Content Audit

Audit all existing content by traffic trend, ranking position, and last update date. Identify pages that have declined, pages with quick-win potential, and pages to consolidate.

Refresh Prioritization

Prioritize refreshes by potential impact: declining high-traffic pages first, then stagnant pages near page-one thresholds. Quick wins typically deliver results within 2-4 weeks.

Update Process

Add current data, expand thin sections, improve structure, and update outdated information. Refresh the publish date only when substantial updates have been made.

Performance Tracking

Track refreshed page performance for 60 days post-update. Measure traffic recovery, ranking changes, and engagement improvements.
