Tips & Best Practices

1. Plan at the cluster level not one-off posts: define topics you want to own in search based on products and pain points
2. Use Content Plans to get recommended number of new vs update pieces with effort vs reward analysis
3. In Topics Inventory find where you have authority or momentum; in Pages Inventory find thin or outdated pages to update
4. Allocate 40-60% of monthly work to updating content surfaced in plan recommendations for fastest impact
5. Generate Content Briefs with target keyword, related terms, questions, and suggested word count structure
6. Aim to improve content score relative to top SERP competitors as leading indicator of topical completeness
7. Choose 3-5 hero clusters per quarter where you have or can gain topical authority and focus production there
