How we report

SEO reporting without the
charts that only go up

Two things arrive every month: one report and one call. The report shows where you rank, what we published, the links we earned, your map coverage, whether AI named you, and what it cost.

The deliverable

What do you actually get every month?

TuBe SEO sends one report and books one call every month. The report is one view of rankings, pages published, links earned, map coverage, AI mentions and cost. The call is thirty minutes with the person who runs your account.

  • The report. Eight sections you can recognize. Downloads to a spreadsheet.
  • The call. Thirty minutes. What moved, what did not, what happens next. No slide deck.
  • The login. Open your account on the 9th and see the article that published on the 8th.
  • The alerts. A page falls out of Google, you hear when it happens.

Section by section

What is in your monthly SEO report?

A TuBe SEO report has eight sections a business owner can read without a glossary: rankings, keywords that are nearly there, pages published, links earned, map coverage, AI mentions, index coverage and cost. Each row says what it contains and how often it refreshes.

Every section downloads to a spreadsheet. The right column is how often data refreshes, not how fast a ranking moves.
What you getWhat is in itHow often it updates
Where you rankEvery keyword we track: today, last month, and how many people search it.Whenever you ask, and every check is kept
Keywords that are nearly thereSearches where you already sit between positions 5 and 20, sorted by the traffic waiting behind each one. Where next month's work comes from.Updates with every rank check
New pages publishedEvery article: target search, custom image, and whether it is drafted, awaiting your approval, or live. Approving and publishing stay two separate clicks.As each piece lands
Links earnedWho linked, to what, and how many pitches it took. Every placement is checked on the live page.Continuously, as replies come in
Where you show up on the mapA heatmap from 49 real map searches across your service area: green top three, red buried, grey absent. Rerun over time, so you watch the map fill in.Per scan, roughly one to two minutes
Whether AI mentions youAcross 6 assistants: how often an answer appeared, linked your site, and named your business. Plus every buyer question where it named a competitor instead.Per round of checks, on questions you approved
Whether Google can see your pagesWhich pages Google has, an alert the moment one drops out, and whether AI crawlers can read your site. A page Google cannot see cannot rank.Per crawl, alerts as they happen
What it all costEvery research query and AI call, its real cost attached to the job that spent it. Not one buried retainer line.Logged per job, visible any day

There is no PDF ceremony. Your report is the system, exported. A wrong number is wrong on your account manager's screen too, so it gets found and fixed.

Where the numbers come from

How is each number in the report measured?

TuBe SEO reports only things somebody actually went and looked at. Rankings come from real search results, with every check kept. Map coverage comes from 49 real searches across your area. Links are verified on the live page. Nothing is estimated.

Rankings, and why history beats a screenshot

A single position is a photograph of one afternoon. The line is what you can reason about: climbing, holding, slipping. So every check is kept, never overwritten.

  • Checks run when you ask, even the day after something changes
  • Search volume, difficulty and ad prices sit next to each keyword
  • Positions 5 to 20 get their own list, because one piece of work can push those onto page one
  • Google Search Console folded in: what was shown, what got clicked, what is new

How keyword research works

Map coverage, links and pages

The rest is counted the boring way, the only honest way: real searches, verified links, live pages.

  • Map coverage. 49 searches at 49 points around your business. One from your own office would tell you nothing.
  • Links earned. Every placement is checked on the live page. A link removed next month stops counting next month.
  • Pages published. Counted when they go live, with the target search next to each one.
  • Index coverage. Checked across your whole site, with an alert the moment a page falls out of Google.

How local ranking works

In plain English Every figure in your report is something we actually went and looked at, never an estimate.

AI mentions

How do you know whether AI assistants mention my business?

TuBe SEO turns your keywords into the questions buyers actually type, gets them approved by you, then asks 6 assistants: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overviews and AI Mode. Each question runs several times, and three things get recorded: did an answer appear, did it link your site, did it name your business.

ChatGPTOpenAI

The assistant most customers open first. When it answers a buying question with live web results, it names businesses and lists its sources.

Being one of the names it gives is the whole game. Being one of the sources it links is how you get there.

ClaudeAnthropic

Anthropic's assistant, widely used at work. It answers in careful prose and cites the pages it drew on.

Heavily used for research and vendor shortlists, which is exactly where a B2B buying decision starts.

PerplexityPerplexity AI

An answer engine built around citation. Every claim carries a numbered source right next to it.

The cleanest read on whether your pages are treated as an authority, because the sourcing is explicit rather than implied.

GeminiGoogle

Google's assistant. It answers conversationally and grounds what it says in Google's index and live results.

The closest signal to how Google's wider systems currently understand your business as an entity.

AI OverviewsGoogle Search

The AI answer block that appears above the classic blue links on an ordinary Google search.

It reaches customers who never open an assistant at all, and it is where zero-click behavior bites hardest.

AI ModeGoogle Search

Google's conversational search experience, where follow-up questions get answered in place instead of returning a page of links.

