What this prompt does

Separates the real causes of a traffic drop, declining search demand, a SERP feature stealing the click, a competitor edging in, self-cannibalization from a newer internal page, or a bad edit, using the actual shape of the decline rather than a generic "content needs refreshing" reflex.

Built for anyone watching a page's traffic graph slide and reaching for a rewrite before checking why. You walk away with the named cause of the decay and the one action that matches it.
