How to refresh pages that are losing search clicks

Vega spots pages whose clicks and positions are sliding, works out why, and briefs a refresh that you approve before the page changes.

When you need this

Pages that used to bring steady search traffic are fading, often because they are out of date or a competitor published something better.

How the crew does it

  1. Find the decaying pages

    Search Crew

    Vega compares Search Console clicks and positions over time and lists pages in steady decline.

  2. Diagnose the decline

    Search Crew

    Outdated facts, a new competitor page, a shift in what searchers want, or a technical issue such as a changed canonical.

  3. Brief the refresh

    Lyra drafts the update from Vega's brief: what to add, cut and restructure. Iris checks the claims.

  4. Approve the update

    You

    You review the refreshed page before it is published. Content changes require approval by default; opt-in autopilot on Scale is the exception.

What waits for you

The refreshed content before it replaces the live page.

Measured by

Clicks, impressions and average position for the refreshed page against its pre-refresh trend.

Limits

Needs Search Console to see decline in real data. A refresh cannot recover traffic lost to a change in what searchers want if the page no longer fits that need.
