Content Velocity
Content velocity is how quickly a business can create and publish content. Adobe described it in 2020 as the ability to create, manage and publish digital content to the right people as quickly as possible. In Adobe Analytics, the same name means a metric for how much a page adds to the time people spend on a site.

What Content Velocity means for your business
Google's spam policies call making many pages mainly to game rankings scaled content abuse, however they're made; our entry on that covers what Google says. If someone shows you a content velocity number from Adobe Analytics, it measures how much a page leads people on to view more pages during a visit, and says nothing about how fast you publish.
We'd rather see one page that settles a question your buyers really ask than a steady stream of posts nobody needed. Where pace does matter to us is upkeep: changing a page soon after a price, a service or a policy changes.
If you've been told to publish more and it hasn't brought in more work, pages built around what your buyers ask are where we'd put the effort.
