Notice on Google’s Recent SERP Collection Change

Google has recently removed the &num=100 parameter, which previously allowed tools to fetch up to 100 search results in a single request. Now, results are limited to smaller sets (10 at a time). This change has impacted rank tracking across the entire industry — all tools are affected.

What we’re doing

• Limits adjustment in progress: We are updating our systems to ensure reliable Top 10 and Top 20 rankings for all tracked keywords.

• Managing higher costs: Since 100 results now require 10× more requests, the cost of collecting this data has increased significantly and is unsustainable in the current form. We’re working on the best possible long-term solution.

• Continuous monitoring: Our team is validating SERP data closely to minimize discrepancies during this transition.

What you might see

• Slower refreshes or occasional differences in rankings.

• Temporary gaps in deeper result sets (beyond Top 20) while adjustments are rolled out.

What you should do

• Please don’t panic if you notice discrepancies — they are caused by this Google update, not your SEO performance.

• Focus on weekly and monthly trends while we complete adjustments.

We’re actively working on a sustainable solution and will keep sharing updates in the coming days.

Note: All other tools are working fine with no issues. Only Google Rank Tracker has been affected by this update. Services/Tools listed below have no impact:

- Map Tracker Tool
- Keyword Research Tool

- AI Overview Tracker Tool
- LLM Tracker Tool

- Backlink Analysis Tool
