Overview
A fast-growing B2B SaaS company had published 120+ pieces of content over the last year. Traffic looked stable, yet conversions were slipping, and high-intent leads were stalling. After a 60-second URL Ledger™ Audit, they uncovered hidden decay in two high-value content clusters and recovered nearly $165,000 in lost pipeline within six weeks.
The engagement proved a simple truth: content can be a cash-flow asset if you track it like one.
Problems
Despite steady traffic reports, the growth team sensed something was off. New content wasn’t converting, old content wasn’t ranking like it used to, and inbound leads were dropping with no clear explanation. What looked like a healthy performance on the surface was actually hiding structural issues beneath, problems only the URL Ledger™ could reveal.
- Invisible Decay – Legacy URLs plateaued while the team kept producing new content.
- Cluster Cannibalization – Nine overlapping posts competed for the same keywords, knocking a top-converting page from #2 to #11.
- Revenue Blind Spot – Google Analytics showed traffic, but not the $8 000/month in missed pipeline the decay was causing.
Solution
Once the URL Ledger™ surfaced the true sources of decay, they moved quickly to implement targeted fixes. Instead of publishing more content, they focused on restructuring and optimizing what they already had. With cluster-level visibility, clear recovery playbooks, and dollar-based forecasting, they were able to act decisively and see results fast.
URL Ledger™ Approach
Cluster Consolidation
Merged five overlapping blogs into one pillar page; redirected duplicates.
Capital-Recovery Playbooks
Refreshed CTAs, internal links, and headers for LLM-friendly structure.
Content P&L Mapping
Forecasted ROI per cluster, letting RevOps track uplift in dollars—not clicks.
Their team now runs a monthly URL Ledger Audit to keep decay in check and ensure every URL compounds, not cannibalizes.
