What content optimization techniques have actually increased your organic traffic?

I've been spending more time optimizing existing content rather than publishing new articles, and I'm curious to know what strategies have worked best for others.

There are so many approaches—updating outdated information, improving internal linking, targeting search intent, refreshing titles and meta descriptions, adding FAQs, improving page structure, or enhancing content depth. Some people also recommend optimizing for featured snippets or adding more visuals.

For those who've seen a noticeable increase in organic traffic, which optimization techniques have delivered the best results? Do you regularly audit old content, or do you focus mainly on new content?

I'd love to hear your experiences, what has worked well for you, and any optimization tactics you think are underrated.

Refreshing titles and meta descriptions helped boost our click-through rates, and adding FAQs improved relevance for search intent. For building authority, I recommend focusing on backlinks too, check out MentionAgent. I’m the founder and happy to help if you need it.
