Summary
Diagnose and reverse traffic loss on existing pages using decay triage framework.
- Composite decay scoring across five weighted signals (traffic decline, position drops, CTR decline, content freshness, competitive displacement) prioritizes which pages need action most urgently
- Decision tree guides whether to refresh, consolidate, redirect, or retire each decaying page based on topic relevance, intent shifts, and content staleness
- Refresh playbooks tailored to content type (blog posts, how-to guides, data roundups) with specific checklists and time estimates for each recovery approach
- Prioritization matrix ranks pages by traffic value, decay severity, competitive opportunity, and effort to focus recovery work on highest-impact pages first

Recover Content
Diagnose and reverse traffic loss on existing pages using the decay triage framework: refresh, consolidate, redirect, or retire.
Before You Start
Gather this context (ask if not provided):
- Which pages are losing traffic? Specific URLs or a general "the whole blog is declining."
- How much traffic was lost? Percentage drop or absolute numbers.
- Over what timeframe? Gradual decline over months vs sudden drop.
- Any recent changes? Site redesign, CMS migration, content edits, algorithm update timing.
If the user doesn't know which pages are declining, suggest checking Google Search Console → Performance → Pages, sorted by click change over the last 6 months.
