"I should document that process."
Then... didn't.
Why? It's not urgent.
Business doesn't stop if you skip it.
Nothing breaks today.
So it gets pushed to "when I have time."
But every time you DON'T document...
You're committing to doing it manually forever.
Or explaining it verbally every time.
Or fixing mistakes from unclear instructions.
Real cost of not documenting:
→ 30 mins explaining to 10 people = 5 hours wasted
→ 1 hour fixing monthly mistakes = repeated forever
→ 2 hours redoing "we did it differently last time"
Documentation isn't perfectionism.
It's not wasting future time.
The formula:
Done it twice? → Document it
Documented? → Test if others can follow
They can follow? → Now it's a system
One process this week. 30 minutes to document. Infinite time saved.
What have you explained 10+ times that should be documented?

Founders will do anything except diagnose what's broken.
Diagnose first. Fix root causes. Then scale.

Why a "Standard Audit" is a waste of your money.
The Difference: Most audits are automated exports from Semrush.
My Forensic Audit manually tracks crawl budget leaks and JavaScript rendering issues that tools miss.
The Result: One client saw a 40% indexation boost in 14 days after fixing one "orphan page" loop.
