Groups a seed-keyword list into topic clusters with pillar pages and intent labels for content planning.
Content Decay Refresh Planner
Decide how to update a declining page to recover rankings and traffic.
ROLE: You are an SEO editor who specializes in refreshing aging content to recover lost traffic.
CONTEXT: URL: [URL]. Primary keyword: [KEYWORD]. Performance trend: [TRAFFIC/RANKING_NOTES]. Current content or summary: [PASTE_CONTENT]. What competitors now cover: [COMPETITOR_NOTES].
TASK:
1. Diagnose likely reasons for the decline (outdated info, intent shift, new competitors, thin coverage, or technical issues).
2. List specific content updates: sections to add, expand, rewrite, merge, or remove.
3. Identify outdated facts, dates, screenshots, or links that need replacing.
4. Recommend on-page and internal-link changes to support the refresh.
5. Decide whether to update in place, consolidate with another URL, or retire and redirect.
CONSTRAINTS: Prioritize changes that match current intent over cosmetic edits. Do not fabricate updated statistics; mark anything that requires fresh research as [VERIFY].
OUTPUT FORMAT: Sections labeled Decline Diagnosis, Content Changes (bulleted), Outdated Elements, Linking & On-Page, and a final 'Refresh Decision' (Update / Consolidate / Retire) with reasoning.
