Zovovo: refreshing content with search data.

A Turkish-language publishing website I own and manage. I use search data to decide what to update, then work through the content, internal links and technical details myself.

Ongoing projectContent and SEO work is ongoing. Results below reflect the stated reporting periods.

Research, implementation and publishing

Choosing which page to improve

I compare the searches a page appears for with the questions it answers. When pages overlap, I decide which one should cover the main topic and what the others need to do differently.

Make the content more useful

Depending on the topic, updates include clearer explanations, comparisons, examples and practical next steps. I review source quality and wording, improve internal links, and check headings, structured data and mobile presentation.

ResearchUseful pageNext action

A page should connect the customer’s question to the information and next step they need.

An explanatory diagram, not a project screenshot or performance data.

AI support, personal review

I use Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and DataForSEO in my research. Site-specific instructions guide the AI-assisted drafts and publishing tasks. I review the content and changes before they go live.

What the comparison shows

Organic query clicks increased by approximately 334%, while average position improved from 30.1 to 15.0 across the two six-month reporting periods.

Visibility in Google’s AI features

The report also records visibility in Google AI Overviews and AI Mode during 18 May–1 August 2026, a separate window from the organic comparison.

An implementation example

August 2026: a content refresh

Before
Repeated sections made the page harder to use; titles and openings needed a closer match to the search queries.
Editorial decision
Consolidate repeated blocks and rewrite priority sections around the reader’s question. Review sources before accepting a draft.
Related pages
Add contextual links from relevant articles rather than repeating an identical link block everywhere.
Publishing check
Preserve useful media, flag duplicate sections and inspect the finished mobile page. This work is later than the historical growth comparison.

An edited summary from implementation records. The period comparisons above are not an experiment isolating the effect of this change.
