Google recently adjusted the appearance of organic results for certain finance-related keywords. As a result, there were instances where we were unable to accurately identify organic results in all cases. This issue was limited to searches conducted on smartphones and only affected search terms that included specific financial integrations. We are currently working on improving the identification of these organic results and on importing the correct data into SISTRIX.

In order to keep in track with dynamic nature of the Google search results in the future, we have made improvements to the calculation of the project Visibility Index. For most projects, this only results in minor shifts, but for some there may be major changes.
To ensure historical comparability, we have also recalculated the historical project visibility values for some projects based on the improved calculation.

For several weeks now, Google has been making efforts to no longer provide 100 organic hits for all keywords and devices. We expect this development to continue in the future and that only 10 to 20 organic hits will be offered by default for most search queries. This development has an impact on the number of measured Top100 rankings in SISTRIX. It has no impact on the visibility index, the determined SEO traffic or the value of SEO traffic.
Daily visibility data delivery for today (2022-05-28) is delayed for all countries and devices. However, the live visibility index is up to date and available for all countries and devices.

During August 31, 2022, spam filters for our messaging system were adjusted. The new settings rejected more messages as spam than expected. As a result, not all messages were successfully delivered to us during the period until mid-afternoon, September 5th, 2022.
Google has made changes to the appearance of organic results for some keywords. These changes meant that we did not recognise organic results correctly in all cases. Only smartphone search results were affected. Likewise, only search terms that contained a certain type of Local integration were affected. We have since corrected the identification of these organic hits and are importing correct data into SISTRIX.
Until now, the SERP integration “People Also Ask” (PAA) has pushed an organic result off the first page of Google search results. While normally ten organic results are displayed on the first page, there were only nine results when the box “People Also Ask” was visible. Google has now modified this approach and displays ten organic results and, additionally, the PAA SERP feature. As a result, the visibility index of many domains increases, as the organic visibility of this box is now distributed.
Recently, Google has adjusted the appearance of multiple results from the same domain in the mobile SERPs. Whereas these merged hits were previously limited to two results and only took up one of the ten available organic slots on the first page, more organic hits are now also displayed in a results card. Unlike before, however, each of these hits takes the place of an organic slot. We have adjusted the treatment of the results in SISTRIX accordingly. As a result, a few domains with strong brands and a correspondingly large number of organic hits for high-traffic keywords gain noticeably in visibility.
Network problems at one of our providers are currently leading to increased loading times for SISTRIX. The provider is already working on a solution to the problem, and we are keeping an eye on the situation.
During construction work, the backbone connection between two data centres was damaged. The transmission speed between these data centres is therefore currently severely impaired. As a result, the provision of some daily SEO data is delayed.
