Good things happened in twos this release — we made two feature improvements, starting tracking two new result types, and dusted two bugs out of existence.
Feature improvements
- Inactive projects and sites now bring up the rear
When you turned tracking off for a project or site, it would remain in the Projects pane in alphabetical order. But, in order to keep your tracked items easy to spot, the untracked ones will now automatically move to the bottom of their respective lists. - No accidental email unsubscribes
We’ve installed a safeguard in the form of a fancy confirmation page to make absolutely certain that it’s really you, and not link previewers (we’re looking at you, Outlook), who’s unsubscribing from site alert, scheduled report, or trial account emails.
Tracking updates
- Tracking “People also search for” has commenced
If you’ve spotted the “People also search for” carousel (not to be confused with the “People also ask” box) and wished you could track it, then this release note is for you. We’re now tracking the “People also search for” result type as part of related searches (also new). - Get the goods on the “Discover more places” result
Now that Google has brought its Explore option to desktop devices, which is called “Discover more places” on the SERP (for the time being at least), it’s our duty to track it. You’ll find it as an “explore” result in STAT.
Bug fixes
- Turning off a tag’s tracking won’t affect your other keywords
In this edition of “super-rare bugs,” we uncovered and took care of a sneaky one that, if the conditions were right, would sometimes accidentally turn off tracking for more keywords than you had intended. - No scrolling necessary after expanding the Ranking Trends graphs
Much to the delight of Andrea, our Director of Product, we fixed the rendering bug that made you scroll to see the full Keywords and Ranking Averages vs. Distribution graphs when you expanded them.
If you’ve got any Qs or concerns, let us know at ClientSuccess@getSTAT.com. Need more release notes in your life for reasons that can’t be explained? Get ‘em here.
