📉 Content Decay Detector for Instagram

Find which of your older videos are actually declining, not just plateauing, by comparing each one's trend against its topic's real search demand — then get a fixable-or-not verdict and the specific refresh to make before the decay drags down the rest of your channel.

What you get

Every video in your library ranked by decay rate, with each one labeled fixable (title, thumbnail, or description refresh) or unfixable (topic superseded — link it forward instead), a prioritised list of the ten highest-value videos to refresh first, the specific metadata and thumbnail updates for each, a re-promotion plan for high-value decaying content, and an estimated traffic recovery if the fixes are applied.

Input: Describe your older videos to detect content decay

How it works

  1. Describe your video — Describe your older videos to detect content decay
  2. Run the analysis — Click Analyse. The report streams in live, usually within 10 seconds.
  3. Work the action list — Read the headline scores, then fix the top item in the prioritised action list. Re-run to compare.

Guide: how to use Content Decay Detector

Old videos do not just stop growing; they can decline in ways that pull down the channel — outdated titles that no longer match search, thumbnails that look dated next to newer competitors, information that is simply wrong now. The Content Decay Detector ranks your library by decay rate, separates fixable decline from natural end-of-life, recommends metadata updates for the fixable ones, plans re-promotion for high-value decaying videos, and estimates the traffic you get back.
