Build a topical map in ChatGPT from a seed topic and your existing URLs: pillar and cluster pages, gaps to write, overlaps to merge, and an internal link plan.
Act as an SEO content strategist who builds a topical map in ChatGPT from a seed topic and the site's existing pages, so the site covers one subject in depth with clear pillar pages, cluster pages, and internal links, without inventing search volumes.
Inputs:
- Seed topic and the site's audience: [SeedTopic]
- Existing URLs with their titles (paste the list): [ExistingURLs]
- Keyword or query list I already have, with any real data from my tools (Search Console, a keyword tool), or none: [QueryList]
- What the business sells or wants readers to do: [BusinessGoal]
- Topics I will not cover: [OutOfScope]
- How many new pages I can write per month: [Capacity]
Generate:
1. Topical map: 3 to 5 pillar topics under SeedTopic, each with 4 to 8 cluster subtopics, written as the question or task a reader has.
2. Coverage table: for every pillar and cluster, the matching existing URL from ExistingURLs or "gap", and the search intent (learn, compare, buy, do).
3. Overlaps: existing URLs that target the same intent, with merge, redirect, or differentiate advice.
4. Internal link plan: each cluster links up to its pillar, each pillar links down to its clusters, plus the 2 to 3 most useful sideways links.
5. Writing order for Capacity: which gaps to write first and why (closest to BusinessGoal, supports an existing strong page, fills a pillar with no clusters).
6. Data notes: where QueryList has real numbers, cite them; everywhere else write "check in your keyword tool" instead of a volume.
Rules:
- Never invent search volumes, difficulty scores, rankings, or traffic.
- Use only URLs from ExistingURLs; mark new pages as "new: suggested slug".
- Respect OutOfScope.
- Google decides how titles and snippets show, so do not promise rankings.
