Quick Answer
For search, voice, and "just tell me what to do".
Audit your archive, choose high-potential pieces, then use AI to refresh, expand, and repackage them into new formats and angles for new audiences.
Key Takeaways:
- Old content is raw material-AI helps you refine it.
- Update for intent, not just freshness.
- Republish with a new angle and a better CTA.
- Create 'topic kits' so updates compound over time.
Playbook
List your last 50–100 posts/emails; pick 10 with strongest signal or relevance.
Ask AI to extract: core thesis, key steps, missing examples, better hooks.
Rewrite: intro, headings, and CTA for today's offer and audience.
Create derivatives: shorts, posts, email sequence, FAQ, landing copy.
Republish and measure; schedule a quarterly refresh cycle.
Common Pitfalls
- Refreshing without improving clarity or proof.
- Keeping the same CTA even when your offer evolved.
- Ignoring search intent shifts (what people actually ask now).

FAQ
What content is best to repurpose?
Pieces tied to evergreen problems (objections, frameworks, how-to guides) and anything that historically earned replies, saves, or conversions.
How do I make old content feel new?
Change the angle (new hook), add current examples, and tighten the steps. 'New' is usually framing + proof + CTA alignment.
Will republishing hurt SEO?
Not if you improve the content and keep the same canonical URL. It often helps because you're making the page more useful and current.
