  • Generate password-protected live web links that clients can view anytime on mobile or desktop.

EXECUTION PLAYBOOK

How to Do & From Where to Do (4 Steps)

01

Create a New Report

Screen: Left Sidebar → Click 'Reports' under your project → Click 'Create Report'.

Choose a starting template: 'Full Marketing Suite', 'Core SEO & Technical Audit', or 'PPC & Ads Performance'. Give your report a descriptive name (e.g. 'October 2026 Performance Deck').

Pro-Tip Templates can be customized and saved as reusable agency agency presets.
02

Customize Widgets & Add Strategic Commentary

Screen: Report Canvas → Drag & drop sections and edit commentary blocks.

Add an 'Executive Summary' block at the top to highlight key wins (e.g. '+42% organic traffic', '3 new keywords in Top 3'). Reorder widgets to prioritize metrics most important to your client's executive team.

Pro-Tip Clients value your strategic commentary and interpretation far more than raw charts.
03

Configure Automated Delivery Schedules

Screen: Report Settings → 'Schedule & Automation' tab.

Enable recurring scheduling. Select frequency (Weekly or Monthly), day of month, dispatch time, and recipient email addresses. Toggle 'Attach PDF' to include the file directly in the email.

Pro-Tip Set the email sender name to your account manager's name for a personal touch.
04

Download Print-Ready PDF or Share Live Link

Screen: Top Right Header → Click 'Download PDF' or 'Share Live Link'.

Inspect the generated PDF. The typography, margins, and vector charts render cleanly without awkward page-break splits. Copy the live shareable URL if the client prefers interactive browsing.

Pro-Tip Live web links stay synced with real-time data automatically.
