Release notes for March 29, 2017

This release we’re celebrating the end of data update confusion, and an awesome improvement that’s paving the way for exciting things to come.

  • Track all your recipe results
    Since recipe cards and carousels have been taking over mobile SERPs, we’ve added them to our tracking repertoire. You can track them in STAT as recipes or amp (recipes).
  • Also track Google home services ads
    You can now track how prevalent Google’s home services ads are in your keyword universe. This’ll help you suss out whether they’re worth the spend.
  • New ranking data updates all at once
    We’re saying goodbye and good riddance to the Witching Hour. Instead of seeing a weird mix of old data, new data, and N/As before it’s all fresh, you’ll see current metrics until everything’s synced and ready to update in one fell swoop. Woop!
  • Know which day your data’s from
    In keeping with the above, we’ve added a date marker to the top of the keywords table so that you always know which day’s data you’re working with — no more wondering.
  • Improved keywords table
    And speaking of the keywords table, our resident Code Viking, Tylor, made some performance updates so you’ll experience speedier load times and faster dynamic tag creation. All of which will lay the groundwork for an exciting new feature. Stay tuned.
  • See tags in the Keyword report: Google SERP top 20 comparison
    Thanks to Victoria’s quick work, you’ll now be able to see a tags column in the Keyword report: Google SERP top 20 comparison if you so desire.
  • The Keyword report: Synced sites comparison will automatically update
    Victoria also fixed a tricksy bug where if you un-synced a site and deleted any keywords from it, the site would still wind up on your scheduled Keyword report: Synced sites comparison, and the report would fail. Now when you un-sync a site, your report will shape up and ship out accordingly.

As always, we’re here if you need help. Reach out to us at ClientSuccess@getSTAT.com and we’ll have you back in the pink in no time. If you’re into history, head over to the release notes archive and see how far we’ve come.

Cheers,
The STAT team
