Websites are critical to succeed in today's online marketplace, providing consumers a virtual doorway into your client's business. Similar to how you'd want physical customers to have a great experience in-store, their online visit should be just as enjoyable.  This is where the Snapshot Report's website section can help as it breaks down the key components required for a great online experience. Page experience is important for multiple reasons: Creating an enjoyable website experience helps to build stronger brand recognition with consumers.  If the business owner runs an ecommerce enabled website, a smooth page experience can lead to an increase in online sales.  These page experience metrics are important factors when it comes to Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategies.  That last point is vital for business owners. Without a good website experience, they may not rank high within search engines, impacting their chances of being found by prospective customers.  The Snapshot Report breaks down website performance using Google's Core Web Vitals, the set of key indicators they use as ranking criteria.  What are Page Experience and the Core Web Vitals? Page experience measures aspects of how customers experience and interact with a website. By optimizing for these factors, business owners can create delightful experiences across all web browsers and devices. This can lead to more engaged consumers, increases in sales, and a strong brand affinity.  Core Web Vitals are a set of real-world, user-centered metrics that can help to quantify key factors of a user's experience. They focus on 3 areas: speed, responsiveness, and visual stability. Google combines these factors in determining search ranking as they help provide a holistic picture of page experience.  Snapshot Report Homepage Content Within the Snapshot Report, we first give a look at the homepage content for your clients website. This will show if key business information is found on your client's website. Having easy access to this information creates a smooth page experience for visitors and is essential when it comes to search engine ranking.  Snapshot Report Website Performance Overall Grades - The Snapshot Report breaks down performance for both Mobile and Desktop. Both grades can be seen at the top of the section, along with an image of how they appear on both devices. NOTE: If needed, salespeople have the ability to turn off either the desktop or mobile version within the Snapshot Report. Visit our support article to learn more about customizing the Snapshot Report.  Page Speed - To the right of the device image you'll find page speed. This measures how quickly the content of your client's website is visually displayed during page load.  Large Content - This metric measures how long it takes for the largest element within view to load for site visitors.  Interactivity - This measures how long it takes the client's website to respond after a user engages with an on-site element.  Visual Stability - This will measure any unexpected shirts in your website layout. This can be caused by site elements loading out of sync.  NOTE: If the Snapshot Report has been customized to only show desktop or mobile, then that will be reflected in these metrics by only showing how that particular device measures up.  Below the Core Web Vital scores, you'll find a more detailed report on what should be fixed on your client's website for both desktop and mobile devices.  If your client has the ability to make changes on their own, you can provide this detailed look at what needs to be fixed as an additional value for the Snapshot Report. Or if you offer website services, this can be an effective talking point about how much you can help them improve their website experience. 

The Snapshot Report and the Executive Report are two of the most powerful tools at your disposal. Used together, they can not only help you sign more clients but retain them. What is the difference between the Snapshot Report and the Executive Report? The short answer is that they are used at different points in your relationship: The Snapshot Report is used before you've formed a business relationship to pitch your services and products to prospects. The Executive Report is used after you have a business relationship to give them insights into the state of their online presence. Snapshot Report The Snapshot Report is a marketing needs assessment that uncovers a prospect’s performance in six categories: business listings, reviews, social media, website, advertising, SEO, and eCommerce. Use the Snapshot Report to start conversations with your prospects, highlight gaps in their marketing, and propose optimal solutions.

Snapshot Reports are intended to be used as a prospecting tool and as such are typically expected to only be generated once during the prospecting phase. Creating a Snapshot Report and refreshing a Snapshot Report are two separate products and both charge a standard fee of $2, however, some subscription tiers have a number of 'free' Snapshot Reports allocated which can only be used towards creating a new Snapshot Report for prospecting purposes. Although a Partner can refresh a Snapshot Report, this will incur the $2 charge as this is treated as a separate product from creating a Snapshot Report.

