I'll walk you through the process that Corporate Finance Institute used to audit, restructure, and significantly prune an aging resource library of more than 6,000 URLs, and how I used the project as an opportunity to educate and earn buy-in from internal teams. This is a repeatable strategy with practical takeaways for SEOs as well as content marketers, developers, writers, and marketing executives with resources to allocate.
