Technical Definition
A content audit systematically reviews all content on a site to assess quality, performance, and relevance. Steps: inventory all URLs, gather performance data (traffic, rankings, engagement), categorize by action (keep, update, consolidate, remove). Helps identify thin content, cannibalization, and improvement opportunities. Should be performed periodically.
Simple Explanation (ELI13)
A content audit is taking stock of everything on your website and deciding what to do with it. You look at traffic, rankings, and how good each piece is. Then you decide: is this worth keeping? Does it need updating? Should it be combined with something else? Should it be deleted? It's spring cleaning for your website.
