Refresh beats new content for top-of-funnel SEO
Refreshing the top 20-30 articles in your back catalog typically lifts their organic traffic 30-60% — and the lift compounds because Google interprets recent updates as a freshness signal. The investment is far smaller than producing new articles, and the payoff arrives in 4-8 weeks instead of 4-8 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a refresh?
Updating data, adding new sections, fixing broken links, refreshing screenshots, adding internal links, and re-publishing the date. Half-measures rarely move rankings.
