The deliverable

What do you actually get every week?

TuBe SEO builds your report every week from the same data as your dashboard: rankings, articles published, links and listings, map coverage, AI mentions and indexing. It is written for a business owner, so you can read it without a glossary.

  • The report. Eight sections you can recognize. It downloads as a PDF.
  • The dashboard. Open it on the 9th and see the article that published on the 8th.
  • The flags. A page that falls out of Google is flagged with the address and the date.
  • Want a call too? Managed SEO adds a monthly call and a named person on our team.

Section by section

What is in your weekly SEO report?

A TuBe SEO report has eight sections a business owner can read without a glossary: rankings, articles, links and listings, map coverage, AI mentions, indexing, search traffic, and what needs you next. Each row says what it contains and how often it refreshes.

The right column is how often the data refreshes, not how fast a ranking moves.
What you getWhat is in itHow often it updates
Where you rankEvery keyword your plan tracks (100, 500 or 1,000), checked in Google's top 100. This week against last week on the same keywords: what moved up, what dropped, what reached page one.Every week
Articles publishedEvery article: the search it targets, and whether it is written, waiting for your approval, or live. Approving and publishing stay two separate steps.Every week, with the running total
Links and listingsNew links that went live, links that were lost, and directory listings that went live. Every link is checked on the live page, so a removed link stops counting.Every week
Where you show up on the mapWith Local SEO Pro: your average map rank, your share of the map, and how many of the 49 points show you, for each search term. The full heatmap sits in your dashboard.Every week, with Local SEO Pro
Whether AI mentions youAcross 6 assistants: how often answers linked your site and named your business, assistant by assistant, plus the questions that started citing you this week.Every week (Gemini every other week)
Whether Google can see your pagesHow many of your pages Google holds, any page that dropped out, and pages sent to Google for indexing. A page Google cannot see cannot rank.Each time pages are checked, summed up weekly
Search trafficClicks and impressions from Google Search Console, this week against last. Impressions mean Google showed your link. Clicks mean someone chose it.Every week, once Search Console is connected
What needs you nextArticles waiting for your approval and listings still in the queue. The short list of what needs your yes.Every week

The report is built from the system itself. Nothing is retyped into a slide, so nothing gets flattered. A wrong number would be wrong in your dashboard too, where it gets spotted and fixed.

Where the numbers come from

How is each number in the report measured?

TuBe SEO reports only things that were actually checked. Rankings come from real Google results every week, with every check kept. Map coverage comes from 49 real searches around each location. Links are checked 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.

  • Every week, Google's top 100 is checked for each keyword your plan tracks: 100 on Starter, 500 on Growth, 1,000 on Pro
  • Search volume, difficulty and ad prices sit next to each keyword
  • Positions 5 to 20 get their own list in your dashboard, because one piece of work can push those onto page one
  • Google Search Console folded in once you connect it: 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, checked links, live pages.

  • Map coverage. With Local SEO Pro, 49 searches at 49 points around each location, every week. One search from your own office would tell you nothing.
  • Links. Every link is checked on the live page. A link removed next month stops counting next month.
  • Articles published. Counted when they go live, with the target search next to each one.
  • Indexing. Your most important pages are checked first, and any page that falls out of Google is flagged with the date.

How local ranking works

In plain English Every figure in your report is something that was actually checked. None of it is an estimate.

AI mentions

How do you know whether AI assistants mention my business?

TuBe SEO turns your keywords into the questions customers actually type, and you approve the list. Then every week it asks 6 assistants: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, AI Overviews and AI Mode (Gemini every other week). Three things get recorded for each answer: 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 one screenshot proves nothing

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 every question you approved is asked on every assistant, every week, and every answer is kept. Your report shows how often you were linked and named, and the trend across weeks is how you tell a real change from noise.

The list that comes out of it

  • You approve the questions first. Your plan's 20, 60 or 120 tracked questions go on what your customers really 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. That becomes the list of pages to write next.
  • Where in your area Google's AI answers name you. With Local SEO Pro, an AI-answer grid across your area every week.

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 seller at the customer's expense.

Five things you will never see in your report

  • A keyword list picked to flatter us. You choose what is tracked, and each week is compared on the same keywords as the week before.
  • 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. They do not mean anyone visited or called.
  • An AI mention proved by screenshot. A screenshot is an anecdote. Your AI numbers count every answer to every approved question, every week.
  • 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 software warns you above 90. 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 your plan includes, the weekly schedule, honest measurement and published prices. 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. What your plan includes, every month: the articles written for your approval, the weekly rank checks, the AI questions and the listings. Your report counts each one.
  • The schedule. One plain report every week, and a dashboard that shows the work as it happens.
  • The same measurement every time. The method on this page is the method you get.
  • The price. Every price is published. No metered billing, so no surprise overage charge.
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 SEO company has a contact at Google or access to the index.
  • Any control over an assistant. TuBe SEO improves what it reads about you and measures the result. Nobody can buy the output.

That is written into 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 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.

When a customer gives permission, their result appears here with the method printed next to it: what was measured, over what period, and from what starting point. No method, no publication.

In plain English We show you how we count, so you can check every number yourself.

Straight answers

Questions about proof, promises and reporting

What do I actually receive every week?

One plain report. It covers your Google rankings, articles published, links and listings, map coverage if you have Local SEO Pro, how often AI assistants linked and named you, and which pages Google holds. It sits in your dashboard and downloads as a PDF. Managed SEO adds a monthly call and a named person on our team.

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. 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 your plan includes and the same measurement every week. The Terms of Service says exactly that.

Why track AI mentions week after week instead of taking a screenshot?

Because assistants answer differently every time, so one screenshot proves almost nothing. TuBe SEO asks every question you approved on each assistant every week (Gemini every other week) and keeps every answer. The trend across weeks is how you tell a real change from noise.

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

It downloads. The weekly report saves as a PDF, and your keywords, rankings, AI answers and articles export to a spreadsheet. Your login shows the same data the report is built 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, and from what starting point. No method, no publication.

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