Exporting SEO tables to CSV in SEO by Zaweba

Any table you're looking at in SEO by Zaweba can be saved as a CSV file. Choose File, then Export table as CSV, or press Ctrl+E, and the current table is written out: the checks, the comparison with competitors, the content gaps, or whichever one is on screen. CSV opens in any spreadsheet, so the data can go wherever you need it.

The HTML report is the tidy, printable summary of an audit. The CSV export is for when you want the raw rows to sort, filter, share or add to.

What you can export

The rule is simple: what you see is what you get. If the All checks tab is open, you export every check with its result. If the Comparison tab is open, you get the table of you, each competitor and the top-3 average over about 35 metrics. On the Content gaps tab, you get the list of terms and questions with how many of the top pages cover each one.

Because the export follows the table on screen, it's worth getting the view right first. Sort the All checks table the way you'd like before exporting, for example by severity, so the spreadsheet opens in a useful order.

Handing work to someone else

The most common use is passing fixes to the person who will make them. A web developer may not want an SEO tool; they want a list. Export All checks, filter it to the failures in the Technical category, and send that. A copywriter gets the content gaps instead, which is a ready-made list of subjects the pages above you cover and yours doesn't.

For a fuller hand-over to an AI assistant, SEO by Zaweba also has the AI Fix Brief, a markdown list of fixes for the page you can copy in one click. CSV suits people and spreadsheets; the brief suits Claude Code or another assistant.

Keeping your own records

SEO by Zaweba already keeps every scan in its History page, with score trends and a compare-two-scans view. Even so, you may want your own copy of a table, perhaps to combine audits of several projects in one workbook or to keep alongside a client's other records. Exporting after each scan gives you a simple archive.

If you look after several sites, exporting the Comparison table from each and pasting them side by side in a spreadsheet makes it easy to see which sites have the biggest gaps to the top three.

Slips that are easy to make

Exporting the wrong table is the easy one. Check which tab is open before you press Ctrl+E. Another is treating the CSV as the whole story. The checks carry plain reasons in the app, and the action plan's priorities come from severity, weight, confidence and effort together. A spreadsheet sorted by one column can make a minor problem look urgent, so read it alongside the Next steps tab.

Where the files go

You choose where to save each CSV. Reports, by contrast, are saved under the reports folder for the project, which you can open with File, then Open reports folder, and move elsewhere under Settings. Keeping your CSV exports in the same project folder as the reports keeps an audit's paperwork together.

It's a small feature, but it's the one that gets audit findings out of the app and into the hands of whoever is going to act on them.
