Writing a monthly client report in ten minutes with AEBOT
The agency tax on monthly reporting is real — half a day per client, every month. Here's the workflow that gets it under fifteen minutes end-to-end.
Most SEO agencies spend the first week of every month writing reports. Pull GA4. Pull Search Console. Pull rank data. Run a fresh audit. Stitch it together in a deck. Send it.
Multiply by ten clients and you've burned a week of senior time on a deliverable nobody fully reads.
The AEBOT version
- Add the site. Connect GA4 and Search Console once. Add the keywords you track.
- Schedule the audits. AuditAE re-runs your citation audits and rank checks weekly so the data is fresh when you ask. (If you're new to citation audits, start with our intro to Answer Engine Optimization.)
- Ask for the report. "Write May's report for acmecorp.com and email it to me." AEBOT chains the tool calls: reads your audit history, rank deltas, GA4 traffic, and Search Console clicks; drafts the markdown; saves it to your Reports tab; emails the PDF.
What it costs
Most monthly reports run 20–35¢ in AEBOT tokens. The underlying audits and rank checks are billed separately at $0.05 each — but you would have run those anyway. The report itself is the cheap part.
What it doesn't do
AEBOT will not invent numbers. If GA4 isn't connected, it tells you to connect it. If a keyword has no rank history, it says so. The report is honest about what it knows and doesn't.
The trade isn't "AI replaces the analyst." It's "AI does the assembly so the analyst can do the analysis." If you want to see the underlying citation methodology behind the AI-visibility numbers in the report, What counts as a citation walks through it.
