Best Practices

1. Run audits regularly — Schedule automated weekly/monthly audits
2. Export to CSV for reporting — Easier to share with stakeholders
3. Use workflows for complex tasks — Multi-step workflows ensure nothing is missed
4. Start with technical audit — Fix technical issues before content optimization
5. Track changes over time — Store audit results with timestamps for trend analysis
6. Combine with analytics — Merge SEO data with traffic/conversion data for ROI
7. Prioritize by impact — Focus on high-traffic pages and quick wins first
8. Document baselines — Run initial audit before any changes to measure impact