The Snapshot Report has always provided valuable data to businesses, allowing salespeople an intelligent jumping-off point for conversations with prospects. At times, prospects wanted more data and to see how they directly compared to their competitors. While the Snapshot Report provided insights into the industry averages, it didn't provide data directly related to their competition. The ability to add competitor data to your Snapshot Reports allows for better insights for prospects, further helping salespeople sell. How to add competitor stats to existing Snapshot Reports Accessing the Snapshot Report To start, open the Snapshot Report you wish to edit in Sales & Success Center or Partner Center. Note: If you have not previously generated a Snapshot Report for the account, you will instead see the Generate Snapshot button , allowing you to generate a Snapshot Report instead. Choose your competitor type When accessing the Snapshot Report, you'll have the option to choose between the following competitor types: Competitors' websites - Adds competitor data to only the Website, Ecommerce, SEO, and Advertising sections. Competitors' existing Snapshot Reports - Adds competitor data to all sections by using existing Snapshot Reports from other accounts. Industry Average only - Shows your prospect how they compare to their industry average. This reporting is also included in the other two competitor types. 1) Using competitors' websites This option uses the business's company name and website to pull data.  Enter up to three competitors, search results will appear as you do so. When you've found the competitor you wish to add, click on it to have the website field automatically populated.  Hit 'Save' after each competitor.  Please be aware that it may take a few moments for the Snapshot Report to update after entering new competitors.  Note: This will only add competitor data to the Website, Ecommerce, SEO, and Advertising sections. To apply this data to all sections, you'll need to follow the steps below.  2) Using competitors' existing Snapshot Reports You can configure competitor data to appear in all sections by using Snapshot Reports you've already created.  If you haven't already done so, create accounts for these competitors either in Sales & Success Center or Partner Center. You'll also need to create a Snapshot Report for each of these. Please be aware that standard Snapshot fees apply.  From there, go back into your prospect's Snapshot Report and choose the 'Use competitors' Snapshot Reports' option under Competitors. Click on the Competitor field and select the account you wish to use for comparisons.  How to add competitor stats to a new Snapshot Report Note: This must be done before you create the prospect's account. If the account has already been created, you'll need to generate a Snapshot Report and follow the steps above.  1) To start, begin by creating a new account in either Partner Center or Sales & Success Center. Creating accounts in Partner Center Creating accounts in the Sales & Success Center 2) In the Specific tab, when entering the name and location of your prospects' business, you'll see an automatically-generated list of competitors. This list is based on their location and business category as indicated on their Google Business Profile.  Select up to 3 local competitors, and hit continue next to the prospects' business information. Once the account is created, generate a Snapshot Report for that business and those competitors will be automatically added. Note: This will only apply competitor data to the Website, Ecommerce, SEO, and Advertising sections. To populate that data in all sections, you'll need to use 'Compare with existing Snapshot Reports' detailed above.What competitor data appears in the Snapshot Report? When you add competitors, you'll see the following sections under Listings and Reviews. For Advertising and SEO, the section will largely appear the same, though you'll see your competitors added:

Customizing an Individual Snapshot Report Customizing the Snapshot Report can ensure that it fits perfectly with the sales story you're telling your prospects.

