Weekly SEO report email template

A weekly SEO report email should fit on a phone screen: a subject line with the main number, one sentence on what moved and why, the one fix you're working on, and a link to the full report. Below are three versions to copy: a good week, a flat week and a week with a drop.

What it doesn't do: RankUpside doesn't send scheduled emails yet. It rebuilds each client's report every Wednesday, and you send the link or PDF with one of these emails.

Three emails to copy.

One for a good week, one for a flat week and one for a drop. Highlighted words are the parts to fill in. The sender is a fictional sample agency.

What makes a weekly email get read.

It fits on a phone screen without scrolling. Four rules get it there.

  1. Put the number in the subject“Copperline: search clicks up 14% this month”
  2. Say the cause in plain words“The map pack is taking the clicks on gutter guard searches.”
  3. Name one fix, not five“This week we're refreshing the brands comparison.”
  4. Put the link last“Full report: {link}”

Where the numbers come from.

The report's first sentence is the email's first sentence. RankUpside rebuilds each client's report every Wednesday after the Search Console sync, so copy the summary straight across. The full outline is in the SEO client report template.

Weekly email questions.

What should a weekly SEO report email say?
The main number and its change, one sentence on why it moved, the fix you're working on, and a link to the full report. Anything longer belongs in the report itself.
Is weekly reporting too often for SEO?
Weekly suits a short email with a link, because search changes take weeks to show. Use the weekly note to show you're on it, and save the full review for a monthly meeting.
What do I write when clicks drop?
Name the cause in plain words, then the fix, then when you'll know if it worked. For example: the map pack is taking the clicks, so we're working on the Business Profile, and a title change won't help.
Can RankUpside send this email for me?
Not yet. Each report rebuilds every Wednesday and has a private link and a PDF. Paste the link into one of these emails.
