The Content Audit Checklist gives you a structured way to review existing pages before you rewrite, consolidate, redirect or remove them. It is built for teams that need a quick but defensible audit pass across a content inventory.

What is inside

The checklist covers crawl preparation, per-page relevance, freshness, performance signals, cannibalization checks and a simple scoring key. It also includes a next-action column so every reviewed page receives a decision rather than just a note.

How to use it

Start by exporting the pages you want to review, then work through each section. Use the scoring key to separate pages that should be kept, improved, consolidated, redirected or removed. Treat the checklist as a decision aid, not as an automated rule set.