A strong Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategy is vital for any business looking to compete online. The main objective of SEO is to increase a website's traffic and ultimately its conversion rate. This is accomplished by ranking high in the search results for keywords related to the business. The SEO strategy's mission is to optimize the website's content so that search engines find the business more relevant and authoritative than their competitors.  This is why it's vital that your clients understand how they appear in local search results and how a majority of their online information affects their search ranking. Snapshot Report can be a great tool in helping them visualize this as it shows exactly how the business ranks within Google Search.  SEO Section Breakdown The SEO section requires a minimum 60% match to the Google listing for Name, Address, Phone Number, and/or Website to populate this section correctly. If this threshold is not met through matched data, the system sees no match found. Weighting: Name: 20% Address: 20% Phone Number: 40% Website: 20% Local Search Results This section displays exactly how your prospect's business appears within Google's search results. This helps them to visualize how they appear for any new customers with no prior search history. This section is broken up into two separate parts.  Google Map: This displays their rank within an 800-meter radius around the business's location. Each hotspot is clickable and shows how they rank within that hotspot compared to local competitors for the selected keyword.  Search Results: This showcases the top three search results for the selected hotspot, and where the prospect appears. If they don't appear within the top three results, they'll appear just below their search ranking. They'll also be able to see whether their Google Business profile is claimed or not, which can affect how they rank within these results.  NOTE: The keyword that is chosen is pulled from their Google Business Profile account if it's claimed, and if it's not claimed then it uses the prospects business category. This keyword can also be changed in the Snapshot Reports customization settings found when editing the report in the Sales & Success Center. Learn more about your customization options.  Organic Keyword Performance Organic Keyword Performance measures your prospects against their competition when it comes to the number of keywords they rank for, organically. The higher the value per click, the more optimized your prospects' keywords are.  Keywords: This number shows how many organic keywords your prospect shows up for within the top 50 results of Google. So while they may show up for more than this number of keywords, if they appear within the 50+ results, those keywords won't be counted.  Clicks: This measures how many times those keywords have led to a user clicking on and visiting your prospect's website from Google Search.  Value: This shows how much your prospect would have to spend monthly on paid ads for those same keywords to receive the same amount of clicks they're getting organically. Please note: this value will be displayed in USD ($).  NOTE: This is calculated by assigning each organic keyword a value determined by where the prospect's business domain ranks on it. So the higher a business ranks for a keyword, the more valuable that keyword is to them. We then calculate the average across all their organic keywords. Value per click: Value per click = Value / Clicks. This is the value of each organic click your prospect receives.  Organic Keyword Ranking Organic Keyword Ranking displays up to 5 of the top keywords your prospect currently ranks for. This gives the prospect a good idea of how Google views its website based on its content.  Keywords: These are the keywords and phrases that customers would be searching for to find your prospects' business on Google. These are determined by reviewing the content on their website.  NOTE: It's important to note that this data is based on the content of your prospect's website. If these keywords don't match up with their business or industry, then that means that work is required to optimize their website content so that they rank for keywords more related to their area of expertise.  Competitiveness: This measures how difficult it is to appear in the top Google search results for that specific keyword. The more competing businesses that are targeting that specific keyword in their SEO strategies, the longer the dark blue bar will be.  Rank: This displays the position your prospect ranks within Google's search results. The closer to 1 they are, the better they're doing in optimizing for that specific keyword.  Local Searches (US Only): For the given search term, this is the amount of estimated organic traffic the keyword receives on average per month within the prospect's local area.  Clicks (Outside of the US): For the given search term, this is the estimated number of clicks the keyword receives on average per month.  Global Searches: This is the estimated number of searches per month across Google for that keyword.

