Measure & Prove

How Can I Prove SEO Work Was Actually Completed?

Compare timestamped crawl evidence from before and after the change, then verify that the failing condition is gone.

Use timestamped crawl summaries, finding evidence and fresh rechecks to review delivered SEO work without relying on an unverified status update.

Connected workflow

From the current state to the next verified decision

You capture the starting state as a timestamped crawl before anything changes, define the condition that would count as done, then recheck after delivery against a fresh observation. Each finding carries a detected, verified or regressed lifecycle, so the record shows what the site exposed at each point rather than what a status update claimed.

  1. 1

    Capture the starting state

    Run a crawl and preserve the observed site condition and finding set.

  2. 2

    Define the expected condition

    Use the finding's detection rule and fix guidance to make completion testable.

  3. 3

    Recheck after delivery

    Compare a fresh observation with the expected condition and keep regressions visible.

A practical place to start

Agree on the measurable site condition before work begins, then use a fresh crawl to evaluate it.
