Wincher cut its ranking data to the top 30 and applied the cut to history too.

◆Current state
Wincher is a keyword rank tracker with local tracking, keyword research and SERP feature monitoring around it. Through early 2025 the feed is dense with practical additions: unlimited Keyword Explorer lookups on paid plans, a richer SERP audit showing competitors' on-page and backlink signals, tracking of Google's From sources across the web feature, competitor locations on the local map, and Local Rank Tracker coverage extended to 100km. Then the pace drops, and the last entry is a reduction — as of 18 September 2025, rankings are only returned to position 30.
◆Where it's heading
The first half of the period reads like a product widening its view of the SERP: more features tracked, more competitor context, fewer usage limits. The depth cut runs against that, and Wincher attributes it to Google changes affecting the whole industry rather than to a decision of its own. What makes it consequential is the retroactive scope — historical results beyond position 30 disappear from reports, graphs and exports, so the change is not only to what is collected but to what was already collected.
◆Prediction
The feed goes quiet after the depth reduction, so there is no clear signal about what follows; the unresolved question this leaves is what replaces deep-ranking data as an early-visibility metric, and nothing in these entries indicates Wincher's answer yet.

    SERP tracking depth reduced to 30

    ⚡ SPARK

    The one entry here that takes capability away rather than adding it, and it lands on the dataset the whole product is built from. Everything above it in this feed — deeper SERP audits, more tracked features, wider local coverage — assumed a view of the results page that this release narrows.

    Recent reorganization: what's new

    Keyword Research moves to the top navigation, Suggestions is renamed Untracked Ranking Keywords, and it joins Search Console under Opportunities in the Keyword Overview table. Information architecture work that renames a concept as much as it relocates it.

    ✨ New actions in the keyword modal

    The keyword modal gains group assignment, a jump into Keyword Explorer and removal in a few clicks. Routine management friction removed at the point where users handle individual keywords.

    Pinpoint your competitors on the map