Where a single search turns into a conversation, and a competitor gets a second and third chance to be named.

Why we report a range, not a number

Ask an assistant the same question twice and you can get different businesses, different sources, or no answer at all. A single screenshot is not evidence.

So each question is asked repeatedly, and your report gives how often you were linked and named, as a range. The only way to tell real change from noise.

The list that comes out of it

  • You approve the questions first. Nobody gets billed for questions their customers never ask.
  • Three facts per question. Answer appeared, linked, named. Quoted and recommended are different outcomes.
  • Every question where a competitor got named and you did not. The work queue for the pages we write next.
  • Where in your area Google's AI answers name you. The map-scan grid, with an AI check at each point.

Inside AI visibility

TuBe SEO has no partnership with, affiliation with, or privileged access to any of these services. Each one is sampled from the outside, the way a customer meets it. Product names and logos belong to their respective owners and appear here only to identify what is being measured.

The refusals

What does honest SEO reporting leave out?

TuBe SEO will not report a keyword list picked after the fact, rankings for phrases nobody searches, impressions dressed up as customers, an AI mention proved by screenshot, or a score invented to fill a box. Each is a standard way reporting flatters the agency at the client's expense.

Five things you will never see in your report

  • A keyword list picked to flatter us. Your keywords are agreed at the start, not assembled afterwards because five went up.
  • Rankings for phrases nobody types. Search volume sits next to every keyword. Eleven searches a year will say eleven searches a year.
  • Impressions passed off as results. Impressions mean Google showed your link, not that anyone visited or called.
  • An AI mention proved by screenshot. A screenshot is an anecdote. Your AI numbers are sampled ranges, or not reported.
  • A made-up score. When the evidence is thin, the platform says so instead of filling the box.

What an honest score looks like instead

Scores are easy to make flattering: pick a test you always pass, then chart it going up. Both scores TuBe SEO puts on your pages can tell you something you did not want to hear.

  • How well the page matches the search. The target is a band of 70 to 85, and the tool warns you above it. Chasing 100 means copying the pages you are trying to beat.
  • What the page adds that nobody else has. The thing AI answers actually reward.
  • "Not enough evidence" is a valid answer. Thin evidence produces a stated blank, never a confident-looking guess.

How page scoring works

Promises

What can an SEO company actually promise?

TuBe SEO promises the work, the schedule, the honesty and the access. It does not promise a position, and neither can anyone else. Rankings are decided inside Google, against competitors who are also working. A guaranteed ranking is a guess or a phrase nobody searches.

In the agreement

What we do promise

  • The work. Agreed articles, fixes, map scans and outreach get done, with dates in your report.
  • The schedule. One report and one call a month, plus a login that shows the work as it happens.
  • The same measurement every time. The method on this page is the method you get.
  • The costs. Every query and AI call logged, and the whole report downloadable.
Nobody honest promises these

What cannot be promised

  • A position by a date. Google changes its ranking systems without telling anyone, including us.
  • That your competitors stand still. They are publishing and earning links too.
  • Any control over Google. No agency has a contact at Google or access to the index.
  • Any control over an assistant. We improve what it reads about you and measure the result. Nobody can buy the output.

This is not modesty. It is the contract. See the Terms of Service.

No case studies

Why is there no wall of client results here?

Because TuBe SEO is new and has no client results it can publish honestly yet. Almost no agency results page can be checked: screenshots get cropped, date ranges get chosen after the fact, and “up 340%” means nothing without the starting number. Unverifiable numbers are decoration, not evidence.

When a client gives permission, their result appears here with the method printed next to it: what was measured, over what period, from what start, at what logged cost. No footnote, no publication.

In plain English We show you how we count, not numbers you cannot check.

Straight answers

Questions about proof, promises and reporting

What do I actually receive every month?

One report and one call. The report covers rankings, keywords close to page one, pages published, links earned, map coverage, AI mentions, index coverage and cost. The call is thirty minutes with the person running your account.

Why are there no client case studies on this page?

Because TuBe SEO is new and has no client results it can publish honestly yet. An unverifiable number is decoration, not evidence. This page publishes the measurement instead.

Do you guarantee rankings or AI mentions?

No. Nobody controls Google's index or which businesses an assistant names. TuBe SEO commits to the work: an agreed cadence, the same measurement every month, costs shown. The Terms of Service says exactly that.

Why is the AI number a range instead of one figure?

Because assistants answer differently every time, one screenshot proves almost nothing. So TuBe SEO asks each approved question repeatedly and reports how often you appeared, as a range. The only way to tell a real change from noise.

Can I download the data, or is it stuck in a dashboard?

It downloads. Rankings, AI mentions, pages and links all export to a spreadsheet. Your login shows the same data your account manager works from.

Will you publish my results one day?

Only if you say yes, and only with the method printed next to the number: what was measured, over what period, from what start, at what logged cost. No footnote, no publication.

The reasoning lives in why choose our SEO company, or the full FAQ.
