Best SEO Analytics and Client Reporting Tools

[smeatz]

If any of you are professional SEO consultants currently conducting SEO for clients, could you please detail the names (and cost, if possible) of the Client Reporting tools / tracking & monitoring tools / software program/s you use?

I'd be most grateful for any information you can give me here. I currently use WEB CEO for a lot of my site management tasks. I use SEO Elite for analysis (along with Google Analytics). However, I'd really like to get into SEO consultancy on a more professional level and would appreciate whatever positive, constructive advice around the tools used that you care to share with me.

Cheers,

Smeatz

Guys... I am hoping to hear from an SEO EXPERT who makes his / her living solely from SEO. I am specifically wanting to hear from you SEO consultants who use analytical tools, tracking and monitoring tools, and client reporting tools. I am very keen to know WHICH ones you use - why you use them as opposed to others on the market - and most of all... which Client Reporting SEO Software you use to create and send out monthly reports.

To create monthly reports? I don't use any tools... I create them on my own. I only use tools to determine traffic, backllinks, broken links, SERP and etc... though sometimes I do it manually as well. I don't really use just one tool for all of those but I use more than one to get a better idea on how the site performs... for example, I use both GA and awstat to look at the sites traffic and use both for my reports to the client...

I've heard that Web CEO is good - and free.

[chowell]

We use a combination:
- Manually created reports
- Analytics exports/re-formatted reports
- WP reports (or similar)
- WebCEO (in rare cases)
- SEO Administrator (in rare cases)
- Marketleap's LinkPop & Saturation tools
- Xenu Link Sleuth

Many others as well, but those are the most common.

anyone of you use the webmaster tool and nielsen? Jabo is right, you don't need to use tools to create a client report. Just do your stuff. That's much better and simple. Go use a tool to check the needed information for your report.

There's no need actually. The most important thing to give to your client from the understanding from my previous seo coach is to give an analysis of the campaigns carried out like link management and exchanges, site content, KEI and kewords optimisation. After which monitor the rankings and traffic through web analytic software.

You can compile your campaign through excel e.g articles promoted, forums marketing carried out etc. As an seo consultant. you probably managing and building links for your clients, create analysis of keywords and provide consultation if there is profitability in the keyword being targetted. In addition, provide advice on keyword selection. Normally, seo services include element of SEM as well.

To end, web analytics and traffic statistic as well ranking for keyword is more than sufficient. To make it more value added and professional, showcase your campaign. Forget to say, web optimisation of the web site is normally included. Web design + SEO combination....

Apologize if bad english is used as I'm pretty sleepy but inspiration and ideas just keep popping up......

has anyone use VisiStat? (sorry cant post the link <10 post just google it)

I haven't use it but the reporting seems very good and accurate.

I'll love to hear for those SEO expert out there who is/was using this tool please share your experiences good and bad, thanks.

I'm not readily convinced that the answer lies in what tools and which reports are used. In some regards, they're all doing the same thing: measuring the effectiveness of a website or PPC campaign.
This calls for a sufficient understanding of the basics of SEO and, as far as possible, some proven experience of how a given site has been (or can be) made more successful. There is, of course, always room for someone new to enter the consultancy field, but the primary test is whether they know what they're talking about, which calls for more than mere theory and sheer guesswork.
