Content Refresh Prioritization Analysis

Executive Summary

Data Quality: PARTIAL - 3 posts provided with position and impressions for all. CTR data incomplete (Post B missing clicks/CTR).

Key Findings:

• Post C (pos 19) is the highest priority - page 2 opportunity with 7k impressions
• Post B (pos 13) is strong page 2 opportunity but missing click data
• Post A (pos 5) already performing well on page 1

Projected Impact: With complete optimizations, estimated +180-350 clicks/month from these 3 posts.

Data Quality Assessment

Note: Post B analysis based on position/impressions only. CTR estimation assumes ~3% typical for position 13.

HIGH PRIORITY

1. Post C (Position 19 → Target: 10-12)

Priority Score: 78/100

Why prioritized: Page 2 near bottom with 7k impressions and below-expected CTR (2% vs 2-5% expected for pos 11-20). High potential to break into page 1.

Actions:

• Major content refresh - likely needs significant updates to compete
• Analyze top 10 competitors for content gaps
• Add missing sections, updated statistics, visuals
• Optimize title/meta for CTR improvement
• Build 2-3 internal links from related content

Expected outcome: Move to position 10-12 (+5-9 positions), CTR increase to 5-7%
Traffic gain: +210-350 clicks/month
Effort: 10-14 hours (Major Refresh)

2. Post B (Position 13 → Target: 8-10)

Priority Score: 72/100

Why prioritized: Page 2 with 9k impressions - strong impression volume indicates topic demand. Missing CTR suggests possible title/meta issues.

Actions:

• Moderate content update - add new sections, freshen examples
• A/B test new title variations (more compelling, current year)
• Improve meta description with clear value proposition
• Add structured data if applicable
• Internal linking from high-authority pages

Expected outcome: Move to position 8-10 (+3-5 positions)
Traffic gain: +270-450 clicks/month (assuming CTR improves to 5-7%)
Effort: 6-8 hours (Moderate Update)

Data request: Please provide clicks/CTR for more accurate projections.

MEDIUM PRIORITY

Post A (Position 5 → Target: 3-4)

Priority Score: 45/100

Current performance: Already page 1 with 10% CTR - solid performance at position 5.

Why medium priority: Already performing well. Risk of disruption outweighs potential gains. Small push could reach position 3-4.

Actions:

• Minor optimization only - don’t disrupt
• Refresh title with current year if applicable
• Add 1-2 new subsections to expand value
• Strengthen internal linking to this page
• Monitor for any decline before acting

Expected outcome: Position 3-4 possible, CTR 12-15%
Traffic gain: +120-240 clicks/month
Effort: 3-5 hours (Minor Optimization)

Strategic Insights

Quick Wins:

• Post B title/meta optimization could yield fast CTR gains
• All posts benefit from adding current year to titles if not present

Consolidation Check:

• With only 3 posts analyzed, no consolidation opportunities visible
• Recommend analyzing full inventory for keyword overlap

Seasonal Timing:

• Consider traffic patterns - if any posts are seasonal, time refresh 4-6 weeks before peak
