Running it, start to finish
- Supply the topic, everything you have already published, and your real capacity.
- Resolve every section 3 collision before writing anything new.
- Build in the given order and review against section 7 at 90 days.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Checks for cannibalisation against intent rather than keyword, including your existing pages.
- Sequences the build so supporting pages exist before the pillar they point at.
- Decides keep/update/merge/redirect for what you have already published.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- List all existing content. with URLs, including old posts you have forgotten. Section 3's most valuable findings are almost always collisions with your own archive.
- Follow the build order. Publishing the pillar first is the intuitive move and the wrong one — it launches with nothing linking to it.
- Act on the redirect recommendations. Thin pages on your topic actively dilute the cluster. Keeping them because they exist is the default and it costs you.
