Breathing life into old articles is a great idea, but it needs to be done selectively. I recommend checking the Google Discover Trends tool at
https://d2tr.com/ to see which related topics are currently trending in mobile search results. If you see a surge in interest in the topic of your old publication, you can simply update the meta tags and structure. The platform does a great job of highlighting these moments, eliminating the need to manually sift through the entire archive.
