After a while, you forget what’s down there and it’s so crammed with stuff you can’t find anything.

When it comes to your website, the content glut can make it hard for visitors to find what they’re looking for and accomplish what they set out to do. If your website has become bloated and is beginning to feel unmanageable, it may be time to do a content audit.

Whether you find pages that are low-performing and need to be optimized, or high-performing pages that reveal new opportunities, a content audit provides valuable insights.

A thorough content audit gives you direction for your content strategy — and you might just discover hidden gold nuggets when you dig into the data. Read our interview with Dietz to learn what you gain from a content audit of your website.
