Document the purpose, permitted sources, allowed records, audience, and accountable SEO analyst. Do not extend access beyond that scope.

Limit and protect retained information

Collect only what keyword research insights requires. Restrict access, set a retention period, and keep credentials and private details out of broad messages or logs.

Define source and exception checks

Set checks for stale, incomplete, conflicting, or uncertain inputs. Preserve the original evidence and provide a clear human handoff when the result cannot be verified.

Keep release and decisions human-approved

Record the market and lookup date, verify critical metrics against current evidence, and treat scores as planning signals rather than promises of ranking or traffic. A SEO analyst must approve any external, consequential, or hard-to-reverse action.
