34 clicks in August 2025. 114 a year later.

Humanise Live produces podcasts, video and live events for purpose-driven organisations. We onboarded them in July 2025, look after the website and run the search content plan. Monthly clicks went from 34 in August 2025 to 114 in August 2026, and every full month since March 2026 has passed 100. Here is every month of it, including the month Google changed how it counts.

WHERE IT STARTED

Barely visible in search

Search Console’s record for humanise.live starts on 20 July 2025. In August 2025, the first full month, the site earned 34 clicks from 437 impressions at an average position of 40.1. That is page four. Part of that reading came from how Google counted impressions at the time, which changed in September 2025, so wherever it matters we compare like with like. The 90-day figures below start on 15 September 2025, after that change.

  • ProblemVery little reach.437 impressions in a full month is about 14 a day. Before anything else, the site needed to be shown for more searches.
  • ProblemThe yardstick moved mid-record.In mid-September 2025 Google stopped serving 100 results per page, which changed how impressions and position are counted. On numbers this small the effect is hard to isolate: impressions went from 123 in the week of 8 September to 65 in the week of 15 September, with clicks at 6 then 4. We treat that as a reporting change, not a result.
  • ProblemNo content library yet.At onboarding the blog had not launched. It was to be launched with us, so there were no articles answering the questions buyers search for.
  • ProblemA clean slate.By the client’s own account at onboarding, no SEO or marketing agency had worked on the site before.

THE RESULT

August to August, six numbers

Every figure comes from Google Search Console for humanise.live. Clicks are compared August to August. Where Google’s September 2025 counting change would flatter a comparison, we compare like with like. Nothing modelled, nothing extrapolated.

The month it turned

Clicks passed 100 in March 2026

Clicks were 58 in February 2026 and 107 in March, the first month above 100. Every full month since has stayed above it. In the same step average position moved from 11.2 to 8.4 and impressions from 10,498 to 26,722. The shift coincided with the keyword library work set out below.

MONTH BY MONTH

The full arc

Two measures, two charts. Clicks and position sit on different scales, so putting them on one axis would flatter the story.

SEARCH FOOTPRINT

From 29 impressions a day to 1,018

Clicks are the outcome. Reach widened well ahead of them. This compares the first 90 days after Google’s September 2025 change against the most recent 90, so both windows are counted the same way.

    A separate unit from reach: clicks recorded inside each 90-day window.

Position is impression-weighted across each window. Impressions per day is the 90-day total divided by 90. First 90 days: 15 September to 13 December 2025. Most recent 90: 22 June to 19 September 2026. Keyword-level counts were not available for this property, so this section measures the footprint in impressions rather than ranking keywords.

Google stopped serving 100 results per page in mid-September 2025. Impressions and average position before that point are not directly comparable with the months after it. Clicks were not affected in the same way.
