How to avoid automated queries to Google

[koamit]

We have a search engine marketing team working on different projects and we share same IP. We check our rankings manually on Google, is it sending automated queries to Google? Can it affect our sites? What solution do you suggest to check rankings without sending multiple queries to Google?

Your post says you check rankings 'manually'. Do you do this by putting the query into Google through a browser? If so, the only time I've seen this have any effect is when you get a CAPTCHA to check you're still human.

For us we have noticed that this happens less if you're logged into Google. But it happens so rarely because you'd have to be able to post the query and record the ranking in such a fast time for Google to think you're automating queries, so I'm not sure you need to worry.

You should have your IP address's omitted via google analytics, there is an option to do that

That assumes they have a fixed IP though doesn't it?
