You can't defend the SEO budget
Every quarter your CFO asks 'what did SEO produce this month'. Your current agency sends a 40-page report that nobody reads. You can't summarize it in 3 bullet points. The line item stays under threat.

The SEO line on your dashboard
should not be 'evaluating'.
You're running a marketing team at a mid-market company. Every channel on your dashboard has clear KPIs except SEO, which always reads 'ongoing' or 'under review'. That's because most SEO programs can't produce board-ready metrics. Patnick's 8-dimension scoring system changes that — every dimension is a quantifiable KPI you can report on monthly, backed by Google patent citations your CEO can verify.
Patnick for Marketing Leads is an SEO implementation + reporting layer built for marketing leadership at mid-market companies. The 8-dimension audit produces board-ready KPIs, the dashboard exports monthly PDF reports, and every finding has a patent citation that makes the recommendation defensible in executive conversations. The work is done for you; the reporting fits your quarterly rhythm.
This is why you're here.
No comparable KPIs across channels
Paid has CAC, email has open rate, content has engagement, social has followers — SEO has... 'rankings improved for 340 keywords'? Impossible to compare in a board deck without making up a metric.
Agency reports are all output, no outcome
47 hours logged, 12 pages audited, 8 tickets filed, 3 calls attended. Zero answers to 'did revenue from organic go up'. You can't take this to your CEO.

Frequently asked questions.
- What size company is this best for?
- Series B to pre-IPO SaaS, or established mid-market service companies doing $5M-$100M revenue. Smaller than that, the founder usually runs marketing directly and the /solutions/founder path fits better. Larger than that, you need enterprise-level custom contracts which Patnick isn't built for yet.
- Does this integrate with Looker / Tableau / our BI stack?
- CSV export is available on all plans, and Growth+ plans include a raw data API. Direct Looker/Tableau integration is planned for Q3 2026. For now, monthly CSV dump → your BI team ingests → dashboards update. This is how most of my Marketing Lead clients work today.
- How do I introduce this to my team?
- I recommend framing it as an implementation layer, not a replacement for your existing SEO agency or in-house team. Your SEO Manager keeps owning strategy and stakeholder relationships; Patnick handles the technical implementation work that's always been a bottleneck.
- What if my agency is doing this already?
- Most agencies charge $5k-$10k/mo for what Patnick does at $499-$799. They don't usually want me there because it makes their value prop harder to defend. If your agency is content-only, we complement. If your agency is 'full service', you probably don't need them anymore once Patnick is running.
- How do I handle the reporting rhythm?
- Monthly auto-generated PDF is the default. Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) where I join the call are available on the $799 Full Management tier. If your board meets quarterly, Q-level reporting is usually what you need; if monthly, the monthly PDFs cover it.
- What's my 90-day outcome story?
- Realistic: 20-40 findings shipped, 8-dimension scores up 10-25 points average, first AI visibility baseline documented, first monthly stakeholder PDF delivered, 2-3 competitive gap opportunities identified. I can't promise ranking jumps in 90 days — anyone who does is lying. I can promise the foundational work lands on time.
