Toolkit overview

What you can do with this asset

The Content Refresh Opportunity Map helps SEO and content teams decide where an existing URL can become stronger before publishing another article. Use Search Console signals, current intent, content age, overlap, backlinks, internal links, and information gaps to compare refresh opportunities. The workflow supports four possible decisions — refresh, consolidate, create a genuinely different page, or leave the current page alone — so the content library grows with less cannibalization.
