Exporting to CSV and Sheets
Rubric exports four CSV files from a report: action-plan.csv, pages.csv, broken-links.csv and sitemap-issues.csv, using the download buttons in the report. Each is a plain CSV you can open in Google Sheets or Excel, so you can sort page scores, filter failing checks and build your own tracker on top of Rubric's data.

What CSVs can I export from Rubric?
Rubric exports four CSV files, one for each part of the report you are most likely to work with outside the app. You download them from the export buttons in the report. Between them they cover the ranked fixes, every page with its score, the broken links found during the crawl and any problems with your XML sitemap.
| File | What it contains |
|---|---|
| action-plan.csv | The ranked, phased fixes from the Action Plan (Phase 01, 02 and 03) |
| pages.csv | Every crawled page with its citability score |
| broken-links.csv | Broken outbound links found during the crawl |
| sitemap-issues.csv | Problems found with your XML sitemap |

Building your own tracker
The exports are built to be worked in a spreadsheet, which is where you turn a one-off audit into something you track over time.
- Sort pages.csv by score, lowest first. This is your weakest-pages list, worst at the top.
- Filter to pages below 70. These are the pages an engine tends to answer around rather than name. They are where the score is won.
- Watch the middle, not just the bottom. Your site score is the median of the page scores, so lifting the pages in the middle of the pack moves the site number more than polishing pages already above 70.
- Feed action-plan.csv to your developers. The phased fixes make a ready-made checklist for a build sprint.
When to use a CSV over the other options
Export to CSV when you want the data in your own spreadsheet: to hand fixes to a developer, to build a tracker, or to combine it with other data such as measured citations. If you would rather your own AI assistant read your live results, connect the MCP instead.
