March 2025 Changelog
March 2025 centered on faster scraping and more controllable local SEO collection. Google Maps gained language controls and hotel review support, web crawling gained task threads, and AI article generation gained separate thread counts.
The practical result was better throughput across maps, crawler, and article creation workflows, with fewer loops and shorter waits when collecting reviews.
