Are all the SEO Tools Broken?

[wonderpunter]

So with the latest google update removing the ability to scrape the first #100 results it seems that many of these tools are now worthless, of course major gas lighting is on course with many saying you only need the top 10 results anyhow lol. have you found any that are working? I have already cancled my Ahrefs..

Already seen one adapt by now returning results by page rather than numbers of results (ie make the setting 10 pages and you get - roughly - the 100 returned). Implies it might not be long till ahrefs etc find their own ways round.

Can you give the name? I noticed SEranking kinda working btu not like before and still don't trust the numbers it's showing

It's not a ranking tracking tool. More of a scraper. Just figured that if this (lesser known/obscure-ish) one found a way round, others with deeper pockets will follow

I saw the first post mentioned canceling Ahrefs, but I've actually been hearing some positive chatter that Ahrefs is already starting to implement a workaround for this. It sounds like they might be adapting, similar to what chaumi mentioned about other (even lesser-known) tools finding new methods.

How is everyone else coping with this data gap in the meantime? Have you found any effective workarounds or alternative strategies to track rankings beyond the first page, or are you just focusing on the top 10 for now?

No, not all SEO tools are broken, but many third-party rank tracking and data-collection tools are experiencing significant issues due to Google's recent changes.
