Why it matters
Articles lose rankings as their information dates and competitors publish fresher pages. Updating them keeps the links and history they’ve built up.
Signs you need this
- Older posts have lost traffic
- Articles mention old years, prices or outdated advice
- Several old posts overlap
What we do
Find the candidates
We use Search Console to find posts that have lost traffic or rank just off page one.
Update
We refresh facts, improve structure, fill gaps and update the date honestly.
Consolidate
Overlapping posts are merged and redirected.
How we check it worked
We compare traffic and rankings for refreshed posts before and after.
Common questions
Does changing the date help?
Only if the content genuinely changed. A new date on its own isn’t an update.
How often should content be refreshed?
Review your important pieces at least once a year.

Updating old content so it ranks again | seekandsprout
Content refreshing updates older articles that used to rank, so they win their positions back. It’s often faster than writing something new.
