Low-CTR snippet refresh for top-30 pages
Audit pages already ranking in the top 30 with weak click-through rates, then tighten titles, excerpts, and snippet structure before writing new content.
Why this can grow a startup
These pages already have partial distribution. The problem is not discovery alone but packaging. Small copy and formatting changes can turn existing impressions into more clicks without waiting for a new article to rank. It is one of the cheapest ways to recover demand you already earned but failed to convert at the SERP.
Source-backed example
