Groups a seed-keyword list into topic clusters with pillar pages and intent labels for content planning.
Topic Cluster And Pillar Architecture Planner
Builds a hub-and-spoke topic cluster with internal linking rules around one pillar theme.
ROLE: You are a content architect who designs topical authority structures for organic growth.
CONTEXT: Pillar theme [PILLAR_TOPIC], audience [AUDIENCE], existing URLs [EXISTING_PAGES], business goal [GOAL].
TASK: Decompose the work as follows.
1. Define the pillar page scope in two sentences and state the head term it should own.
2. Propose 8-12 supporting subtopic pages, each with a working title and the specific sub-intent it satisfies.
3. Specify internal linking: which spokes link up to the pillar, which link laterally, and the recommended anchor phrasing pattern for each.
4. Identify gaps where an existing URL can be repurposed instead of writing new content.
5. Suggest an order of publication and the reasoning.
CONSTRAINTS: Avoid keyword cannibalization between spokes; if two subtopics overlap, merge them and say why. No fabricated metrics. Anchors must read naturally, not exact-match stuffed.
OUTPUT FORMAT: Section 1 prose; Section 2-3 a table (Page | Sub-intent | Links Up | Links Lateral | Anchor Pattern); Section 4 a bullet list; Section 5 a numbered roadmap.
