As previously communicated, the recent service disruption was caused by adjustments in how Google processes Web Search queries, which impacted our platform's ability to function optimally. Our team has been working diligently to address this, and we have implemented a corrective update which we believe has effectively adapted to the changes.

We are actively monitoring all systems to validate the performance of the solution and ensure service stability. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to pursue full resolution.

We have made progress in restoring functionality, with a portion of our infrastructure now operating under the new approach. That said, access to Google Search remains limited, and success rates are not yet at expected levels.

To ensure consistent, reliable, and accurate data, we are taking a measured approach. Deploying changes too quickly without proper validation could introduce instability, lead to inconsistent results, or cause further disruptions.

Our team is actively working to:
- Expand deployment in a controlled manner to steadily improve access while maintaining stability.
- Restore performance levels to align with customer expectations as efficiently as possible.
- Proactively monitoring for further changes to adapt swiftly if needed.

We are making significant progress in refining our approach and expect continued improvements as we move forward. We recognize the challenges this situation is causing for your organization and deeply appreciate your understanding and patience as we work diligently to restore full functionality.

We are continuing to aggressively work on a solution to the ongoing issue affecting our Web Search SERP services.
As can be the case with large-scale web extraction services, site owner/operators occasionally deploy services that can limit or halt the ability to extract the expected data. Our team is diligently working to address these changes and restore full functionality as quickly as possible.
