Why Your SEO Data Looks Different in September 2025
If you’ve opened up Google Search Console lately and thought, “Why do my numbers look so strange?” you’re not imagining things. In mid-September, Google quietly disabled the num=100 parameter, a little shortcut that SEO tools have relied on for years to pull the top 100 search results in one go. Without it, tools now have to make multiple smaller requests, and that shift has caused a ripple effect in reporting across the board.

Thinking about adding a blog to your website? Here are some tips to get on the first page of Google:
- Remember, quality over quantity for all aspects of SEO (and this includes blogs). Forget about churning out 3 blogs a month just to tick a box. It's better to publish one blog every 2 months that utilises your keywords appropriately and provides value to your audience, rather than delivering articles that are sub par.
- Be wary of keyword stuffing. Utilising your chosen SEO keywords is important, but adding them in where they don't belong, Australian SEO experts, doesn't make sense, does it? Alongside this being bad practice, it also dampens the user experience (and user experience matters big time when it comes to search engine optimisation).
- Whether you use AISEO or Yoast (or another SEO plugin altogether), these tools help you craft great meta descriptions, titles, and remind you to add links, alt tags and more. All of these components help your on-page SEO, so utilise them to their full potential!
- Remember: Blogging is one of 3 SEO components = 'on page SEO'. If you want to skyrocket your SEO success, you need to work on your off-page and technical SEO areas too. This means local SEO focus areas such as Google Business as well as technical website improvements to ensure your website is performing well behind-the-scenes!
