Last week I finished Agency life and this week is my first week in-house for the first time. It's very different HR and Corporate wise but outside of that, i'm liking it so far. SEO is still SEO so not much has changed with the actual doing.

Did the same several years ago. Now I just make the most of the very soft focus 90s spec video call functionality. I always look great!

@sistrix.com will the "&num=100" SERP change impact your tracking?

I found out during a tech audit, one of the company execs had been stealing my work as his own and I went down a deep rabbit hole to catch him and ended up inside the site itself, fighting an AI version of the exec.

They need to get the 650 engine they do into it soon. I test rode the original 400 and it just wasn't quite enough. (I haven't tried the newer 450 version though)

@sistrix.com everything ok over there? Looks like results have been stuck for several days?

Sent you a DM!

That was my initial thought but a different site folder is absolutely fine based on the same setup. I still can't get it out of my head that the most obvious answer is the answer though...

Not on the page as I can see it, they do have messaging like that that will appear if it needs to which i will double check but doesn't look like its being shown to Gbot accidentally

Getting a bit stuck now on what else we could look at and test against. Any recommendations?

They have big issues with lack of SSR and relying on JS but other main areas and folders of the site are the same and are not having the issue

Checked blocking and no bots are getting blocked, checked responses against GSC inspection bot and main Gbot and they are getting the same thing

@johnmu.com hoping you might be able to help, got a site that is getting soft 404s across a main folder, the pages are working fine for users and in live testing on GSC but once the real crawl is done it continues to see it as a soft 404.

My tweet count recently has probably amounted to 1 per year. Maybe I'll be more active here. Maybe.
