Question 1

How can I improve my old content?

Accepted Answer

First, identify which pages to update based on two factors: economic value and pages that have decreased in clicks, impressions, and rankings. Use Google Search Console to find the pages that have dropped.
Improve the click-through-rate (CTR) from Google SERPs by updating Title Tag, Meta Description with direct response copy. Include the main keyword, write user benefits, and add a call-to-action (CTA). Also, if your post displays the date in the search results, update the displayed date.
Fix grammar, readability, and spelling. No excuse for excessive typos. Make your content easy to read. Avoid industry jargon that your users will not understand.
Improve On-Page SEO. Update alt tags for images, update internal linking strategies. Ensure keywords are used consistently. Write for users first, search engines second.
Improve keyword selections. Use Google Keyword Planner, and Google's related search suggestions, Google Trends, and competitor content to identify additional keywords or topics.
Add schema markup. Consider FAQ and Video schema. This will increase the chance your page will show in Google's Featured Snippet section.
Promote your updated content via social media and via your newsletter.
