Illustrative example, not live customer data. No change is published from this example.
The situation
An existing chain-care guide partly answers a popular question. Improve that guide before creating a competing article.
Decision to review
REFRESH_EXISTING
A reviewable page brief or content brief, then draft, review, approved publication and public verification.
What is checked
1Existing: /guides/chain-care/
2Coverage gap: chain replacement
3New URL: not justified
Where the safety boundary is
SEOAVA does not sell article volume as the product. New content is held back when an existing page already covers the intent.
The customer problem
Content teams easily create another article when the better move is to strengthen an existing page. That fragments authority and creates competing URLs.
What SEOAVA does
SEOAVA checks the existing page inventory first. A relevant page becomes REFRESH_EXISTING. CREATE_NEW is reserved for a genuine gap, then moves through brief, draft, review, publish and verification.
Evidence & sources
Search evidence, existing-page ownership, verified business facts, target URL and the reason a gap is genuine.
Recommended action
A reviewable page brief or content brief, then draft, review, approved publication and public verification.
Execution & verification
Approved → Applied → Checking → Verified
Supported execution is approval-led. Applied means the CMS accepted the write. Verified requires a successful public check.
