Find the near-misses
Pages ranking 8–20 with decent impressions are the best candidates. Small improvements move them into clickable territory.
Diagnose before rewriting
Compare against what currently ranks. Missing subtopics, outdated data and intent mismatch cover most cases.
Rewrite the parts that matter
Title, introduction, structure and the sections that are genuinely thin. Wholesale rewrites often lose what was working.
Update the date honestly
Only when the content materially changed. Fake freshness is noticed.
Re-link
New internal links from recently published pages are the cheapest boost available.
