Why most sites have a content problem

The average business website has 30–100 pages. About 20% drive all the traffic. Another 30% get zero visitors and drag down site quality signals. The rest are somewhere in the middle.

A content audit tells you which is which. From there, decisions are obvious: delete the dead pages, merge overlapping ones, update the winners, and stop wasting time creating new content until the existing set is working.

Who this is for

Sites with 20+ pages considering a content refresh, migration, or SEO cleanup.
