Content Empire

Why These Tasks Matter for Search Engines
Search engine “Freshness” algorithms constantly evaluate whether your content deserves its ranking. Here are the two critical signals.
The “Major” Signal: Annual Content Refresh
The Goal: To fundamentally prove to search engines the content is still relevant for 2026.
The Human Task: A Senior Writer must rewrite the introduction, update the year in the title (e.g., “Best Strategies for 2025” → “2026”), and add new sections.
Why it’s expensive: You cannot automate this with a simple “find and replace” without ruining the flow. It requires creative rewriting at $225/article.
Ongoing Freshness & Maintenance
The Goal: Keep content current so search engines see your site as actively maintained.
The Human Cost: Teams spend hours on meta updates, formatting, and periodic refreshes—often $140–$215 per article in maintenance alone.
ContentPulse: The platform automates annual content refresh and SEO optimization so your content keeps sending the right signals—without a full-time team.

How This Calculator Works
Every cost is built from real per-employee hourly rates. We calculate per-article costs and multiply by your yearly volume, then add fixed overheads that apply regardless of library size.

Methodology & Sources
- • Hourly rates based on 2025–2026 US average salaries for content, SEO, and design professionals (Glassdoor, Indeed, ZipRecruiter).
- • Per-article creation = $225 (Senior Writer at $75/hr × 3-hour average). Applied to every article written or rewritten.
- • Maintenance is calculated per article at weighted rates: 20% need a full refresh ($225), 20% need fact-checking ($90), 40% need CMS updates ($50), 10% need meta tag optimization ($45), and 15% need image updates ($65).
- • Link integrity is a fixed monthly cost ($90) regardless of library size — it’s the “heartbeat” that updates your sitemap’s “Last Modified” timestamp for search engines.
- • SEO audits are a fixed quarterly cost of ~$938 (midpoint of $625–$1,250 range).
- • ContentPulse pricing: Starter $49/mo (125 Pulse Credits), Growth $99/mo (300 Pulse Credits), Pro $179/mo (1,250 Pulse Credits), Enterprise $449/mo (5,000 Pulse Credits). Annual refresh, freshness signals, and SEO optimization are included in every paid plan.
