Content Refresh Service
Content Refresh Service is a done-for-you service where ElaborationAI updates existing pages or articles against a fresh brief, with reviewed rewrites and an internal-link pass before delivery. This page is for small business owners and operations managers whose site has pages that still earn attention but have drifted from the current offer, the current audience, or the current site map. The service sits inside Marketing content services and is the right choice when the URL should keep its standing instead of being replaced by a new page with new links.
Definition
A content refresh is the work of rewriting an existing page in place so that the copy reflects what the business does today, the proof points the team can actually substantiate today, and the internal links that match today’s site map. The refresh keeps the URL stable so the page does not lose attribution from links pointing at it. The output is a rewritten draft of each refreshed page, a change summary that documents what was rewritten and why, and an internal-link update list a developer or editor can apply alongside the new copy. A reviewer confirms that no new claim appears in the copy without a source you can stand behind.
Inputs
The service starts from four inputs. First, the list of page URLs to refresh together with the current goal of each page, so the work is aimed at the right outcome per page rather than a generic polish. Second, any new offers, proof points, testimonials, or audience updates since the page was last written, so the refresh is based on current facts rather than a guess. Third, brand voice and tone notes plus a do-not-claim list of words and phrasings that must stay out of the copy. Fourth, the current internal-link map or sitemap so we know which targets are valid and which ones are stale. If any of these inputs is missing, the service team flags it during intake instead of inventing the answer.
Process
The flow is three steps and every step is bounded by the agreed brief.
- Intake and refresh brief. We collect the URLs to refresh, the current goal of each page, any new offers or proof points, and the brand tone notes. We define what counts as a successful refresh per page before any rewriting starts.
- Rewrite, internal link pass, and reviewer check. We rewrite each page against the refreshed brief, update internal links to match the current site map, and run a reviewer pass for positioning, factual accuracy, and forbidden-claim absence.
- Delivery and revision rounds. Refreshed copy ships in the agreed format with a per-page change summary. Up to two revision rounds per page inside the agreed scope are included before the final handoff.
Outputs
The deliverable is refreshed copy for each page in the agreed format with all required sections present. Alongside the copy, you receive a per-page change summary describing what was rewritten, what was removed, what was added, and why. You also receive updated internal-link suggestions per refreshed page, mapping the refreshed copy to the parent hub, adjacent services, and supporting articles. Finally, a flagged-claims list captures anything that needs your sign-off before publishing, so claims that crossed a brand or compliance boundary are surfaced rather than buried.
Definition of done
The work is complete when each refreshed page ships with its rewritten copy, the change summary, updated internal-link suggestions, and forbidden-claim removal completed; when up to two revision rounds inside scope have been honored; and when you confirm the refreshed draft preserves the positioning and voice you wanted to keep. The engagement closes only when those conditions are met for every page on the list.
Human review
A reviewer checks the rewrite against the refresh brief, validates factual accuracy of any new claims, confirms tone match, and removes any forbidden-claim language before delivery. The reviewer enforces the boundary that no refresh introduces a new outcome promise that the page did not have before. Nothing ships without this pass, and any claim that cannot be backed by your supplied sources is removed or flagged back to you with a recommended replacement.
Pricing notes
Priced per refreshed page and per revision-round scope, with a quote delivered through the workspace order flow after intake review. The service does not publish fixed dollar prices because cost scales with the number of pages, the depth of rewriting needed, and how many revision rounds you want included. The general Pricing page covers the model; Performance-based pricing explains the alternative outcome-linked arrangement when that fits.
Related services
This service is part of a small cluster of marketing-content services. Blog draft preparation is the better fit when the work is producing a new editorial draft rather than refreshing an existing one. SEO page outline is the better fit when the page structure needs to change rather than just the copy; an outline-first refresh is sometimes the right sequence. Landing page copy draft is the better fit when the page is a new conversion-focused page rather than a refresh of an existing one. FAQ expansion is the better fit when the refresh is really about adding or rewriting an FAQ block rather than the page body.
FAQ
Do I need to provide the existing copy or just the URLs?
URLs are enough if the pages are public. If a page is behind authentication, share the existing copy as plain text or a document export. We work from whichever form is easier for you to send.
Will the refreshed copy keep the same URL?
Yes by default. We refresh the copy in place so existing links and any search visibility stay attached to the same URL. If you want to change the URL, we flag that as a separate decision and recommend a redirect plan rather than silent moves.
What happens to internal links during a refresh?
We review the existing internal links on each refreshed page, replace any that point to outdated targets, and suggest additions where a sister page or supporting article would help readers. You stay in control of the final link choices before publishing.
Does a refresh include new images or schema?
A standard refresh covers the text and internal links. Image refresh and schema updates can be added on request, scoped during intake. We never invent fake schema, structured data, or proof points that are not in your source materials.
Will a refresh improve rankings or traffic?
We do not promise ranking or traffic outcomes. A refresh keeps copy accurate, focused on your current offer, and consistent with the rest of your site. Whether that lifts rankings depends on many factors outside the copy itself.
