Short answer
A content audit is a systematic review of a site's content inventory to decide what to keep, update, consolidate or remove. Auditors typically catalog every page with data on traffic, rankings, links and conversions. The findings guide content refreshes and pruning, improve overall site quality and reveal gaps worth filling with new content.
