How to Approach

1

Input Seed Keywords or Domain

Start with a broad primary keyword or your existing URL to define the core theme of your cluster.

AI Insight: The AI analyzes current SERP landscapes to identify which terms Google typically associates with your seed topic.

2

Review Semantic Groupings

The tool categorizes keywords into logical clusters based on shared search intent and linguistic patterns.

AI Insight: AI detects 'hidden' intent, ensuring informational queries are grouped separately from transactional ones to avoid ranking conflicts.

3

Identify Pillar and Support Roles

Assign the most high-volume, broad term as the pillar and more specific, long-tail terms as supporting articles.

AI Insight: The tool suggests which pages have the highest potential to act as a central hub based on keyword breadth.

4

Map Internal Links

Use the generated map to plan how supporting pages will link back to the pillar to distribute link equity.

AI Insight: Actionable recommendations highlight where internal links are missing between related subtopics.

Common Challenges

Keyword Overlap

Why This Happens

The tool flags keywords that share significant SERP results, suggesting they be targeted on a single page.

Solution

Check the cluster map before creating new briefs to ensure the subtopic is unique.

Weak Internal Link Structure

Why This Happens

Use the visual map to identify 'orphan' pages that aren't connected to a pillar.

Solution

Follow the tool's linking recommendations during the publishing phase.
