Now, on the 1st of each month, Agent A builds a blog performance report and pulls the numbers together from Ahrefs Web Analytics and Ahrefs\u2019 GSC Insights report so they stay consistent.<\/p>\n<p>Crucially, it isn\u2019t traffic-only. The report covers the full SEO picture: clicks and impressions, keyword rankings and position changes, referring domains and backlinks gained or lost, plus KPI tiles, month-over-month trends, and top movers. That\u2019s what makes it an SEO report rather than a traffic report.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/automate-seo-agent-a-image3.jpg\" alt=\"Ahrefs Web Analytics dashboard featuring trend graphs for pageviews and visitors beside summary KPI tiles.\"><\/p>\n<p>In the future, I can foresee Ryan piping this directly into our #blog Slack channel via the Slack integration.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/automate-seo-agent-a-image11.png\" alt=\"A list of available software connectors with a yellow box highlighting the Slack integration option.\"><\/p>\n<p>You can do exactly the same as Ryan by installing the <strong>Monthly Website Performance Report <\/strong>app, available in Agent A.
