A content audit offers a product portfolio approach to governing your content based on its specific value for your business. Here's a breakdown of our method:
Gathering Data
We collect all important data related to your content, including a complete list of site pages, articles, products, services, and other content posted on your website. Alongside your web analytics and server logs, we add inbound link data to complement this data.
Analyzing the Content Portfolio
Throughout the content audit, we scrutinize all pages to identify the most valuable ones. These become the keystones of your content portfolio. The analysis factors in traffic from search engines and referrals, engagement metrics like bounce rate and time on page, and inbound link information to sort pages into value brackets. Automated recommendation algorithms classify the pages, with flagged pages undergoing review.
Content Review
Our analysts meticulously evaluate the flagged pages, offering specific recommendations in each case. The process weeds out outdated content that no longer resonates with your audience, lacks traffic or inbound links. Key areas we scrutinize include:
- Content quality (evaluate visitor interaction with your content)
- Search engine performance (assess which content ranks well in search engines and focus on improving this content experience)
- Backlinks (identify well-linked pages, and flag low-value content to be redirected to high-quality resources)
- Conversion rates (use your website's conversion data to ensure the best content gets the most attention)
