |
Where traffic is low, keep the overall summary and show counts for the page group before adding percentages. If only two forms were reviewed, one additional qualified enquiry changes the rate sharply. A useful note might say “two submissions were reviewed, one met the criteria, and the sample is too small to evaluate the update.” That still gives the team a specific reason to wait or gather better evidence.
Read a worked example before recommending an action
The following numbers are illustrative. Both periods have the same duration and filters.
| Metric | Previous period | Current period | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google clicks for priority page group | 240 | 330 | Google recorded more clicks to this page group |
| Measured organic landing sessions | 210 | 280 | The analytics denominator increased |
| Sessions with a contact action | 21 | 22 | Measured rate moved from 10% to about 7.9% |
| Qualified enquiries recorded by the team | 13 | 13 | The aggregate operational count held steady |
Investigate the pages that gained visits. Suppose one city article brought more readers, while the higher-intent terms page stayed flat. Check the queries that grew before assuming the contact link broke. Then use the same mobile entry point and follow the city page to terms and contact. If the page’s next step is confusing, give a writer a precise edit and keep the event setup stable so the next period is interpretable.
Review the figures with the enquiry team
Bring one question to the review that the website team cannot answer from analytics alone. For example, “Did the new traffic lead to more contacts outside the stated coverage area?” Ask the operations team to answer in aggregate using the agreed classification. If they notice a new pattern in enquiries, check whether the relevant landing page or its search presentation could create that expectation.
When the team identifies a possible issue, set up a small test. If two location pages appear for similar searches but describe coverage differently, confirm which one the new audience reached and review the wording on both. If the team has incomplete attribution, test the pages and use what you know as a hypothesis. Keep the evidence line and the decision line separate so the next reviewer can see what was observed and what still needs testing.
Finish with a short change log. Record when the team changed a title, moved a form, fixed a redirect or adjusted the qualification rule. On the next review, start with the change date and the affected segment. A report becomes easier to act on when the same sheet tells you what the team actually did between the two periods.
Connect the report to the next release
For each issue, write the observation, your explanation and a test. “Organic visitors increased while the contact-action rate fell” is an observation. “More visitors came for broad market information” is an explanation to check with queries and landing pages. “Improve the link to the relevant conditions and verify it on the most common mobile path” is a task.
Give the task an owner and a review window. Add a decision rule such as “if the event stopped firing during the redesign, repair measurement first and establish a new baseline.” When numbers are small, report counts alongside percentages and say which findings rest on a small sample. Add a short note if aggregate enquiries include multiple sources and cannot be attributed to the organic cohort.
Flag comparisons that need a different explanation
A site change can alter both behaviour and measurement. Suppose the contact button moved into a new component halfway through the month and reporting fell immediately. Check whether the new button fired the expected event before calling the change a decline in interest. Use a test submission or a dummy navigation path. Log the start and end of any data gap so a future report can exclude it or label it accurately.
Another common case is a city page gaining brand queries after a public mention. Site-wide search totals may rise while non-branded discovery in the pilot market stays flat. Add branded and non-branded views for the priority pages where volume allows, and document how variants are grouped. Search Console may omit some low-volume queries from the visible query table. Keep that coverage limit in mind before comparing filtered totals with all traffic. For the details, see Google’s Search Console reporting guidance.
Give the reader a short decision sentence beside the comparison. If better data collection is the next step, assign it and name the check that will confirm it works. If the issue is page clarity, describe the exact screen or paragraph to review.
Close the report with decisions and owners
Write one sentence summarising the observation and one task with a named owner. For example, “Organic visits to location pages rose while qualification fell, mainly in the group entering through the regional page.” The next task could be “Review the top new query groups and test whether a reader can identify the service area before opening Contact.” Add a date to review the result.
Keep a section for issues that are still uncertain. Small volumes can make percentages swing when only a few enquiries change. Show counts beside rates and resist the urge to make a strong claim from a thin sample. Use a mobile task test, a manual query review or a better measurement check when the numbers alone cannot answer the question.
Use the 90-day agency SEO roadmap to attach each decision to the current sprint. If you find the site sends searchers to the wrong page, bring those findings into the keyword-to-page map. The report earns its place when the team knows what to check or change after reading it.

Frequently asked questions
Why don’t Search Console clicks match analytics sessions?
They describe different events collected by different systems. A search click can occur before the website loads, and analytics collection can depend on configuration, consent and other conditions. Compare trends using consistent filters and date ranges, and use each measure for the stage of the journey it actually describes.
Should I put average position at the top of the report?
Lead with the question the team needs to decide. Average position can help explain visibility for a defined group, especially alongside queries and impressions. Add landing activity and measured actions to show what happened after search visibility changed.
How do I report a phone tap or email click?
Use a label such as phone tap or email click and explain what the event captures. Report completed contacts separately when a suitable system can verify them. Test the event on the relevant templates and include the collection change date if its definition changes.
What if the enquiry team cannot attribute qualified enquiries to organic search?
Keep the aggregate qualification count in its own row and explain which records or channels it covers. Report the measured organic journey separately. The team can still use both views to identify issues, while avoiding a source-level claim the records cannot support.
