I am publishing once this month and rewriting an old page

The calendar of new posts was a way to feel diligent. The old page has the impressions. It deserves the hour.

I am not convinced "The old page has the impressions" is the constraint yet. The people who saw it may have been the wrong room.

One change, then stop. Address "The calendar of new posts was a way to feel diligent" and leave the rest of the product alone for a week.

One page ranks and the signup rate is awful
A comparison page is on the first page for a modest query. It gets a few dozen visits a week. Almost nobody starts a trial from it. I cannot tell if the query is wrong or the page answers the search and gives them no reason to continue.

Six months of writing and the graph is still nearly flat
I published two articles a month, fixed titles, and added internal links. Search Console shows impressions on a handful of posts. I am trying to decide whether to keep the cadence or go deeper on four pages.

Does a developer tool homepage ever rank, or only the docs?
The homepage is pretty and invisible. A single docs page gets the impressions. I am wondering if I should stop expecting the homepage to do a search job.

I generated forty pages and I think I should delete them
They were thin, they target real queries, and they have not earned a visit. I am attached because the generator took a weekend. That is a poor reason to keep them.
