			<description><![CDATA[A reporting exercise: imagine a monthly deck with traffic, impressions, rankings and a list of completed tasks. The figures may be accurate while the reader still cannot tell what to do next.<br />
<br />
I would organise the report around three questions: what changed, what explanations are supported by evidence, and which decision needs attention. Separate observed results from hypotheses, and show the relevant page or query group rather than only a site-wide total.<br />
<br />
For a lead-generation site, define what counts as a useful enquiry before choosing the conversion chart. Include tracking limitations and any changes to the measurement setup.<br />
<br />
What would you remove from a report that is becoming too long?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Start with the decisions the report should support. Show organic visibility and traffic alongside meaningful outcomes such as qualified inquiries, sales, or engagement with key resources.<br />
<br />
Explain changes in measurement, annotate major site releases, and separate branded and non-branded trends when useful. Make the next action explicit.<br />
