SEARCH PERFORMANCE REVIEW · Workflow idea

See which search terms are moving—and what may need a closer look.

Compare recent keyword positions with the previous week and organize notable improvements, declines, and missing results into a concise report. Keep the reporting period and source measures visible so a search specialist can verify each observation before saving conclusions or changing a content plan.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

Approved keyword positions for the latest seven days and the preceding week

“Compare weekly keyword ranking records, prepare observations and possible areas to investigate, and hold conclusions for a specialist to verify.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps website owners turn a week of search ranking data into a practical research brief.

  1. Choose the keywords and reporting periods

    Confirm the approved site, keyword set, latest seven-day period, and directly preceding comparison period.

  2. Gather current and prior positions

    Keep available rankings and missing results tied to each keyword and date range.

  3. Identify notable movement

    Highlight improvements, declines, and terms without a visible result without assuming a cause.

  4. Prepare research questions

    Suggest pages or terms a specialist may want to investigate and distinguish observations from interpretation.

  5. Verify before saving or sharing

    Have an authorized reviewer check the dates, figures, explanations, and audience before recording conclusions or distributing the report.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

The handoff

A draft weekly search-performance summary with its reporting period and source measures available for human review.

Keep in mind

Ranking changes do not establish why a page moved, and estimates may be missing or affected by the measurement context. Check dates, terms, and source figures, treat suggestions as questions rather than facts, and require a specialist to review the summary before it is saved as a conclusion, used to change content, or shared externally.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose the site and keyword set

Identify the website, approved search terms, and person responsible for interpreting the results.

Set a consistent weekly comparison

Define the seven-day reporting window and how incomplete, duplicate, or unavailable results are shown.

Choose a restricted report destination

Keep draft summaries and underlying measures accessible only to people responsible for search research.

Test improvements, declines, and missing results

Confirm unusual changes and absent rankings remain visible for review rather than becoming unsupported conclusions.
