SEO Writer for WordPress
Lets approved SEO title, description, canonical and noindex changes land in the SEO plugin you already use.
Find the Posts That Used to Bring Traffic
Most SEO plugins tell you what a page looks like today. Few tell you which pages used to bring traffic and no longer do. That is content decay, and refreshing a page that already ranked is far faster than writing a new one. This plugin lists your decaying posts, biggest drop first, each matched to its editor.
- Last 28 days of clicks against the 28 before, per page
- Each decaying URL matched to its WordPress editor
- Read-only connection, never handles your Google credentials
SEOmatic Content Decay Monitor
About the Plugin
A decay report for WordPress. Decay can only be seen in your Search Console data, which a plugin cannot read on its own, so it connects read-only to SEOmatic, which reads the Search Console property you connected there.
Supported Content
- Search Console Clicks
- Lost Queries
- Posts & Pages
Pricing
The plugin is free and needs a free SEOmatic account with Search Console connected. On paid plans, agents refresh a decaying post as a draft you approve. See pricing.
Requirements
WordPress 5.6 or later and PHP 7.4 or later. A free SEOmatic account with Google Search Console connected.
Download
Coming soon to the WordPress.org plugin directory, free. This page will link to the listing as soon as it is live.
SEOmatic Content Decay Monitor Integration with SEOmatic
How SEOmatic Content Decay Monitor Works
Open Dashboard > Content Decay, press Connect a free account, and connect Google Search Console in SEOmatic if you have not already. The plugin compares each page's last 28 days of clicks against the 28 before and lists the decaying ones, worst drop first. When shown, it also lists the queries a page is losing.
The plugin never handles your Google credentials. It sends only its API key and your site address to authenticate, and no page content or visitor data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a SEOmatic account?
Yes, a free one. Decay is measured from Google Search Console, which SEOmatic reads on your behalf after you connect it there, read-only.
Does it change my posts?
No. This plugin only reads and reports. Fixing a decaying post is something you do in the editor, or that SEOmatic's paid agents can draft for your approval.