The Snapshot Report is a powerful tool that allows you to get to the heart of your client's online presence and reputation. To better speak to the report itself, it is useful to understand how our carefully tuned algorithm determines its grades. Overall Score The overall score is calculated by averaging the primary grades you've received in each section within the Snapshot Report. These grades are converted into numerical values: A = 4 B = 3 C = 2 D = 1 F = 0 The converted values are then summed and then divided by a perfect score (24). When a section is disabled, the overall score will adjust accordingly. Example In the above Snapshot Report, the score would be broken down as follows: Section  Grade Score Ecommerce D 1 Advertising F 0 Listings B 3 Social D 1 Reviews C 2 SEO D 1 Website D 1 Total N/A 9 Once we have the total score, 9 in the above case, we then divide it by the perfect score of 28 (4 x # of section grades, giving us the overall score for the Snapshot Report. 9/28 = 0.321 This is then rounded to the nearest whole number. In the example provided, this would be the 32% shown in the screenshot. Sections For each section in the Snapshot Report, we use the following percentile grading system: A = 90 - 100th percentile B = 75 - 89th percentile C = 50 - 74th percentile D = 30 - 49th percentile F = 0 - 29th percentile Listings The Listings grade is a reflection of your business’s online listings. Each listing source is assigned a score based on how popular the site is. For example, having an accurate listing on a popular site like Google will have a greater influence on your Listing Score. The Listings grade is determined by the percentile range your business falls into when compared to other businesses in the same industry. Example: This business was in the top 25% compared to other businesses in the same industry, so therefore it was graded at a B.  Reviews We first calculate the scores for each subsection contained under the Reviews heading. We then take those combined scores and divide them into the maximum possible score. Example: The above business's grades are broken down as follows: Reviews Found | Top 50% = C Reviews Found Per Month | Top 50% = C Average Review Score | Top 50% = C # of Review Sources | Top 50% = C If we convert these to point values, we have 2, 2, 2, and 2. Adding these together gives a total point value of 8. Since there are 4 sub-grades, we would divide this by 4 which gives us a score of 2, resulting in an overall grade of C. Social We first calculate the grades for each subsection under the Social heading. From there, we convert those scores to numerical values, then divide them by the total number of grades available. Example: The above account has Facebook, X, and Instagram enabled on their Snapshot Report. Their subsections (Likes, Average Posts / Month, etc.) are calculated using the same method as other sections. Facebook has ratings of C, C, C, and F. Converting these to numerical gives us 2, 2, 2, and 0 = 6/4 = 1.5 = D X was not found, equalling a grade of F. Instagram has two B ratings, giving us 3, and 3 = 6/2 = 3 = B.  If we take the letter grade for each social site, we get Facebook = D (1), X = F (0), Instagram = B (3)  Total = 4/# of grades 4/3 = 1.3 = D grade overall  Website We use Google's PageSpeed Insights to analyze websites for the Snapshot Report. The Website section is comprised of three separate subsections. The grades from each of these are added together, then divided by the total number of grades available. We will break down these sections below. Example: In the above report, the website has received the following grades: Mobile - F Desktop - F Homepage Content - B These convert to scores of 0, 0, and 3 respectively. Adding these together, we get a total of 3. If we divide this by 3 (the number of sections available), we receive a value of 1, which gives us a total grade of D. Note: PageSpeed scores can vary as they are estimates of the website's performance and not exact numbers. Many factors can influence the performance such as internet traffic, the types of ads being served, the type of device being used, and antivirus software.  Mobile Google's PageSpeed Insights scores both your speed and UX scores. We combine these scores, then compare the business to its industry percentiles to retrieve the Mobile grade. Desktop For the Desktop score, we take your Google PageSpeed Insights score (out of 100) and compare it to the industry percentiles. Homepage Content Each line within the Homepage Content subsection is given point values based on if the element is or is not detected. We add these scores together, then compare these to the industry percentiles. Ecommerce This section breaks down 4 important categories that are relevant when it comes to eCommerce: Online storefront - This checks to see if your prospect has the ability to sell their products/services through their website using a recognized commerce platform. Online payments - This checks to see if your prospect is able to accept transactions through their site using recognized payment software.  Lead engagement - This scan's the prospects' website to see if it is set up to properly engage customers with relevant content, encouraging them to either move down the sales funnel or purchase from them again.  Online scheduler - This crawls the prospect's website to see if they have included any scheduling software that makes it easy for customers to book an appointment with the business.  This grade is weighted to match the insights of sales professionals, giving you a score that helps you focus on the areas that matter most. These areas are weighted as follows: Online storefront = highOnline payments = mediumLead engagement = low Advertising & SEO The SEO and Advertising sections are backed by a deep catalog of keywords. Every month, we run millions of searches for these keywords, then take the top 50 organic results and the top 2 pages of ads and save those to our database. From there, we use those results to calculate the following: Advertising: Estimated cost per click = Estimated monthly ad budget / Estimated monthly paid clicks SEO: Estimated value per click = Estimated monthly value of clicks / Estimated monthly clicks It is important to stress that these are estimates and may not always accurately reflect the actual value of those clicks. For more information on the Advertising section, check out this article. Local SEO  The local SEO subsection score is based on where the business appears in the search results for each of the vicinities (9 each for near me and city).  1st = A 2nd or 3rd = B 4th - 20th = C 21st - 100th = D  Outside top 100 = F  The grade is then combined with the value per click grade to get the overall section grade.  Note: We are unable to perform localized searches. We search from a centralized location, so if the business you are targeting has ads set up for only their local area, you may not see results. For more information on the SEO section, check out this article.

