Understanding first, writing second, clarity always.

Content Audits & Rewrites

Existing content is reviewed for accuracy, search intent, performance, duplication and business relevance. The audit identifies which pages to retain, update, consolidate or remove, with priority rewrites agreed before work begins.

Internal linking cleanup

Reconnecting the site logically.

Why RankSpheres

What makes this different

A content audit may identify existing pages that should be updated, consolidated or restructured before additional content is created.

Who this is for

Right fit

Sites with years of accumulated pages, overlapping or duplicate content, or a noticeable drop in a specific page's performance.

Who this isn't for

Not the right fit

A brand-new site with nothing published yet doesn't need an audit — it needs a content strategy built first, so there's something to audit later.

FAQs

Common questions

How do you decide what to cut vs. rewrite?

Based on current performance, search intent match, duplication with other pages, and business relevance — documented so the reasoning is clear, not arbitrary.

Will URLs change?

URLs change only when the agreed content or site structure requires it. Where a page moves or is consolidated, the plan includes appropriate redirects and updates to internal links. Search performance is monitored after implementation.

Will this affect my search rankings?

Short-term fluctuation is possible whenever pages change meaningfully. It's monitored after implementation and flagged if anything needs a second look.
