Content Refresh Analysis agent
Content Refresh Analysis is an agent in Mark (Optimizely Agent Platform). It audits your website in Content Management System (SaaS). The agent finds outdated content and reviews it against compliance guidelines. It reports what needs attention to improve Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and site credibility.
Optimizely built the agent for regulated industries such as legal, compliance, and finance. Anyone can use it by providing their own guideline files.
- Challenge – Identifying which content on your website is outdated, underperforming, or no longer relevant is difficult. This leads to a stale user experience, lower search visibility, and inefficient content management.
- Agent outcome – The agent reviews your content against a set of guidelines. It produces a prioritized list of pieces that need attention. Each piece has a suggestion to refresh, update, or archive.
- Value – A fresh, high-performing website with less effort, better SEO, stronger engagement, and content that stays current.
Required Optimizely products
The Content Refresh Analysis agent requires a Content Management System (SaaS) account with content from Optimizely Graph in it.
