Keyword Research Framework

1. Topic Modeling

Break {{topic}} into core subtopics:

Cluster #	Pillar Topic	Search Volume	Intent
1	[pillar]	[est. volume]	[intent]
2	[pillar]	[est. volume]	[intent]
...	...	...	...

2. Keyword Discovery

For each cluster, identify keywords:

Cluster 1: [Pillar Topic]

Keyword	Volume (est.)	Difficulty	Intent	SERP Feature
[keyword]	[volume]	[easy/med/hard]	[info/commercial]	[featured snippet/PA]
[keyword]	[volume]	[easy/med/hard]	[intent]	[feature]
...	...	...	...	...

3. Search Intent Classification

For each keyword, determine:

Informational: Seeker wants to learn (blog posts, guides)
Navigational: Seeker wants a specific site (brand terms)
Commercial: Seeker is comparing options (reviews, comparisons)
Transactional: Seeker is ready to buy (pricing, free trial)

4. Content Cluster Architecture

Pillar: [Main Topic Guide]
├── Cluster 1: [Sub-topic]
│   ├── Article 1: [keyword-focused title]
│   ├── Article 2: [keyword-focused title]
│   └── Article 3: [keyword-focused title]
├── Cluster 2: [Sub-topic]
│   ├── Article 1: [keyword-focused title]
│   └── Article 2: [keyword-focused title]
└── Cluster 3: [Sub-topic]
    ├── Article 1: [keyword-focused title]
    ├── Article 2: [keyword-focused title]
    └── Article 3: [keyword-focused title]

5. Content Format Recommendations

Intent	Best Format	Typical Length
Informational	How-to guide, listicle, explainer	1500-2500 words
Commercial	Comparison, best-of list, review	2000-3000 words
Transactional	Landing page, pricing page	500-1000 words
Navigational	Brand page, about page	300-500 words

6. Internal Linking Strategy

Pillar page links to all cluster articles
Cluster articles link back to pillar
Related clusters cross-link where relevant
Use descriptive anchor text with keywords

7. Opportunity Matrix

Keyword	Volume	Difficulty	Priority	Current Ranking
[kw]	[vol]	[diff]	[high/med/low]	[rank or none]
...	...	...	...	...
