🔮 What’s Next

This is just the beginning — even more exciting updates are coming soon. Stay tuned! 🚀

— The Zutrix Team

Dear Zutrixers,

We’re reaching out to share an important and exciting update about what’s coming next at Zutrix.

Just a month ago, we announced pricing adjustments to adapt to Google’s sudden removal of the num=100 parameter — a change that dramatically impacted how SEO tools across the industry collect and process search data. This shift forced every provider, including us, to handle nearly ten times more requests to deliver the same results, resulting in significantly higher infrastructure costs.

Since then, our engineering and infrastructure teams have worked around the clock to optimize every layer of Zutrix — from proxy systems and caching to internal data routing and queue management.

The Results Are In

We’re proud to share that our technical optimizations have reduced our operating costs by approximately 60–70%.

These are not just incremental savings — they represent a major breakthrough in efficiency, achieved without sacrificing accuracy or reliability.

What This Means for You

We are now entering the final testing and validation phase of our new infrastructure. Once we confirm stability and consistency, we plan to introduce new, significantly lower pricing plans that reflect our reduced costs.

You can expect:

• Substantial price reductions across all plans

• Even faster crawling performance and improved response times

• Enhanced scalability as our systems now handle higher volumes at lower cost

These updates will go into effect very soon, and we’ll publish a detailed announcement once everything is finalized.

Our Commitment to Transparency

From day one, our promise has been clear — to always keep you informed about the reasons behind every major change. When costs increased due to Google’s structural update, we communicated openly. Now that we’ve optimized our systems and regained efficiency, we’re equally committed to passing those benefits directly back to you.

We deeply appreciate your patience and trust throughout this process. The SEO ecosystem moves fast, and while these past weeks have tested everyone in the industry, we’re emerging stronger, more efficient, and more prepared than ever.

Stay tuned — the next update will bring great news.

With appreciation and optimism,

The Zutrix Team

Following our recent pricing update announcement, we're introducing Weekly Plans - a carefully designed alternative that we've been developing to help those affected by the industry-wide cost increases.

The Crucial Difference: We Haven't Cut Corners

While other SEO tools have quietly reduced their crawling depth from 10 pages to just 1 or 2 pages of results to maintain their prices, we've taken a different approach.

With Zutrix Weekly Plans:

• ✅ Still fetching the first 100 results

• ✅ Still crawling 10 full pages of SERPs

• ✅ Same comprehensive data depth as daily plans

• ✅ Only the frequency changes - not the quality

Many competitors chose to maintain their pricing by drastically reducing the data they provide. We believe that's misleading. Instead, we're being transparent: same high-quality data, delivered weekly instead of daily, at 60% less cost.

How Weekly Plans Work

Your SEO data updates every Sunday at midnight UTC, including:

• Complete keyword rankings (100 results, 10 pages)

• Full AI visibility tracking across all models

• Comprehensive competitor analysis

• Complete site audits and backlink data

Pricing Structure:

• Starter: $29/month (vs. $59/month daily)

• Pro: $59/month (vs. $199/month daily)

• Agency: $89/month (vs. $299/month daily)

The Strategic Consideration

This isn't a rushed solution. We've carefully analyzed usage patterns and found that many successful SEO strategies don't require daily updates. Weekly data points are often sufficient for:

• Tracking ranking trends

• Monitoring competitor movements

• Measuring content performance

• Strategic planning and reporting

For volatile keywords or time-sensitive campaigns, daily plans remain available.

Implementation

To switch to Weekly Plans:

1. Access your Billing settings

2. Click "Change Plan"

3. Select "Weekly Checks"

4. Choose your plan tier

Your historical data remains intact, and you can adjust your plan frequency anytime.

A Note on Industry Integrity

We could have followed others by silently reducing our data quality, but that's not who we are. Google's infrastructure changes have increased costs for everyone. The question is how each company responds. We chose transparency and options over hidden compromises.

Questions?

Our team can help assess whether weekly or daily monitoring best suits your specific needs. Contact support@zutrix.com for a personalized consultation.

Thank you for your continued trust as we navigate these industry challenges together.

Dear Zutrix Community,

We're writing to inform you about an important pricing update that will take effect on September 25, 2025. This isn't a decision we've taken lightly, and we want to be completely transparent about why this change is necessary.

The Catalyst: Google's Game-Changing Decision

In mid-September 2025, Google made a significant change to its search infrastructure by removing the num=100 parameter. For those unfamiliar with the technical details, this parameter allowed SEO tools like Zutrix to retrieve 100 search results with a single request. Its removal has fundamentally transformed how rank tracking works across the entire industry.

According to recent industry analysis, this change means that what previously required one request now requires ten separate requests. This isn't just a minor inconvenience – it's a seismic shift that has increased operational costs by up to 10x for all SEO tools.

The Domino Effect on the SEO Industry

This change has created a cascade of challenges:

• Infrastructure Costs: We now need 10x more server capacity to deliver the same data

• Proxy Expenses: Each request requires sophisticated proxy management to avoid detection

• Anti-Detection Systems: More requests mean more complex systems to ensure reliable data collection

• Processing Power: Handling 10x more requests requires significantly more computational resources

Every major SEO tool – from Semrush to Ahrefs to Moz – is grappling with these same challenges. The entire industry is being forced to adapt, and unfortunately, the economics are inescapable.

As Zutrix, we have waited more than 7 days to see a possible roll-back from Google, but no hope. So in the meantime, we have covered all of the extra costs for our users to keep systems running.

Why We Must Adjust Our Pricing

We've absorbed these increased costs for as long as possible, exploring every avenue to maintain our current pricing structure. However, the reality is stark:

• Our data collection costs have increased by over 800%

• Server infrastructure expenses have grown exponentially

• The complexity of maintaining accurate, real-time ranking data has multiplied

• Even if we use sophisticated human-like collection of Google data through mobile or desktop simulators, our scraping prices got affected

To continue providing you with the accurate, reliable rank tracking data that your SEO success depends on, we must adjust our pricing to reflect these new operational realities.

What This Means for You

Starting September 25, 2025, our pricing will be adjusted as follows and we are introducing new packages:

IMPORTANT: ALL EXISTING USERS WILL RECEIVE FLAT 20% OFF (FOREVER)

The Bigger Picture

Moving Forward Together

The SEO landscape is changing rapidly, but our mission remains the same: to provide you with the insights and tools you need to succeed in search. These pricing adjustments, while significant, ensure we can continue that mission for years to come.
