AI Overview answer block
What is content refresh?
Content refresh is the practice of identifying articles whose rankings, citations, or traffic are decaying — then updating them with new data, expanded sections, or improved schema to recover (or surpass) the previous performance.
In the AI search era, content refresh has expanded beyond Google rankings to include AEO signals: when an article loses ChatGPT or Perplexity citations, refreshing it is the fix.
Daily monitoring of ranking + citation drops.
What changed? Competitor move? Stale data? Schema break?
AI drafts the updated article; one-click publish back to CMS.

Why now
Content decay is the silent killer.
Most content teams ship new articles every week. Few refresh old ones. Cumulative decay erodes 40%+ of organic traffic over 12 months.
Average annual erosion if old articles aren’t refreshed.
Top 12 candidates ranked by traffic + citation impact.
AI drafts the update + republishes — no manual rewrites.
The closed-loop difference
Others detect decay. SemlyPro refreshes.
Content audit tools flag pages losing traffic and stop. SemlyPro flags, diagnoses, drafts the refresh, and republishes — closing the loop.

AI-drafted refresh
AI generates the updated version: new sections, current stats, fixed schema, improved entity coverage.
