Executive Summary

Many content teams are losing organic traffic as blog posts decay over time, and manual audits are slow and imprecise—this pain point affects marketing teams at mid-market and enterprise companies as well as agencies managing large portfolios of content-driven sites. With roughly 5,000,000 content-driven websites at stake, teams are wasting time chasing symptoms rather than prioritizing the posts that will recover the most traffic. You could build a SaaS that continuously detects decaying posts by combining signals from Google Search Console, analytics, rankings, links and engagement, then scores and ranks pages by estimated ROI while pushing AI-assisted micro-rewrites and CMS tasks to reduce human time-per-fix. The product would include integrations for CMS and project trackers, automated A/B testing hooks, and dashboarded ROI estimates to help justify fixes. The market is attractive now because content strategy is shifting from volume to maintenance, marketing budgets favor measurable ROI, and AI diagnostics make automated suggestions feasible—this is a $3.0B addressable market (5M sites × $600 ACV), with a market score of 88 and revenue potential of 86. Competition is medium: many tools analyze content or generate new posts, but few proactively prioritize decays with ROI-first workflows. You can stand out by delivering high-precision decay detection and prioritized ROI estimates combined with tight CMS/GSC integrations and automated micro-rewrites that demonstrably recover traffic, but success requires solving data-access and accuracy challenges to avoid false positives and a focused go-to-market (start with agencies and mid-market e-commerce/tech publishers) to prove quick wins.
