Automatically Identify and Flag Outdated or Underperforming Content

Some of your content is underperforming — but which pages? Manually auditing hundreds of posts is impossible. With Summrly, AI automatically scans your site to detect outdated information, declining traffic, and low engagement — then flags exactly which articles need refresh or rewrite, so you can boost performance fast.

Why a Content-First Website Solves This

Most creators don’t realize their content is decaying until it’s too late. Summrly treats your site as a living asset. By analyzing content age, keyword rankings, traffic trends, and freshness signals, AI spots underperforming pages and suggests action — turning invisible losses into visible opportunities.

Step-by-Step Guide

Create Your First Topic – Enter your niche (e.g., “digital marketing”)
Set Up Your Content Focus – Connect your Google Analytics and Search Console (optional)
Add Keywords – Include core terms to track performance decay
Brand Details – Set your content freshness standards
Complete Setup – AI scans your library and flags outdated or underperforming content with improvement suggestions

Enter your topic below to uncover your hidden content gaps — instantly.

Case Study: A Blog That Grew Traffic by 110% After a Refresh

Mark ran a tech blog with stagnant traffic. He used Summrly’s content audit tool to scan 200 articles. AI flagged 47 as outdated or underperforming — many still referencing discontinued tools or old algorithms. He refreshed 30 with updated data and AI-generated improvements. Within 8 weeks, those pages saw a 140% traffic increase, and overall site traffic rose by 110%.

FAQs

What metrics does Summrly use to flag content?
Traffic decline, ranking drops, content age, keyword relevance, and engagement rates.
Do I need to connect analytics tools?
Optional. AI uses content signals by default, but performance data improves accuracy.
Can I set my own freshness rules?
Yes. Define what “outdated” means for your niche (e.g., “anything over 18 months” or “pre-iOS 17”).
Does it work for non-blog content?
Yes. Applies to service pages, product descriptions, and landing pages too.
Will this help my SEO rankings?
Absolutely. Updating outdated content is a proven way to regain lost rankings and traffic.

Not all content ages well. With Summrly, you don’t wait for traffic to drop — you stay ahead of decay and keep your site competitive.
