Revamping Old Content: Breathing New Life into Your Digital Assets

28/08/2023 Posted by Martin Bamford Ideas

Remember the thrill of rediscovering a £10 note in an old pair of jeans? That’s the potential goldmine waiting in your old content, ready to be unearthed and shine again in search rankings!

For small business owners, every piece of content on your website is an investment.

Over time, some of these investments might not yield the returns they once did. But instead of discarding them, consider giving them a fresh look and purpose.

Just like revamping an old window display can attract new customers, updating old content can boost your website’s ranking and visibility.

Why Update Old Content?

Search Engine Love: Search engines, especially Google, love fresh content. When you update old posts, it signals to search engines that your content is current and relevant.

User Experience: Your audience’s needs evolve. By updating content, you ensure it remains helpful and relevant to them.

Maximise ROI: You’ve already invested time and resources into creating that content. Instead of starting from scratch, make the most of what you already have.

Practical Tips to Revamp Old Content

1 – Identify Outdated Content:

Start by reviewing posts that are a year or older. Check if the information is still accurate and relevant.

2 – Improve Readability:

Break long paragraphs into shorter ones. Use bullet points, headers, and images to make the content more engaging.

3 – Add New Information:

Industries evolve. Add any new developments, trends, or data that have emerged since the post was first published.

4 – Optimise for SEO:

Revisit your keyword strategy. There may be new keywords you can target or old ones that need to be replaced.

5 – Update Images and Multimedia:

Replace outdated images, add infographics, or even record and embed videos to make the content more dynamic.

6 – Check and Update Links:

Ensure all external links are working and lead to reputable sources. Consider adding new links to more recent and relevant sources.

7 – Promote on Social Media:

Once updated, share your revamped content on social media platforms to attract a new audience.

Brewing a Fresh Take

Imagine you own a coffee shop. Over time, some items on the menu might not sell as well.

Instead of removing them, you tweak the recipe, give them a new name, and promote them as ‘new and improved’.

The same principle applies to your old content. Refresh it, rebrand it, and reintroduce it to your audience.

From Rust to Radiance

Think of your old content as a vintage car.

With regular maintenance, new parts, and a fresh coat of paint, it can become a classic everyone admires and values.

***

In the digital age, where content is king, small business owners must make the most of their content investments.

By regularly updating old content, not only do you improve its quality and relevance, but you also give it a new lease on life in the search engine rankings.

Don’t let your old content gather digital dust! Dive into your archives, identify posts that need a refresh, and start the revamping process today.

And if you found this guide helpful, share it with fellow business owners and help them boost their rankings too!

  • I had a great session with Martin this week. He’s professional, easy to work with, and a really good photographer. The images he captured during our session were top-notch. He’s got a knack for angles and lighting and made sure my personality came through in the photos.
