Great question, Terri! In the next post in this series, we’ll be focusing on how to identify which posts you should republish, so stay tuned for that. It’ll be on the blog tomorrow!

As a general rule of thumb, we don’t recommend updating any posts that are doing really well (especially if they’re ranking higher than position 4 on Google). Since that piece of content is already ranking well, you’re doing something right, and it’s entirely possible that you could update and republish that post post and see a decrease in search position. Instead, you can use that piece of content to see what makes it so valuable for that keyword and try to replicate it on some of those better candidates for updates and republishing.

I hope that helps!

Hi, Cindy!

When republishing a post, you’d typically want to leave the name of the recipe and the URL the same while updating some of the internal content (like the copy, pictures, etc.). If you’d like, you could then change the published date of the post to move it to the front of the blog. Depending on your theme, there are some settings you can enable (or some code you can add) to show both the original published date and the modified date. We’ll chat more about this in the next few blog posts!

In addition, we’ll go over what posts you should consider republishing, as well as what exactly to update, in the next few posts in this series. Those posts will be coming this week and next, so stay tuned!

If my post has had some hits since publication and is ranking for keywords I don’t want to republish and lose that “google juice”! So I’ve been doing major updates, converting to blocks and submitting it to the search console to be recrawled. What would warrant republishing? And would I lose that google juice? I usually only republish if it has new photos in addition to an update and only a handful of hits.

This is something I’ve been confused about. Can you be more specific as to what to do to repost, (for some of us who need extra help)? Do I leave the name of the recipe the same, followed by a date? Do we post the original post date on the post? How do I pin it to the front of my blog? I’ve been wanting to know this for a long time. Help please!!

Good question, Cheryl! We mean updating an existing post and then adjusting the date on it to republish it to the front of the blog. You wouldn’t want to create an entirely new post from scratch.

We’ll go over what posts you should consider republishing, as well as what exactly to update, in the next few posts in this series. Stay tuned!

Just curious, when you say republish do you mean to update an existing post or republishing it as a totally new post with a new date? Should you then remove the old post or leave them both up? Thanks!
