## 1. Audit & prioritization
| Page | Class | Why | Recovery potential |
|------|-------|-----|--------------------|
| "Marketing Attribution Models Guide" | Rising Star | pos 8, climbing, outdated | High |
| "Google Analytics Tutorial" | Zombie | UA-based, GA4 killed it | Critical |
| "What is CTR" | Quick Win | pos 6, one tweak from snippet | High |
| "2022 Social Media Stats" | Dead Weight | stale, no traffic | Consolidate |
## 2. Top-10 refresh order
1. **GA4 Tutorial rewrite** — full rewrite, UA → GA4, new screenshots. Lost 90% of 40k/mo; biggest single recovery.
2. **Attribution Models** — add the 2 newest models, refresh data, add comparison table for table-snippet capture.
3. **What is CTR** — front-load a 50-word definition, add `FAQPage` schema → target featured snippet.
## 3. Before/after checklist (per page)
- Title: lead with primary keyword + current year + benefit
- Meta description: rewrite to a benefit + CTA (lift CTR)
- Add H2s matching PAA questions
- Refresh internal links to current pillar pages
- Compress images, add WebP
## 4. Consolidation
Merge three overlapping "email marketing tips" posts cannibalizing each other into one definitive guide; 301 the two weaker URLs into the strongest; preserve their backlinks.
## 5. Measurement
Baseline clicks/position before edit. Track at 7 / 30 / 90 days. Success = +25% clicks per refreshed page by day 90. Re-publish date updated to signal freshness.
