Step-by-step guide to content pruning

Content pruning is, put simply, „trimming content”. It is a multi-stage process of removing, merging and optimising existing content on a website to improve the quality of the site as a whole. This process could be described as a strategic tid-up, which is particularly useful for websites that have a large amount of published content.

Step 1. Content audit

The first stage involves gathering all URLs and analysing their effectiveness. Factors assessed include organic traffic, visibility in search results, conversions, content quality and how up-to-date the content is. The aim is to identify pages that are not meeting their objectives.

Step 2. Analysis and classification

Based on the data collected, each piece of content is assigned to one of the following action categories: leave as is, update or expand, merge with other content, or delete. At this stage, the cause of poor performance is also identified, e.g. outdated information, keyword cannibalisation or low user value.

Step 3. Implementing the changes

The planned actions are then carried out. This may include updating and expanding articles, merging similar content, implementing 301 redirects following the removal of pages, improving internal linking, and optimising SEO.

Step 4. Monitoring the results

Once the changes have been implemented, the results should be monitored. Changes in organic traffic, keyword rankings, the number of indexed pages and conversions are analysed. This allows you to assess the effectiveness of content pruning and plan further optimisation measures. These four stages form a closed cycle which is worth repeating regularly to maintain the high quality and effectiveness of the content on the website.

When is it a good idea to carry out content pruning?

Content pruning must be carried out for every website that features a guide or blog where content has been published regularly over the last few years. This will help to organise the content and maximise visibility in search results and AI/LLM systems.

Content pruning is a multi-stage and complex process that requires specialist SEO knowledge and analytical skills. We do not recommend carrying out content pruning on your own.

We bill for the content pruning service based on the number of hours worked during the process. We continuously monitor the number of hours and provide this information to the client at the time of invoicing.

In most cases, content pruning results in increased visibility of the website in search results and AI/LLM systems.

It is not easy to determine on your own whether content pruning is actually necessary. The most common signs, which are easy to spot, are short and shallow content, articles not directly related to the website’s subject matter, and repetitive article topics.
