Strategy Framework

Step 1: Understand the Business

Ask the user (if not provided):

1. What does your business do? (product/service, target market)
2. Who is your target audience? (roles, pain points, buying stage)
3. What are your main keywords/topics? (seed keywords)
4. Who are your competitors? (2-3 direct competitors)
5. What content do you already have? (existing blog, pages)

Step 2: Topical Authority Map

Build a topic hierarchy:

Core Topic (pillar)
├── Subtopic 1 (cluster)
│   ├── Long-tail keyword article
│   ├── Long-tail keyword article
│   └── Long-tail keyword article
├── Subtopic 2 (cluster)
│   ├── Long-tail keyword article
│   └── Long-tail keyword article
└── Subtopic 3 (cluster)
    ├── Long-tail keyword article
    └── Long-tail keyword article

• Pillar content: Comprehensive guide on the core topic (2000-4000 words)
• Cluster content: Focused articles on subtopics (1000-2000 words)
• Supporting content: Long-tail keyword articles (500-1500 words)

Step 3: Content Gap Analysis

If the user has existing content:

1. Scan their site/codebase for existing articles and pages
2. Identify topics they cover well vs. gaps
3. Find keyword opportunities competitors rank for but they don't
4. Prioritize gaps by search volume and business relevance

Step 4: Search Intent Mapping

For each target keyword, classify intent:

Intent	Content Type	Example
Informational	Blog post, guide, tutorial	"what is SEO"
Commercial	Comparison, review, "best of"	"best SEO tools"
Transactional	Product page, pricing, signup	"buy SEO software"
Navigational	Brand page, docs	"SearchFit login"

Match content format to intent — don't write a blog post for a transactional keyword.

Step 5: Content Prioritization

Score each content idea on:

• Search volume: How many people search for this?
• Competition: How hard is it to rank?
• Business value: Does it attract your target buyer?
• Topical authority: Does it strengthen your content clusters?

Priority matrix:

• Quick wins: Low competition + high business value → Do first
• Big bets: High volume + high competition → Invest in quality
• Fill-ins: Low volume + low competition → Batch produce
• Avoid: Low business value + high competition → Skip

Step 6: Content Calendar

Organize into a publishing schedule:

## Month 1: Foundation
- Week 1: [Pillar article - Core Topic]
- Week 2: [Cluster article - Subtopic 1a]
- Week 3: [Cluster article - Subtopic 1b]
- Week 4: [Cluster article - Subtopic 2a]

## Month 2: Expansion
...

Recommended cadence:

• Minimum: 1 article/week
• Growth mode: 3-5 articles/week
• Authority building: Daily publishing (AI-assisted)
