The refresh loop

Pages stay competitive after they ship. Vergrank flags slipping pages, you approve a refresh, and the engine rewrites and re-checks.

Publishing a page is the start, not the finish. Rankings move, and content goes stale. The refresh loop is how Vergrank keeps pages competitive after they go live, without you watching them.

How pages get flagged

A page lands in the Updates queue one of two ways. The weekly cron watches rank trends and flags pages that are slipping or underperforming. You can also request a rewrite yourself from any page. Either way, it shows up here with the reason attached.

Approve or dismiss

Each flagged page gives you a choice. Approve it, and the engine runs the refresh: it rewrites the page, re-runs the quality checks, and ships the updated version. Dismiss it, and the item clears without any action.

When the queue is empty, there is nothing to do, every page is current. The loop keeps running on its own schedule, so you only step in when you want to.
