Content Refresh Brief
Overview
Given a URL and optionally its GSC/GA4 performance data, produce a structured refresh brief that covers SERP intent analysis, entity gaps, content outline, internal link plan, and technical recommendations.
Inputs
- URL of the page to refresh
- Current GSC performance (clicks, impressions, CTR, avg position, top queries)
- Prior period GSC performance for comparison
- Optional: page content (if the user pastes it)
- Optional: GA4 engagement or conversion data
Workflow
- Search the page's primary query in a current SERP.
- Analyze top 5 organic results for:
- Content format (guide, list, tool, video, etc.)
- Content depth (word count, section count, entities covered)
- Date freshness (when each page was last updated)
- SERP features present (featured snippets, People Also Ask, video, etc.)
- Compare current page content against SERP expectations:
- Does it match the dominant content format?
- Are key entities missing?
- Is the content depth competitive?
- Is the page fresh enough?
- Review GSC query data to identify:
- Queries with declining CTR despite stable impressions
- Queries where the page ranks but doesn't satisfy intent
- Queries from the prior period that stopped driving traffic
- Recommend:
- Content changes (restructure, expand, add sections, update data)
- Technical changes (title, meta description, schema, canonical)
- Internal link additions (from high-traffic pages)
- Entities to add or strengthen
- Estimate effort and expected recovery.
