The problem

A big blog library isn't an asset if half of it is working against you

Most blogs grow without a plan. A post here, a news update there, a compliance piece from three years ago that's giving people the wrong information.

The longer it goes unreviewed, the harder it is to know where to start. But this audit does it for you. Every post reviewed and flagged – with context. So you know exactly what to keep and what needs to go.

No vague recommendations. Every post comes back with a specific flag and a specific reason, and where content signals are found inside the copy, exactly what triggered the flag.

You'll know which posts are safe to leave, which need a refresh, and which are doing damage. Delivered as a detailed spreadsheet and a PDF summary you can take straight to your team.

The framework

Built on 12 years of knowing what makes content work, and what makes it a liability

The flags aren't generated by a generic checklist. They're based on a framework I've developed across thousands of pieces of content in finance, fintech, SaaS, HR, and B2B – industries where outdated content can actively undermine trust.

Every judgement call reflects the same criteria I apply when I'm embedded in a client's content team: what's worth protecting, what needs fixing, and what's costing you more than it's earning.

How it works

Four inputs, one clear output

Your library is assessed against four criteria. This is what makes it useful. It's not just "this post is old." It's a considered verdict on what to do with it and why.

Age

How old each post is relative to how fast content ages in your industry.

Traffic

Whether each post is earning its place or just taking up space.

Search

Where each post ranks and whether it's performing in search.

Copy

What's actually inside each post: the claims, figures, and references.

Four outcomes

Every post gets one of four verdicts

Keep

Recent, accurate, and performing well. Nothing to do here.

Update

Worth keeping but needs attention – a refresh to stay accurate, competitive, and relevant.

Review

Older content still earning traffic, or copy that need verifying before they become a liability. Don't delete, but don't ignore.

Delete

Old, low-traffic, or no ongoing value. Taking up space and potentially undermining trust with anyone who lands on it. Cut it.

Questions

Everything you need to know about the Blog Audit

What do you need from me to get started?

A CSV export of your blog library from your CMS (most platforms including Webflow, WordPress, HubSpot, and Contentful can export this), a traffic report from your analytics platform covering the last quarter, and a Google Search Console report from the last quarter.

Not sure how to pull these? Get in touch and I'll point you in the right direction.

Is there a limit on how many posts you'll review?

No. The audit covers your entire blog library regardless of size. Whether you've got 30 posts or 300, every one gets reviewed and flagged.

What industries do you work with?

Primarily finance, fintech, SaaS, HR/payroll, and B2B – industries where content ages fast and the cost of outdated information is high. That's also where my framework does its best work, because the criteria for what makes content a liability are more specific and more consequential.

How is this different from a standard content audit?

Most content audits focus solely on SEO data – rankings and impressions. This one reads the copy. It surfaces specific signals inside each post that indicate a problem: not just that a post is old, but why it's a risk and what needs to change. That distinction matters, particularly in regulated or fast-moving industries.

I'm an agency, can I whitelable this?

Yes. If you're a web or branding agency pitching a site refresh or rebrand, this works well as a content readiness step. Get in touch to talk through how it fits your process.

What happens after the audit?

You get a clear picture of where your library stands and what to do with it. From there you can act on the findings yourself, hand them to your team, or commission a full Blog Strategy to plan the next 6-12 months of content.
