- {{content_goals}}: The goals for your evergreen content (e.g., consistent traffic, lead generation).
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before starting.

Output format Provide a structured report with sections: Performance Overview, Update Recommendations, Refresh Schedule, and Promotion Ideas. Use bullet points and tables. Tone should be practical and forward-looking.
