Build a content refresh performance report
Use the date you updated a page as the anchor, then chart performance before and after to prove whether the refresh was worth it.
Refreshing content is work. Know if it paid off.
Teams pour hours into rewriting and updating old posts, then never check whether it moved anything. Some refreshes are gold. Some are wasted effort that could have gone elsewhere.
Because the MCP knows the exact date each page changed, it can anchor a clean before and after on the refresh itself — no guessing at when after starts.
The prompt
Connect the Page Pulse MCP to Claude or ChatGPT, paste this in, and it builds the report from your live data.
Repeat across a batch of refreshed URLs to see which refreshes actually earned their keep.
Using the Page Pulse MCP, build a content refresh performance report for [page] on [your project]. 1. Find the date of the most significant recent content change on this page. 2. Compare clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position for the 60 days before that date vs. the 60 days after. 3. Tell me plainly whether the refresh helped, and pull the top queries that gained or lost to explain why.
How to run it
Anchor on the change date, then read the result.
Connect the Page Pulse MCP
Authenticate and choose the refreshed page.
Anchor on the refresh date
The MCP finds the exact date of the significant content change to use as your split point.
Compare before and after
Pull clicks, CTR, and position for the windows on either side of the refresh.
Explain it with queries
See which queries gained or lost so you know what the refresh actually changed.
What the MCP pulls
- The content change date
- Before/after clicks, CTR, position
- Query-level gains and losses
What you'll decide
- Whether to refresh more pages
- Which refresh playbook works
- Where to stop wasting effort
Before you start
- Page Pulse MCP connected
- GSC and GA4 linked
- A recently refreshed page
