Run a content refresh with AI: Decay scores, update briefs & competitor benchmarks

Share the client's site and connect Search Console. Get a content refresh SEO audit with decay scores, per-page update briefs, and competitive gaps for every page.

Share the client's site and connect Search Console. You get back a decay-scored page inventory showing how much each page has dropped, a per-page update brief covering what specifically to change, and a comparison of what top competitors added since the content was last touched.

Hide details
  • Mention how old the content is. "Some posts are from 2023" helps Juma prioritize the oldest and most likely decayed pages. If you know the approximate age of the library, share it.
  • Flag evergreen vs. time-sensitive content. A "best tools" roundup from 2024 is more likely to have decayed than an explainer about a stable concept. Telling Juma "focus on the comparison and roundup posts" narrows the analysis to the highest-decay-risk content.
  • Connect Google Search Console. Decay shows up in position and click trends. Without GSC data, Juma can identify stale content by scraping dates and outdated references, but it cannot measure actual performance decline.
  • Share what the team has already refreshed. "We updated the pricing comparison page last month" prevents Juma from flagging it as stale. Context about recent work keeps the recommendations focused on pages that actually need attention.
  • Ask for one page at a time when writing updates. The refresh analysis covers many pages, but writing updated content works best page by page. Pick the top candidate, run the writing prompt, review, then move to the next one.

How do you write the updated content for a specific page?

Take the top refresh candidate from the decay analysis and produce the actual updated content. Share the page URL and the brief from Step 1, which identifies what to update, what to add, and what competitors have added since the page was last touched.

This step produces a complete set of updated content elements:

  • Rewritten introduction and any sections driving the traffic decline
  • Updated statistics and examples replaced with current data
  • New or restructured comparison tables matching what competitors now have
  • A new title and meta description with exact character counts

How do you sequence multiple refresh candidates into a quarterly plan?

When the decay analysis surfaces multiple pages worth refreshing, this step sequences them into a quarterly plan. Paste the full list of refresh candidates from Step 1 and get back a week-by-week calendar ready to assign to writers or editors.

The calendar includes:

  • 1 to 2 pages assigned per week, based on estimated effort
  • A one-line summary of the specific updates needed on each page
  • Sequencing by expected traffic impact and refresh effort, so high-recovery pages appear first
  • Pages requiring a near-complete rewrite flagged for later in the quarter

The calendar format makes it straightforward to track progress and adjust the sequence if client priorities shift between weeks.

Copy

Take all the refresh candidates and build a quarterly calendar. Sequence them by expected impact and estimated effort. For each week, assign 1-2 pages to refresh with a one-line summary of what to update on each one.

Set up your client project: past performance baselines and content inventory

A Juma Project is a shared space where the team stores everything Juma needs to know about a client. Create one project per client, add context as you go, and Juma will use what's relevant every time the team runs a flow. If the project already exists from other work, just add the items below.

What to add

Past Audit or Performance Baseline

A previous SEO audit, traffic snapshot, or content inventory. Juma uses this to compare current performance against a known baseline and flag what declined. Without it, Juma can still identify stale content, but it cannot measure the size of the decline.

Competitor URLs

The 3-5 domains the client competes with. For each refresh candidate, Juma checks what the competitors have updated or added, so the refresh addresses real competitive gaps, not just stale dates.

Content Calendar or Publishing Schedule

When pages were originally published and when they were last updated. Juma uses publish dates to identify the oldest content and flag pages that have not been touched in over a year.

Guide Juma with project info

Add a short description in the project's info field that tells Juma what each file contains and when to use it. For example: "Past Audit: January 2026 full content audit, use as performance baseline. Competitor URLs: top 5 organic competitors. Content Calendar: publishing dates for all blog posts."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much faster do refresh results appear compared to publishing new content?

Refreshed pages typically recover to previous ranking positions within 4 to 8 weeks of publishing the updated version. A new page takes 3 to 6 months to earn a stable ranking position from scratch. The difference comes from authority: a refreshed page already has the backlinks and indexing history that a new page needs time to build.

Pages that already have backlinks, indexing history, and ranking signals recover much faster than new pages build traction. A page that sat at position 4 a year ago and now sits at position 12 still carries the authority that originally earned that position.

The recovery work happens at the content layer, not the authority layer. Updating the content, fixing the title, and adding the elements competitors have added since the page was last touched is often enough to bring it back. Most teams see measurable position improvements within 4 to 8 weeks - significantly shorter than the 3 to 6 months a new page requires to reach the same organic visibility.

What does the content decay analysis check for?

The content decay analysis checks each page for three signals: position drops over the last 3 to 6 months, declining click-through rate trends in Search Console, and outdated date references in titles or body content. A title that reads "2024" in 2026 is flagged immediately because it actively reduces click-through rate before the reader lands on the page.

All three signals can appear independently. A page might show strong click-through performance while quietly dropping from position 4 to position 11, meaning the traffic loss has not fully materialized yet. Catching that page before the CTR confirms the decay is what separates proactive refreshing from reactive cleanup.

The date reference check carries outsized impact on CTR. Searchers process publication dates instantly. CTR drops for pages with stale year references in the title are measurable and often severe. The analysis flags any outdated date in the title or opening content and marks it as a high-priority fix, regardless of the traffic trend data.

How does the competitive comparison work?

For each refresh candidate, Juma checks what the top-ranking competitors have added or changed since the client's page was last updated. The comparison runs against the current top organic results for the page's primary keyword and identifies specific gaps: missing sections, outdated tables, or structural changes that competing pages have made since the client's content was published.

The competitive comparison is what separates a content refresh from a simple date update. Changing a year in a title without addressing the content gaps that caused competitors to outrank the page produces short-term CTR improvements at best. The per-page brief identifies the specific structural and informational gaps that are driving the ranking decline.

Adding those elements to the refreshed page produces durable position improvements rather than temporary ones. Competitor URLs added to the Juma Project before running the Flow sharpen this comparison and keep it scoped to the domains that actually matter for the client.

What should the team connect before running the content refresh SEO analysis?

Connect Google Search Console for the client site before running the Flow. Search Console provides the performance data that powers the content refresh SEO scoring: impressions, clicks, average position, and click-through rate by page and query. Without it, the analysis relies on content signals alone and cannot confirm whether a position drop is actually affecting traffic.

Beyond Search Console, adding competitor URLs and a content calendar to the Juma Project before running the analysis sharpens the output significantly. Competitor URLs allow the analysis to check real competitive gaps rather than generic ones. Publishing dates allow Juma to flag pages that have gone the longest without updates, which are statistically the highest-decay-risk pages in any content library.

These inputs take less than five minutes to add and materially improve the specificity of every page brief the analysis produces.
