How to use Overview scorecards to brief a stakeholder in five minutes

Use SEO Overview scorecards (distribution, SOV, movement) to brief a stakeholder without dumping the full Rankings table.

Prerequisites

  • Project with SEO tracking and keyword.read / keyword.update as needed

SEO Overview is the fastest stakeholder brief: distribution buckets, share of voice, estimated traffic, and movement counts for the selected date range — then drill into Rankings only for the stories that matter.

Steps

  1. Open Projects → project → Overview for the search context (or multi-engine overview if several contexts are selected).
  2. Set the date range and compare window your stakeholder cares about (for example last 7 or 28 days).
  3. Walk the scorecards: Keywords tracked / Ranking / First page, rank distribution buckets (1–3, 4–10, …), Share of voice %, and estimated traffic / traffic value.
  4. Call out Improved / Declined / New / Lost movement counts; click a bucket or movement card to open Rankings pre-filtered when you need examples.
  5. Optionally skim preview tables (top keywords, landing pages, competitors) for one concrete win and one risk before you leave Overview.

Outcome

You can brief with portfolio-level KPIs in minutes. Definitions: SEO Overview metrics.
