## Content Refreshes

> Separate section — tackle after new pages are built.

### Priority 1: Cannibalization Fixes

| Issue | Pages | Combined Imps | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Email format (duplicate posts) | `/blog/format-of-email-address` (pos 11) + `/blog/format-of-an-email-address` (pos 16) | 122,049 | Merge into one canonical post, 301 the other |
| Email list cleaning (4 pages splitting queries) | `/blog/email-list-cleaning-services`, `/blog/email-list-cleaning-tools`, `/blog/best-email-list-cleaning-service`, `/use-cases/email-list-cleaning` | ~12,000 | Pick one winner, redirect the rest |
| Email exists (2 posts) | `/blog/email-address-exists-check` + `/blog/check-if-email-exists` | ~1,200 | Merge |

| Page | Imps | CTR | Position | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| `/blog/email-subject-line-best-practices` | 37,397 | 0.07% | 10.1 | Title refresh — 37K imps, 25 clicks |

| `/blog/best-email-validation-tool` | 11,175 | 0.05% | 12.6 | Title/meta rewrite |

### Priority 3: Full Content Overhauls

| Page | Imps | Position | Issue |
|---|---|---|---|
| `/tools/free-email-checker` | 11,275 | 78 | Ranking for "email checker" (30K vol) at pos 80 — needs full rewrite |
| `/tools/spf-record-checker` | — | 68 | Big keyword, deep ranking — needs content overhaul |
| `/blog/check-if-email-address-is-valid` | 15,918 | 32.6 | Stuck on page 3, 20 keywords, 1 ref domain |
| `/tools/free-email-verifier` | 14,139 | 42.6 | High impressions, deep position |
