Prompt: turn SEO data into a decision memo

Use the template to summarize provided evidence; require the model to flag gaps instead of inventing causes.

Use the procedure on a representative sample, keep the evidence, and record the next action.

Copy, fill, and verify the prompt

  • Paste the reporting period, property, search type, country/device filters, and comparison period. Remove personal or confidential data.
  • Prompt: “Use only the figures and notes below. Separate observations from hypotheses. Do not invent causes, metrics, dates, or business results.”
  • Request output: decision; evidence table; affected segment/pages; plausible hypotheses with confidence; missing checks; one next action, owner, and date.
  • Verify every number against its source and reject unsupported causal claims. A human owner approves the decision.
