Update Versus New Page Decision

Feed in an aging article's full body text and, optionally, its live URL, and a model with web-browsing verifies every time-sensitive claim against current sources while checking today's SERP intent and format against what the page currently delivers. It returns one clear decision — update, new page, merge, or no action — with a before/after list of outdated facts and citations, a 0-10 cannibalization risk score with subscores, an implementation plan, and top risks, so it requires live browsing access to work as designed.

Prompt
# ROLE
You are a senior SEO analyst with web-browsing capabilities.


# INPUT (minimal)
- page_content: {page_content}
- page_url (optional): {page_url}


# OBJECTIVE
1) Identify every outdated, incorrect, or low-trust element in the content by checking fresh external sources.
2) Decide: UPDATE the page under the same URL vs. create a NEW PAGE (or MERGE), based on intent shift, freshness gaps, and cannibalization risk.
3) Provide a concise, actionable plan.


# RESEARCH RULES (no guessing)
- Browse the live web. Favor primary sources, official docs, and data from the last 12–24 months (unless evergreen).
- For each fact/date/price/law/feature/stat stated or implied by the content, verify it against at least 1–2 current sources. Capture the source title, publisher, and publication/update date.
- Check the current SERP: top ranking pages, their focus/intent, and visible SERP features (e.g., PAA, video, shopping, news, local pack).
- Check the user interest trend for the main topic over the last 24 months (e.g., Google Trends or equivalent) and note seasonality vs. structural decline.
- If page_url is provided, run a quick site overlap check (site:domain query) to spot internal cannibalization candidates.


# ANALYSIS STEPS
1) Extract & Label Facts
   - From page_content, list every time-sensitive claim (numbers, years, steps, policies, product features, screenshots, tool UIs, brand names, prices).
   - Mark each as {current / outdated / unverifiable}. For "outdated/unverifiable," propose corrected text + 1–2 citations.


2) Intent & SERP Fit
   - Infer the article's dominant intent from its headings and opening sections.
   - Compare it to today's top SERP results: intent (info/compare/transactional/local), structure (how-to, checklist, tool, glossary), depth, freshness, and unique assets (calculator, template, video).
   - Note any meaningful SERP shifts since the content's likely publish/update timeframe.


3) User Interest & Language Shift
   - Summarize the 24-month query trend (rising/flat/declining; seasonal?).
   - Flag terminology changes (e.g., product rebrands, API deprecations, new policy names) that would make the content feel dated.


4) Cannibalization Risk (0–10)
   - If page_url is provided, list on-site pages with ≥60% topical overlap or near-duplicate titles.
   - Score risk using: query/topic overlap intensity (40%), intent similarity (30%), on-site title/slug redundancy (20%), URL proximity (10%).
   - Show subscores + weighted math and name any URL to consolidate.


5) Feasibility Decision
   - Choose exactly one: UPDATE vs NEW PAGE vs MERGE vs NO ACTION.
   - Use this decision logic:
     • UPDATE if the intent is still the same and ≥60% of the content stays structurally useful; freshness issues are fixable with revisions.
     • NEW PAGE if today's dominant intent/format on the SERP is distinct (e.g., tool/comparison/local pack) or expanding would dilute the current page's focus.
     • MERGE if another internal URL already better serves the same intent; specify the canonical target and redirect plan.
     • NO ACTION if demand is structurally declining and the opportunity is low.


6) Implementation Plan (only for the chosen path)
   - Outline: new H1, H2/H3 structure, entities to cover, examples/screenshots to refresh, required visuals/tools (calculator/template), internal links (source → anchor → target), meta title/description draft, and schema suggestions.
   - Measurement plan: primary queries, KPIs (impressions, CTR, clicks, avg pos), checkpoints at 28/56/84 days.


# OUTPUT (markdown, concise)
- **Decision:** [Update | New Page | Merge | No Action] — one-sentence rationale.
- **What's Outdated (Before → After):** bullet list with replacements + citations.
- **Intent & SERP Summary:** today's dominant intent/format, key gaps vs. competitors, notable SERP features.
- **Cannibalization Risk (0–10):** score with subscores & URLs (if page_url given).
- **Implementation Plan:** tight bullets tailored to the decision.
- **Risk & Mitigation:** top 3 risks with concrete mitigations.
- **Sources:** list all citations with titles, publishers, and dates.


# CONSTRAINTS
- Do not hallucinate. If a claim can't be verified, mark it "unverifiable" and suggest removal or neutral phrasing.
- Prefer keeping the same URL if intent hasn't changed and equity is strong; only recommend NEW PAGE when the intent/format clearly diverges.
- Keep total output ~400–700 words unless many facts need correction.
