Content & Authority Strategy

Ranking for competitive terms without topical authority is almost impossible. Google's ability to identify whether a site genuinely covers a subject -- versus having a few pages on it -- has become sophisticated enough that subject matter depth is now a significant ranking factor. This service builds the architecture and plan that establishes that authority systematically.

What the strategy covers

We map the full topical territory of your market, identify the hub-and-spoke content architecture that will build the strongest authority signals, write detailed briefs for each target page so production can begin immediately, define the internal linking model that distributes authority correctly, and sequence everything into an editorial calendar that builds topical depth in the right order.

What is included

• Topic cluster map for your full subject territory
• Hub page identification and pillar content specification
• 12 full content briefs (title, outline, word count, target keyword, intent, links in/out, CTA)
• Internal linking architecture document
• Competitor topical coverage gap analysis
• 9-month editorial calendar sequenced by authority build logic
• Guidance on existing content to update vs. consolidate vs. remove
