Content Confusion Challenges

A well-loved website will grow.

Organisations change, priorities shift and messaging moves forward, leaving content that doesn’t quite fit the structure that was built, or is no longer fit for purpose.

It’s tempting to throw it out, a new website, fresh design, and start over.

This fundamentally cuts across what your website is – a resource of information archived by search engines. Now is the time to embrace the content that has served you well and whip it into shape to support the long-term success of the organisation.

Many sites lack evergreen content that drives long-term engagement and SEO gaps, such as unoptimised keywords or low-ranking pages, mean missed chances to attract the right audience.

With a comprehensive website content audit, you can overcome these challenges. This process reveals what’s working, what’s not, and where new opportunities lie, enabling you to create content that drives traffic, improves user engagement, and aligns with your brand identity and goals.

FAQs

What is a website content audit?

A website content audit is a detailed evaluation of all the content on your site.

It analyses performance, relevance, and SEO to see if your upcoming content changes will negatively impact your brand.

 

Why is content inventory important?

Content inventory provides a clear overview of your site’s assets, helping you identify valuable pieces, spot redundancies, and decide what needs updating or removal.

Without it you could throw away your best performing bit of content or miss opportunities to create the best piece of content in the future.

Can a website content audit improve SEO?

Yes, all content that is indexable is “doing” SEO, this audit identifies keyword gaps and uncovers new opportunities.

However, for a specific SEO focus that covers other elements to SEO like site performance and offsite linking then we would recommend an SEO audit.

How often should I audit my content?

A content audit should be done annually or whenever there’s a major shift in your business strategy, branding, or audience needs.

It goes without saying that prior to building a new website application is a great time for an audit.

Will the audit include recommendations for future content?

Absolutely. The audit highlights opportunities for new content, focusing on SEO trends, audience interests, and evergreen topics aligned with your brand.

We will also challenge your brand purpose to help you create original content with a distinct voice.