Business listings are essential to succeed in today's online marketplace with 73% of people losing trust in a brand when their listings are incorrect. This causes customers to blame the business when their information is wrong, damaging their reputation. That's why it's important for businesses to understand how they currently rate when it comes to their business listings, and Snapshot Report is great at surfacing these insights.  How is the listings grade calculated? The Listings grade is a reflection of your business’s online listings. Each listing source is assigned a score based on how popular the site is. For example, having an accurate listing on a popular site like Google will have a greater influence on your Listing Score. The Listings grade is determined by the percentile range your business falls into when compared to other businesses in the same industry. Example: The business above is classified as a restaurant, thus the report is comparing it to similarly classified businesses. As the formula prior to August 1st  for scoring the Listings section considers anything within the top 20% of businesses to be an A, this section is graded as an A.  NOTE: If the grade isn't populating, it could be due to your geographic region settings. If you're located in a country where we may not have enough industry data to compare on a country, state, or city level, the grade won't show. To fix this you'll need to enable performance metrics on a world level. To check this, go to Administration > Customize > General Product Settings > Geographic Region for Performance Metrics, enable World, and click Save. Listing Section Breakdown Listing Presence This is where we calculate how many available listing sites there are for that particular business category, and how many of those sites display your client's business information. We also highlight the four primary listing sites for any business: Google, Facebook, and X.  When creating or refreshing a snapshot report, Reputation Management Trial will only pull a customer's LinkedIn page if it is connected to the account in the platform. Therefore during snapshot generation, mostly LinkedIn will appear to be "not found" in the listing section since accounts are not connected in most cases while prospecting. Listing Accuracy Here is where we calculate the accuracy of those found listings from the previous section. This is based on the business details entered when creating the account. We also compare their accuracy against their industry average to show them how well they're doing against the competition. Finally, we provide a summary of how many times their information was found to be incorrect, broken out by: Incorrect phone number, missing phone number, and missing website link.  Listing Details This section allows you to give your clients a detailed breakdown of each listing site they could be found on along with what information is accurate, missing, or incorrect. They also have the option of clicking View Listing to see the actual listing itself. This can be a great way to help your clients visualize just how much work is involved in keeping their business information updated.  Data Provider Accuracy There are three major data providers that distribute your clients' information to hundreds of online sources: Data Axle, Neustar/Localeze, and Foursquare. The sources that gather information from these data providers include review sites, directories, social sites, search engines, GPS services, and more. It's crucial that your clients are found on these data providers and that their business details are accurate, or else they may send incorrect information to thousands of potential customers.  

The cover page of the Snapshot Report is set by the Salesperson. You can edit this setting in the Salesperson's profile by following these steps:  Log in to Partner Center. Navigate to the CRM tab > click on Salespeople. Click on the Salesperson's name. Scroll down to 'Cover Page Title'. Cover page options are as follows: a) Partner name. b) Reputation Management product name. c) Market name. If a Salesperson has a "Job Title" listed in their settings, then it will override these options and display the Job Title instead. ​  

You can rename the Snapshot Report from Partner Center by navigating to: Administration > Customize > Sales > Click on 'Edit Snapshot Report Name.' This can be done in both the Partner Branding and Markets tabs. ​​ Video Walkthrough
