Refresh Mode

Refresh Mode detects content that is losing performance and helps you update it to recover traffic.

Info

Refresh Mode requires a Google Search Console connection.

How decay detection works

RankerBase compares your Search Console metrics across 28-day rolling windows. Content is flagged for refresh when any of these conditions are met:

Signal What it means
CTR drop Significant decline in click-through rate
Position drop Average position drops by 3 or more positions
Clicks drop Clicks decline by 40% or more

Decay detection runs automatically on a weekly schedule, or you can trigger it manually from the site settings page.

Refresh pipeline

  1. Detect — Decay detection creates refresh tasks with the decay reason
  2. Generate brief — AI generates a refresh brief analyzing what needs to change
  3. Review — You review and approve the refresh plan
  4. Execute — Updated content is pushed to the publishing platform
  5. Monitor — Performance is tracked post-refresh

Refresh queue

The refresh queue page shows all refresh tasks with:

  • Content title and URL
  • Decay reason (CTR drop, position drop, clicks drop)
  • Current status (pending, briefed, approved, pushed)
  • Inline actions for each task

Supports status filters and bulk operations for managing large refresh queues.

Plan restrictions

Refresh Mode is available on Growth and Agency plans.
