#Content refresh

Updating what you already published, which is often worth more than writing something new. We cover how to find pages that slipped, what actually needs changing, and why a date bump without an edit is worse than doing nothing. You will find the signs that an article is incomplete rather than outranked, and how to tell the difference before spending an afternoon. We also cover keeping specifics current in FAQ sections, which age faster than article bodies. You will also find how to decide between editing a page and leaving it alone, because not every drop is something you can fix. We finish with a simple rhythm: check quarterly, edit what has real gaps, and record what you changed.
