Here's a nightmare scenario.
Your SEO lead quits. Or gets sick. Or goes on vacation.
And nobody else knows:
All the knowledge walks out the door. And you start from scratch.
Why documentation matters
Continuity. People leave. Documentation stays.
Efficiency. New team members get up to speed in hours, not weeks.
Accountability. If it's documented, it happened. If it's not, who knows?
Consistency. When processes are documented, everyone follows the same playbook.
What to document
The SEO strategy document
Standard operating procedures (SOPs)
The decision log
The "why" is more important than the "what."
