Refresh Pages That Are Slipping
Pages lose ground over time as competitors publish newer answers. Find the ones slipping and update them.
Why this matters
Updating a page that already ranks is cheaper than writing a new one, and it often wins the lost traffic back within weeks.
✓ How to do it
- In GSC Performance, click the date filter, choose Compare, and compare the last 3 months to the previous 3 months.
- Open the Pages tab and sort by the change in clicks. The biggest drops are your refresh list.
- For each page, search its main keyword and see what the current top results cover that you don't.
- Update facts, prices, and screenshots. Add missing sections and new FAQs.
- Change the date on the page only when you made a real update.
- Use URL Inspection → Request indexing after each update.
