What it is
Keyword.com gives you multiple ways to share ranking data with clients, stakeholders, or internal teams.
Reporting is the primary output of the platform. It’s how your SEO work gets communicated, evaluated, and sold.
There are four main ways to share reports:
ViewKeys - live client dashboards
Scheduled Reports - automated email reports
Manual Exports - PDF, CSV, or Text downloads
Embedded Reports - live dashboards hosted on your own website
This guide helps you choose the right method for your workflow.
Why it matters
Different stakeholders need different reporting formats.
Clients often need live dashboards
Executives prefer PDF snapshots
Internal teams may want CSV exports
Agencies need white-labelled reports
Portals may require embedded dashboards
Understanding the differences ensures you deliver reports that match expectations.
The four ways to share reports
1. ViewKeys - Live client dashboards
A ViewKey is a live, read-only version of your project. It updates automatically as rankings change.
Best for:
Client dashboards
Ongoing SEO retainers
Transparent, real-time reporting
Agencies managing multiple accounts
ViewKeys reflect:
Visible columns
Sorting
Filters
Table settings
Overview tab (if enabled)
Top Pages tab (if enabled)
You can:
White-label the domain
Add branding
Require a password
Embed the report
Hide Sharing option from report
2. Scheduled reports - Automated email reports
Scheduled Reports automatically send ranking data via email.
You can:
Select projects or groups
Choose frequency
Choose PDF or CSV
Customize what columns are visible
Customize the email message (HTML supported)
Apply branding
Best for:
Weekly client updates
Executive reporting
Hands-off reporting workflows
Agencies scaling across multiple clients
3. Manual exports - PDF, CSV, or Text
You can export ranking data manually at any time.
Available formats:
PDF
CSV
Text
Exports reflect:
Visible columns (Settings → Table)
Active filters
Selected report date
Current sorting
Best for:
One-off reporting
Internal analysis
Sharing raw data
Executive snapshots
4. Embedded reports - Host on your own website
You can embed a ViewKey directly into your website using iFrame code.
This creates a fully live dashboard inside:
Client portals
Agency websites
Internal dashboards
Best for:
White-label agency dashboards
SaaS integrations
Client login portals
Sample code:
<iframe src="https://app.seranktracker.com/projects/UlO9PSv/676767543333356e52a1575c3e5d0c91/client" style="position:fixed; top:0px; left:0px; bottom:0px; right:0px; width:100%; height:100%; border:none; margin:0; padding:0; overflow:hidden; z-index:999999;"> Your browser doesn't support iframes </iframe>
Embedding uses ViewKeys as the underlying reporting layer.
Live vs snapshot reporting
Understanding the difference is important.
Live reporting (ViewKeys / Embedded)
Always current
