Deciding which old pages to update, consolidate, or remove is a triage problem, and Claude can help you work through a long list of URLs faster than doing it manually one page at a time.
Feed It Performance Data Alongside the Content
Give Claude both a page's current content and its performance trend, and ask it to recommend refresh, consolidate, or remove based on both signals together.
Ask for Specific Refresh Suggestions
Rather than a generic "this needs updating," ask Claude to identify exactly what's outdated — old statistics, dead references, or missing subtopics competitors now cover.
Batch Similar Pages Together
Feeding several related, underperforming pages into the same conversation often surfaces consolidation opportunities you wouldn't spot reviewing pages one at a time.
Next step: Use the Google Cache Checker to see how a page is currently indexed before deciding whether to refresh or retire it.
