Chapter 12: Generating an SEO Report in Website Insight

Yep, you asked for it, we listened. Using Website Insight you can now create customized reports based on the scanned data the app finds. Within a matter of minutes, you can export a report, with custom branding, and deliver it to a customer for their review! To generate a report, you'll first need to run a scan of the website using Website Insight. Once the scan is complete, you are ready to create a report! To do this follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1

Click the Generate Report Toolbar icon, or navigate to the Reports Menu > Generate Report.

Step 2

Selecting Individual Reports

To start the process of generating a fully customized report, select the page(s) from the left that you wish to include within the report. Once you select the report, you can either double-click or click Add to Selected Reports to add it to the Selected Reports area.

Selecting Multiple Page Reports

Similar to selecting individual pages to generate a report, you can also do this for multiple pages at the same time as well. On the left, select the page(s) you want to use by holding down the control key and select the page, or you can click Select All to automatically select everything. You will now see on the right, three buttons to choose from. When selecting one of those buttons, those reports will automatically be added to the Selected Reports area.

Step 3

When generating reports, you have a few options and settings available to control how these will be generated. Each report added to the Selected Reports will generate a standalone report contained within a single directory structure. The directory name is a blend of the filename+timedatestamp. This way if you have multiple reports for one page, each directory will be kept separate. A directory structure like this is useful if you just want to provide your client a single report page for them to review.

The report folder or report file name can be adjusted by clicking the Gear icon in the lower left. Here you can adjust the name used for the output file/folder.

If you would like to have all of your reports condensed into one directory structure, that is what the checkbox Condense reports into one folder does. Instead of getting a directory for each report, there will simply be one directory with all the report pages located inside of it.

Step 4

Now click Generate Report. A status dialog will appear showing the progress of the reports being generated.

When the process is complete, you will see the All Reports Generated. And that is it!
