CONTENT AUTHORITY

Publishing random posts is not strategy. Topic clusters create authority and make ranking easier over time.

01. Pick commercial topics first

Prioritize topics linked to your services, then map supporting informational articles around them.

02. Build pillar pages

Create one strong, comprehensive page per core service and connect supporting posts to it.

03. Match search intent

Informational keywords need education. Transactional keywords need clarity, proof, and next steps.

04. Refresh old winners

Update pages already ranking in positions 5-20 with clearer structure, fresher examples, and better FAQs.

05. Measure page-level outcomes

Track rankings, engagement, and assisted conversions by URL so decisions are based on performance, not assumptions.

SEO Context

Content Strategy for Authority

Topical authority grows when related pages support each other with clear semantic relationships.

Cluster content by buyer intent and link each article back to relevant service and proof pages. This strengthens both relevance and conversion pathways.

Implementation Priorities

Update primary service and blog pages first, then roll patterns across supporting pages.

Use Search Console and analytics data to prioritize templates that impact leads fastest.

Review performance monthly and refresh copy where intent or SERP behavior changes.

Metrics Worth Tracking

Qualified lead conversion rate by landing page

Engagement depth on page sections that handle objections

Quick FAQ

How long does this strategy take to show results?

Foundational improvements often show movement within a few weeks, but durable ranking and lead quality gains typically compound over a 3-6 month window.

What should we prioritize first?

Start with high-intent service pages and technical blockers, then scale content and internal linking once conversion pathways are clear.
