How to decide what content to refresh next

content-decay-refresh a saved expert workflow your assistant follows, in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

Find the pages and queries that decayed since their peak, rank them by recoverable clicks, and recommend refresh vs consolidate vs leave for each, the refresh-first content worklist.

Private beta Part of the quattr-ai-search plugin, rolling out org by org. Request access ↗

Say any of these

  • content decay
  • which pages decayed
  • what should we refresh next
  • declining pages
  • refresh worklist
  • pages losing traffic over time
  • stale content to update

You never name the skill or a tool, the assistant routes on what you asked. These are the phrasings it recognises for this one.

And when it stays out of the way

Not for one week's movers (rank-movement-review), for "why did page X drop" diagnosis (anomaly-investigator), or for net-new content planning (keyword-gap-audit feeds that).

Use it instead of rank-movement-review when the frame is decay-over-months and the deliverable is a refresh worklist; use anomaly-investigator instead for a single page's cause hunt.

The numbers behind it

What it refuses to do

  • Recoverable clicks are modeled from the site's own curve, labeled, never promised; refresh lift claims post-execution use controls, not trend lines.
  • Consolidation is recommended only after intent review, intentional multi-page coverage is not cannibalization.
