      Hello

      I have a blog post from 2015 that is ranking very well on Google but I have a terrible bounce rate of more than 98% for this landing page. This post is bringing 4 more visits than the rest of my website pages so I need to make people stay in the site.

      I don't want to lose my rankings so my question is:

      Is it better to modify this post or to write a new post and delete the old one?

      Thank you

        Instead to delete the post, I think is good idea to improve it

        • analyze the text with some readability tool
        • add videos, infographics, tables
        • add sections with content related of the main topic
        • add schemas to your post

        So answering you question.
        You dont need to delete it, you need to optimize your convertion rate.

        Another good advice

        • add a video tracking tool such as crazyegg or hotjar ....so you can see why your user are leaving the website.
        • add a heatmap to see where the most important areas of the page and less relevants
          -if you have the budget you can think in to create a optimization plan I always use optimizely as my main tool.

        Best Regards

          Hey there,

          Don't delete the post. Just add some CTA such as buttons to your product/service, opt-in form for email subscription, or video as suggested above.

          If you delete the post, you'd risk rankings loss which is unnecessary.

          Cheers, Martin

            Ask yourself how people are finding the page. What search terms are they using?

            It may just be that the page completely answers their question, which isn't a bad thing. I've never thought bouncing was a bad thing, pogoing is.

            Are there any resources on your site you could direct them to than expand on or are related to this page? I'd add some banners/links to that, otherwise I wouldn't worry about it too much
