FAQ

When should I refresh an old blog post?

Refresh a post when traffic drops, rankings slip, examples become outdated, search intent changes, or competitors cover the topic better.

Should I rewrite the whole article?

Not always. Keep sections that still satisfy intent, then rewrite or add sections where the page is thin, stale, or off-angle.

Can this help with content decay?

Yes. It gives you a structured prompt for diagnosing likely gaps and planning updates, but you should validate with analytics and SERP review.

Should I change the URL when refreshing content?

Usually no, unless the URL is misleading or there is a strong technical reason. Preserve equity when possible.
