Our Approach

We follow the data, not our instincts.

Content decisions made on gut feel tend to preserve the wrong things and delete the right ones. Our approach is built around evidence — what's actually happening on your site, not what we assume should be happening.

01

Discovery and Scoping

Every engagement starts with a scoping conversation. We learn about your site, your goals, what you already know about your content, and what's driving the audit. Are you preparing for a redesign? Concerned about search performance? Just know something is off but can't pinpoint it? The starting point shapes the approach.

We also establish what data you have available. GA4, Universal Analytics history, Search Console, third-party tools — we work with what exists and flag any gaps that might affect the analysis.

02

Building the Inventory

We crawl your site to build a complete picture of everything that exists. This includes pages you know about and pages you've probably forgotten. Old campaign landing pages, archived blog posts, product pages for discontinued items — all of it gets captured.

The inventory becomes the foundation for everything that follows. You can't evaluate what you haven't fully mapped. This step takes time to do properly, and we don't rush it.

03

Data Integration

Once the inventory is complete, we connect each page to its performance data. Traffic, engagement metrics, search impressions and clicks, backlinks where relevant. This is where the picture starts to get interesting — and where assumptions often get challenged.

Pages that feel important often aren't performing. Pages that seem minor sometimes turn out to be doing significant work. The data tells a more honest story than intuition does.

The pages your team thinks are important and the pages actually driving results are often completely different sets.

Update

Has traffic, needs freshening. Worth the investment.

Consolidate

Overlaps with other pages. Merge for stronger result.

Retire

No traffic, no purpose. Clean removal with redirect plan.

04

Scoring and Classification

Each page gets evaluated against a consistent set of criteria: traffic volume and trend, engagement quality, search visibility, content freshness, topical relevance to your current goals, and relationship to other pages on the site.

The output is a classification for every page: update, consolidate, or retire. Not "consider reviewing" or "may need attention." A clear call, with the reasoning documented.

05

The Action Roadmap

The final deliverable is a prioritized roadmap your team can act on. Not a raw data dump. Not a list of everything that needs doing with no sense of order. A sequenced plan that starts with the highest-impact actions and works down.

We include enough context for each item that whoever implements the work understands what to do and why. The roadmap is designed to be handed off and executed without us needing to be in every room.
