01Start with the market, not a tool export
We gather language from search results, first-party Search Console data, customer questions, competitor coverage and subject experts. Volume is useful context, but intent, result type, relevance and the ability to serve the need decide the priority.
- Search demand discovery
- Search result analysis
- Customer language
- Competitor topic coverage
02Cluster by meaning and result intent
Closely related phrases often belong on one strong page. Different phrases can look similar while requiring different formats. We group queries using result overlap, audience need and the job of the page, reducing both cannibalisation and unnecessary production.
- Intent clustering
- Parent topic decisions
- Page-type selection
- Cannibalisation controls
03Map demand into an operating plan
The final map identifies the target URL, primary topic, supporting entities, content status, internal links, owner and next action. It becomes a working input to architecture, briefs, optimisation and reporting, rather than a spreadsheet that expires after presentation.
- Keyword-to-URL map
- Content gap priorities
- Internal link opportunities
- Measurement segments
