Do clients actually understand Local SEO reports, or just nod along?

Quick question for people doing Local SEO 👇

Most tools give a lot of data - rankings, grids, reviews.
But I’ve noticed the hard part is explaining:

  • what actually changed
  • why it changed
  • and what to do next

So I’m curious how this works for you:

  • Do your clients really understand your reports?
  • Or do you simplify heavily?
  • What part takes the most time?

I’m currently trying a different approach - more like a “clarity layer” on top of Local SEO data:

  • shows where visibility is lost (geographically)
  • connects rankings + reviews into one explanation
  • gives a clear focus for the next 30 days

I’m looking to test this with a few real locations.

I’ll:

  • run weekly analysis
  • turn it into client-ready insights (not raw data)

Free - I just want honest feedback and to understand real workflows better.

Curious to hear how you handle this today.
