What is an SEO brief?

An SEO brief is a document containing important questions from a marketer to a business owner, which helps to better understand the needs of the customer and their requirements for SEO promotion. Correctly filling out an SEO brief allows you to quickly determine what tasks the project faces, how the client sees his business and what his expectations are from cooperation. The brief is the basis for creating a commercial proposal and developing a promotion strategy.

The main goal of the SEO brief is to identify the directions in which product promotion is planned, as well as to understand the composition of the team that will work on the project. The document usually contains a brief description of the product, the main competitors according to the client, as well as a list of queries and pages that need to be brought to the top positions in search engines. An important element is the question about the target audience (TA), since here both general answers can be given, such as “people”, “women”, “men”, and detailed descriptions, including age, interests, income and other characteristics.

It is important that the brief clearly states what exactly the customer expects from SEO services and SEO marketing, preferably in measurable terms, and not in general phrases like “I want to make a lot of money.” It is also worth finding out what aspects of the current state of the business the customer wants to change and what does not suit him. Understanding the company’s positioning and its competitive advantages will help build a promotion strategy. It is also important to find out which companies the customer considers his ideal competitors and how much he is willing to invest in promotion.

Often, after drawing up the brief, it becomes clear how adequately the client understands the SEO promotion process, and it may be necessary to reconsider further cooperation. Therefore, drawing up a detailed and comprehensive brief is a key step in successfully working on a project, which helps to avoid misunderstandings and save time.
