SEO reporting tools

SEO reporting tools can help you prove your success, monitor your campaigns, and identify key metrics of your website. They also give you an insight into various aspects of your site, such as:
- Rankings.
- Backlinks.
- Competitors.
- Audience.
- Content performance.
This article examines SEO reporting tools. It evaluates their strengths to help you make informed decisions about investing in them.

Best overall: SEMrush
No tool matches the SEO reporting, data, visualization depth, and quality of SEMrush. Besides, for a platform that houses more than 400 tools, SEMrush’s user interface and navigation are extremely intuitive and user-friendly.
So what do you get from this swiss-army-knife of SEO?
Combine Data from Multiple Sources
You can analyze your site and build your SEO reports using data from more than 20 marketing sources, including these:
- SEMrush tools
- Google Search Console
- Google Analytics
- Google Business Profile
And more.
Besides, users do not need any technical knowledge to build reports. SEMrush makes this process easy with drag-and-drop widgets.
Custom Reports and Report Templates
SEMrush lets users build custom reports from scratch or speed up their dashboard development with ready-to-use report templates.
You can access report templates for different reporting needs, including these:
- Monthly SEO reports.
- Competitor analysis reports
- Site audit reports
- Google Business profile performance reports
- Organic search position reports
- Backlinks reports
- Domain comparisons
Each report will include a detailed analysis across multiple performance indicators.
For example, if you choose the Monthly SEO reports template, you will fill out a form to analyze your domain.

The report you’ll get will breakdown your domain data by performance indicators like these:
- Traffic
- Keywords
- Backlinks
- Site audit
Under traffic, you’ll get a full breakdown of your site’s traffic performance for the month, including:
- Visits
- Unique visitors
- Pages per visit
- Bounce rate
- Visit duration
- Traffic sources

Even these traffic metrics get a deeper breakdown. For example, see this breakdown of traffic sources by country:

Like the traffic report., each metric gets a full data breakdown across its key indicators. So SEMrush gives you a granular report covering all parts of your website.
Report Automation
You can generate and send automatic reports to target persons, like customers and team members, so they’ll receive scheduled PDF reports daily, weekly, or monthly.
Plus, you can turn reports into templates and use them for future reporting.
Client Portal and White Label Reports
SEMrush lets you match your report to your brand identity, including your logo, brand colors, and contact information. In addition, it allows you to eliminate all SEMrsuh mentions from your emails and reports to clients.
So you can do these:
Set the email address to send your reports
- Accept replies
- Customize your message
- Add a custom signature
- Use template or custom themes for your reports
- Save your customized report as a template for a future report
SEMrush also supports client portals so you can provide your clients with online access to reports and tasks.
Pricing
SEMrush is an all-in-one tool, and the price reflects this. It has three plans, starting at $119.50 a month if you pay per year to save 17%.

And this is for only SEO performance overview > Rank Tracking > Keyword distribution. You’ll find an in-depth analysis like this for each ranking report.

- Highest Rank
- Visibility percentage
- Top rated keyword for that page
Keyword Suggestions
Advanced Web Ranking (AWR) helps you find keywords to track for your domain name by suggesting them when you use its keywords suggestion feature.

You can choose keywords and add them to your basket to track. Furthermore, you can filter keyword suggestions and add only those you want to monitor.
This setting helps you see your best-ranking keywords in your reports.

Tracking Frequency, Page Depth, and Location
You can control your tracking frequency, page depth, and location. Besides, AWR lets you select the country you want to track for each keyword.
You can also track how many pages your results would show per keyword—five or ten. And you can set your tracking frequency to daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, or paused.

When you pause tracking, it doesn’t refresh unless you do an on-demand refresh or restart tracking.

AWR lets you track keywords across search engines. So, you can set each search engine to provide data by country and device.

You can also set custom search types:
- Images
- Videos
- Maps

- Jobs
So you can track keywords by any of these search types. In addition, AWR lets you track keywords by specific locations within your selected country.
You can choose your search engine based on five language options.

Accuranker
AccuRanker offers a native connector for Google Data Studio, so that you can integrate your AccuRanker data with the data visualisation platform.

If you have clients, you can share reports with them automatically. For example, AccuRanker has a white-label service where you can add your logo, set up the data you want the client to access, and schedule monthly reports.
So users get these:

Why use an SEO reporting tool?
SEO reporting tools help you understand your business performance and demonstrate your value to clients. In addition, these reports help you show progress towards achieving your key performance indicators (KPIs).
As you probably know, enviable organic SEO results don’t appear overnight. Without reports, you can’t justify your effort as clients would have no reliable way of knowing what progress you’ve made so far on their projects.
Of course, you can pull together the data yourself. But an SEO reporting tool saves you time and money.
Most SEO reporting tools use the power of technology to build and deliver reports on time and improve reporting accuracy. These technologies include these:
- Automation
- Drag-and-drop builders
- Connectors
- Visualization tools
- Task managers
You can set up most of these reports once and only attend to them when you need to make changes.
How we reviewed
To choose the best SEO reporting tools out there, we looked at:
- Integrations: You’ll need data from multiple sources to provide accurate reporting.
- Customizability: SEO reporting tools must adapt to a wide range of users’ needs so that these users can customize reports to their heart’s content.
- White labeling: Reporting tools must reinforce your brand or client’s brand with appropriate color, logo, and design compatibilities.
- Pricing: SEO reporting tools must justify their prices and accommodate many users.
- User login limits: Accounts allows multiple users access or accounts.
- Design/UX: Poor UX frustrates users. So we only included tools that support easy reports building and a pleasant report user experience.
- Support: We included tools that provide quality customer support resources and contact options.
Summary
Choose your SEO reporting tool based on your most essential needs. Your purpose of use should guide your decision. If you’re an agency, you want to favor the best overall—SEMrush—or use AgencyAnalytics. If rank tracking influences your work the most, AWR might be the best fit. If dashboarding is a big deal, you might want to use Data Studio or Supermetrics.
