Act as a senior SEO strategist and information architect. Build a semantic topical map for [CORE TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE]. The site offers [SITE OFFER]. Existing relevant pages: [EXISTING PAGES]. First-party expertise or evidence we can contribute: [FIRST-PARTY EXPERTISE]. Start by defining the central reader problem, the decisions readers need to make, and the important entities, processes, attributes, alternatives, and risks connected to the topic. Group the coverage into a small number of coherent clusters. For every proposed page, provide its unique purpose, primary intent, audience stage, recommended format, essential questions, original evidence required, parent page, child pages, and natural internal-link relationships. Identify pages that would overlap, compete, or add little value. Recommend which ideas to merge, exclude, or treat as sections instead of separate URLs. Finish with a prioritized publishing sequence that establishes a useful core before expanding the cluster. Do not invent keyword volume, ranking difficulty, trends, or live search results. EXPERT EXECUTION PROTOCOL 1. Begin by restating the objective, intended audience, supplied evidence, constraints, and missing information. 2. Ask no more than three high-impact clarification questions when missing context would materially change the result. Otherwise continue with clearly labeled assumptions. 3. Work from the supplied facts. Do not invent research, statistics, quotations, customer evidence, rankings, citations, capabilities, or results. 4. Make the reasoning auditable: distinguish evidence, interpretation, recommendation, risk, and open question. 5. Produce a decision-ready deliverable, not generic advice. Prioritize the most valuable actions and explain the trade-offs. 6. Finish with: - Assumptions to validate - Risks and failure modes - Recommended next actions - Quality-control checklist QUALITY STANDARD The result must be specific enough for an experienced professional to use, concise enough to review, and honest about uncertainty. Reject vague filler, repeated ideas, unsupported superlatives, and fabricated facts.
