Software to create reports for SEO clients

I think Seo powersuite can do it.However you have to buy the enterprise edition for that. I will try the method bartosimsonio mentioned above .
 
microsoft seo toolkit and screaming frog have same functionalty ,however I dont know if printing reports is supported.
 
Since I'm about to adventure into this,
what tools do you consider must have?

Serpbook, semrush, ahrefs are the meat n' potatoes. Their reports are easily formatted into LibreOffice.
 
Sad thing is most agencies actually spend more time on report than doing SEO, and clients think that fancy reports mean they are doing the work

Fucking damn right. Makes so many companies hate SEO agencies. I get most of my clients from word of mouth, thankfully.

I had a client years ago who was paying an agency £1000 per month for 6 months. When he signed up with me, he sent me 1 of his monthly reports. I don't know what tools they used as it was white label, however it looked fancy and sh*t with graphs, pie charts and the whole nine yards. However when I checked the reports for targeted keywords, strategy etc, all they had been doing was targeting keywords with 100-300 monthly searches, and building spammy links. It actually seemed like they were outsourcing on Fiverr. In six months they only managed to move a low comp 390 search volume keyword from 96 to 72.

Again, as above, they make our lives harder.

4.5k month client

Dashboard in analytics
Rankings of targeted keywords
Semrush for other keywords
If you really must, quite note about google updates/news
Quick paragraph what you've down - share a Dropbox link and dump ya shit in it so they see 'work' - share and they'll ignore it
Bullet points of what you're doing the next month


One page report. Mostly copy and paste

Done

Exactly, that's what I'm doing right now as we speak.

Metrics, rankings, traffic, conclusion - explanation of what went on and what's happening next month. If you like it, carry on paying me, if not, fuck off and I'll find someone else.

Same template every month, simple!

Your job as the SEO is to get results but also if you're working with the marketing director or middle man between you and big boss... Make THEM look good ;) Works every time if you get the results
 
maybe that big client left them because all they did was print big fancy reports :p

does bossman actually care?
 
My experience doing freelance work for major UK agencies is, that it varies from agency to agency. Some don't give a sh*t about their clients as they are swamped due to the amount of money they put into branding, advertising campaigns, adwords, facebook ads etc. On the other hand, the smaller agencies have a much better work ethic and attitude towards clients. I have worked for agencies who were "result orientated", ie get results but don't tell us how you got them -).
 
Any recommendations on SEO software to print reports for clients? I picked up a pretty big client that is leaving another company that prints up a big fancy report that's tied into google analytics. I only do a few local clients so don't want to spend a ton of money monthly on it. Is there any free or cheap reporting software out there?

seopowersuite should be able to print out that "fancy meeting powerpoint stuff".

also, their was a guy here on BHW, that does 60 page reports for 10€ or so ;).
hit him up. I guess he does some fancy piecharts there too

impressive. Bet I could have moved it -30 in 1 week ;).

could, I have to check that out!

on topic:
try
onpage.org
they also look "fancy 9 yards"
 
A lot of software are available but if you like to make report as like you want just go with separate tools for all the stats and combine it as work.[it needs some work hours] or go with some software like SEO power suite, SemRush etc., GOOD LUCK.
 
Found these via Google search:
  • Reportgarden.com
  • Whatagraph.com
  • Dashthis.com
  • Raventools.com
They seems to be nice, however they are paid. Try the LibreOffice too that bartosimpsonio has suggested.

I don't want to do separate tools, I really don't want to spend more than 20mins on it, if that. But I guess I might ahve to.

Yeh I found those too> don't seem overly expensive, I might go that route. I don't really give a shit about it but I know going from a fancy report to nothing, they'll probably wonder what's going on.
 
darm, now I have to use this myself..

Got a client. Cheched his page, his competition, and rankings...
phoned 30 minutes with him, telling him "only REAL IMPORTANT thing" would be needed some "average" - checked from the competition (some would call that sneaky, some call it linkbuilding, some competitor analysis)....

send him the offer , he replied with something "wel,, thats a bit skimpy"

I thought "WTF"...

so much guys for trying to do 95% of the way and keeping budget low.

NOW, I will sniff every missing alt text from his page, create a 200 row excel, add 5 PDFs from different ressources and quadrupple his bill...

5% - that wont improve rank shit... and is just the typical whitehat gurubloggercrap...

so much for trying to stay in a budget.... I just shook my head.

glad, I dont have to rely on this job -

well, in fact thy pay for it...
 
As someone who doesn't like to solely rely on 1 tool for any given task, I currently have in my arsenal, Majestic, Ahrefs, LongTail, SEOToolbox, SerpFox, Mondovo, and Semrush. I probably use Majestic SEO and Semrush the most.
Did you bought all the subscriptions or is that a group buy ?
