Traffic declining
Organic visits have slowly dropped.
Overview
A content audit is a complete review of the pages on your website — their traffic, rankings, quality and purpose. A content refresh updates and improves the pages with the most potential.
Content naturally decays: facts go out of date, competitors publish better pages and search intent changes. Refreshing existing pages is often faster than writing new ones, because they already have history and links.
We use Search Console and analytics data to decide what to keep, improve, merge or remove, then rewrite and restructure pages with current information, better answers and stronger SEO.
Why it matters
Most websites over a few years old have content that is quietly losing value.
Organic visits have slowly dropped.
Posts mention old years, prices or facts.
Several posts cover the same subject.
Many short pages with little value.
Pages that used to rank have slipped.
Content is not structured for AI search.
What we do
A data-led process for improving existing content.
We collect traffic, ranking, engagement and link data for every page and score each one, so decisions are based on evidence.

We update facts and examples, add missing subtopics, improve structure, add FAQs and strengthen calls to action.
Ask about content updates & expansion →What we do
We combine overlapping pages into stronger ones, redirect the rest and make sure each topic has one clear page.
Ask about merging & cannibalisation fixes →What we do
We restructure key pages with clear answers, summaries and FAQs so AI tools can understand and quote them.

Keep, improve, merge or remove
Every page gets a clear decision.

|---|---|---|---|
| Strong performer | Top-ranking guide | Keep | Minor updates and protection |
| Declining page | Lost rankings this year | Improve | Full refresh and expansion |
| Overlapping pages | Three similar posts | Merge | Combine and redirect |
| Near page one | Positions 8–20 | Improve | Targeted optimisation |
| Low value | Old news, no traffic | Remove | Delete or redirect |

Content decay is the gradual loss of traffic and rankings as content becomes outdated or competitors publish better pages.

Removing low-value pages carefully, with redirects where needed, usually helps by focusing authority on your best content.
Usually not. Keeping the same URL preserves its history and links.
