Catch content decay before traffic disappears
Combine Search Console trends with content age and SERP freshness data to find pages slowly losing ground - before the decline becomes critical.
Illustrative preview - actual platform experience may differ.
How it works
Three data layers that reveal which content is decaying.
Index & connect data
Crawl your site and connect Search Console. Morrison indexes your content and makes performance data available for AI analysis.
Build decay workflows
Create workflows that ask the agent to identify pages with declining metrics and aging content. The agent analyses patterns across your indexed pages and Search Console data.
Review & act
Get analysis highlighting pages that may be decaying. Your consultants review the findings and decide which pages to refresh, consolidate or retire.
What you can do
Traffic decline signals
Cross-reference Search Console data with crawl timestamps to identify pages where traffic, impressions or CTR are trending downward over time.
Content age tracking
Use crawl data to see when pages were last updated. Ask the agent to flag pages where content age may be a ranking liability based on performance trends.
SERP freshness comparison
Use the SerpAPI workflow step to pull live search results for your ranking queries. Ask the agent to compare competitor content freshness against yours.
Segment-level decay analysis
Analyse decay patterns by site section. Find out if your blog is aging faster than product pages, or if a specific category is losing ground.
Decay severity assessment
Build workflows that assess decay severity based on traffic trends, content age and competitive context - helping your team triage what matters most.
Repeatable decay monitoring
Save workflows and re-run them after each crawl to catch new decay patterns. Build a repeatable process your team can rely on.
Frequently asked questions
What is content decay in SEO?
Content decay is the gradual decline of a page's organic traffic and rankings over time. It happens when content becomes outdated, competitors publish fresher material, or search intent shifts. Detecting decay early lets you refresh pages before traffic loss becomes critical.
How does Morrison detect content decay?
Morrison combines Search Console performance trends with content age data and SERP freshness signals. Automated workflows cross-reference these data points to score each page's decay severity, so your team knows exactly which pages need attention first.
How often should I run a content decay audit?
For most sites, a monthly decay check is sufficient. Morrison workflows can run on a recurring schedule so you get early warnings automatically, without manual effort. High-traffic sites may benefit from weekly monitoring.
