Navigating Google's Changes: Core Update from Wope (Update)
Important Update Regarding Wope Rank Tracker Module (Updated on May 2, 2025)
Dear Wope Users,
We want to provide you with an important update regarding our Rank Tracker module.
As you may be aware, in January 2025, Google implemented stricter anti-scraping measures, which affected many SEO tools relying on search engine results page (SERP) data. This industry-wide change led to disruptions in services like Semrush and SE Ranking.
Impact on Wope
In response to these changes, our team diligently worked to adapt our systems to comply with Google's new policies and ensure the continued accuracy and reliability of our Rank Tracker module. This process has been complex, and while we initially aimed to resolve the issues by mid-April, unforeseen challenges prevented us from meeting this target.
Restoration Timeline (Updated)
As of May 2, 2025, we've made the strategic decision to shift away from our previous solution and are now rebuilding our Rank Tracker module using an entirely new infrastructure. This approach ensures long-term stability and resilience.
We now anticipate that the Rank Tracker module will be fully operational by the end of May 2025. We sincerely apologize for this delay and appreciate your continued patience and understanding.
Out of our 4 main modules, only the Rank Tracker module remains affected. Our other modules—SEO Research, Keyword Research, and Competitor Research—remain fully functional and unaffected:
| Tool Name | Status During Issue | Current Status (May 2, 2025) | Expected Status (End of May 2025) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rank Tracker | Experienced issues, causing data disruptions | Infrastructure rebuilding in progress | Fully functional |
| Keyword Finder | Experienced issues, causing data disruptions | Resolved, no issues | Fully functional |
| Common Keywords | Experienced issues, causing data disruptions | Resolved, no issues | Fully functional |
| Backlink Research | Experienced issues, causing data disruptions | Resolved, no issues | Fully functional |
Looking Ahead
The recent challenges underscore the importance of building resilient systems that adapt to the evolving digital landscape. At Wope, we are committed to enhancing our infrastructure, ensuring the Rank Tracker module is robust against future disruptions. Unlike some other rank trackers, our proactive approach positions us to effectively manage similar challenges moving forward.
