Do you explain the "why" behind SEO recommendations, or just tell clients what to do?

Some clients want the reasoning every time; others just want the task list. Curious how much explanation you actually give by default before they ask for it.

I usually give a brief “why” with each recommendation so clients understand the value without overwhelming them.

Explain the benefits for them - that’s all they care about and rightly so.
