Anything not measurable yetSome numbers need a full month of tracking before they mean anything. Says why, in words. Never a guess, never a zero.
Each column is one month. A new month fills in beside this one, so you can see the trend at a glance.
Section 01

What I did this period

The work, listed every month. These are the kinds of things that go here.

Rank checks, review monitoring and site health checks run in the background. Each one shows its count of runs here.

The biggest thing found and fixed this month goes here.

Usually a wrong fact Google was showing customers, like old hours or a missing service, and what it was costing you.

Always with where it was found and the day it was fixed

I will not take credit for a number unless I measured it before the work and after. Everything above says where it came from and the day I read it.

Section 03

What’s next, and who has it

Anything waiting, and who has it. Usually a quick ask.

WithItemSinceNext step
Your team Photos of recent jobs Example The day I ask Text me a few from your phone. Real jobs beat stock photos.
Google Listing a new page Example The day it goes live Requested. Google decides when it looks. Nothing needed from you.
Section 04

What we track every month

One new column every month, so the trend is plain to see.

Next month adds its own column and this one stays exactly as it is. Once a figure is published here I never go back and change it, so what you saw last month is still what you see. Anything I could not measure says so rather than showing a zero.
