Content Audit

Fix What You Have First

Most websites already contain the pages that should be converting. They are thin, duplicated, outdated or targeting nothing anyone searches for. An audit tells you what to rewrite, what to consolidate, what to remove and what is genuinely missing.

Why Choose PayPerClick For Your Content Audit

Rewriting an existing page almost always outperforms publishing a new one, because the page already has history, links and index coverage. We have audited content libraries since 2002, from twenty page brochure sites to catalogues running into thousands of URLs.

Content Audit

For Businesses With More Content Than Results

If you have published consistently for years and organic enquiries have not moved, the problem is rarely effort. It is usually that the library has grown without direction, with pages competing against each other and none of them fully answering the question. An audit sorts what to keep from what to fix.

Frequently asked questions

A page by page review of everything published on your site, measured against what it returns and what your buyers are searching for. The output is a decision for every URL, a set of rewrite briefs and a plan for what to write next.
Sometimes, though consolidation is usually better than deletion. Merging three thin posts into one strong page and redirecting the others preserves the links and index history while removing the competition between them.
Two to four weeks for most business sites. Large libraries take longer, though we sample and cluster rather than reviewing every URL individually once clear patterns emerge.
No. The audit is the plan. The improvement comes from executing it, and in most cases the majority of the gain arrives from the rewrite and consolidation work in the first three months.
Yes, or your team can. The plan is written with briefs attached so it can be handed to any competent writer without needing us to interpret it.
AI answers cite content that directly answers a question in a clearly structured form. The audit identifies which pages are close to that standard, which need restructuring and which questions your site does not answer at all.
