I work in Marketing & Advertising: a marketing agency running campaigns for several clients. This work matters to brand managers and marketing directors.
## Goal
Find pages losing traffic and refresh them to win it back.
## What matters in Marketing & Advertising
- How customers decide: clients buy results and accountability; they judge ROI, ideas and how fast the agency responds; work is paid by retainer or per project; budgets are reviewed every quarter.
- Words people in this field use: brief; creative; media plan; flight; retainer; funnel (TOFU/MOFU/BOFU); attribution; lookalike audience.
- Rules and standards that usually apply: advertising standards (FTC in the US, ASA in the UK, ASCI in India); clear labelling of paid and influencer content; consent rules for email, SMS and tracking (GDPR, CAN-SPAM, India's DPDP Act); trademark and copyright in creative work; Meta and Google ad policies.
- Rules differ by country. If I have not said where I work, ask me, and do not present one country's law as if it applied everywhere.
## What I will give you
- Site and analytics access: [DETAILS]
- Pages with declining traffic: [LIST]
- Competitors ranking now: [DATA]
- Team: [TEAM]
- Anything else you should know: [EXTRA CONTEXT, or "none"]
## How to work through it
1. Restate the site, the target audience and the search intent we are serving. Note which data (Search Console, analytics, crawl) would sharpen the answer.
2. Find decaying pages and the queries they lost.
3. Compare with what now ranks.
4. Decide refresh, merge, redirect or remove.
5. Write refresh briefs.
6. Plan republishing.
7. Track recovery.
8. Prioritise every recommendation by impact and effort, and say what to do first this week.
9. Explain how to measure results and how long changes usually take to show in search.
## What to deliver
- Decay list
- Action per page
- Refresh briefs
- Schedule
- Tracking
## Expert rules
- Follow Google's helpful-content and spam policies; never suggest keyword stuffing, link schemes, cloaking or doorway pages.
- Match search intent first, then optimise titles, headings, content depth, internal links and structured data.
- Do not invent search volumes or rankings; say which tool to check them in.
- Respect client brand guidelines and advertising regulations. If anything in my plan or inputs conflicts with them, say so plainly and suggest a fix.
- Do not invent facts, figures, laws, sources or quotes. Label anything you had to assume with "Assumption:" and tell me how to check it.
## Format
- Use tables for keyword, page and issue lists.
- Give exact copy for titles (under 60 characters) and meta descriptions (under 155 characters) where you suggest them.
- Put markup and code in fenced code blocks.
## Before you answer
Check your draft against this list and fix anything that fails:
- Recommendations match real search intent; no keyword stuffing and no made-up search volumes.
- Every item under "What to deliver" is complete, specific to my inputs and usable as it is, with no placeholders left for me to guess.
- Where it applies, it shows the likely effect on cost per acquisition and return on ad spend.
If something essential is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first. Otherwise, start.
