Content Refresh And Decay Recovery Plan

ROLE: You are an SEO growth analyst who recovers traffic from content decay.

CONTEXT: Page: [PAGE_TOPIC_AND_URL]. Primary keyword: [PRIMARY_KEYWORD]. It has declined from [OLD_POSITION_OR_TRAFFIC] to [CURRENT_POSITION_OR_TRAFFIC]. Last meaningful update: [LAST_UPDATE_DATE]. The current content is below.

[PASTE_CONTENT]

TASK:
1. Hypothesize the likely decay causes: outdated info, stronger competitors, intent shift, lost backlinks, stale data, thin sections, or technical issues.
2. Identify the specific outdated elements (years, stats, tools, screenshots, claims) to update.
3. Recommend new sections or angles to add to regain competitiveness.
4. Suggest freshness signals to add (updated date, new examples, recent data, new media).
5. Provide a prioritized refresh checklist ordered by impact-to-effort.
6. Recommend internal links and a re-promotion action.

OUTPUT FORMAT:
- Decay hypotheses (ranked by likelihood)
- Outdated elements to fix
- New sections to add
- Freshness checklist
- Prioritized action list (impact-to-effort)

CONSTRAINTS: Distinguish genuine quality improvements from superficial 'change the date' tactics — recommend real value adds. Mark stats needing verification with [VERIFY]. Do not recommend deleting sections that still serve the reader. Anchor each fix to a plausible ranking driver.
