SEO Change Log

Every change made, on every page, with the date. Reviewed monthly against Search Console data — cross-reference what changed with what moved. Without this log, you can't know what worked.

Started in: Phase 07 Updated: every time anything changes on any page Reviewed: monthly alongside Search Console
How to use this log

Add a row every time you make an SEO-relevant change to any page — even small ones. Record the date, page, what changed, and your expected outcome. Then come back 4–6 weeks later and record the Search Console result: did impressions, clicks, or average position change? This is the only way to know which optimisations actually move the needle and which don't.

Add a new row for every change. Result types: use green for improvements, amber for no change, red for drops, and "Pending" until the review date arrives.
