01 · DIAGNOSTICWe look at what ranks before touching the site.
Technical audit: Core Web Vitals, indexation, schema, domain authority, sitemaps. Semantic audit: intent coverage, quality of existing pages, cannibalization. Competitive audit: who occupies page one on your target keywords, with which cluster, which external signals. By the end: a quantified map of what's blocking you. Not a blind overhaul.
02 · INTENTOne query, one intent, one page.
We list the buyer's search intents (informational, transactional, navigational). For each: volume, difficulty, real intent behind the keyword, target page. Not a raw KW list. A map of intents prioritized by business weight. That's what decides where we write, not an obsession with the head-on competitive keyword.
03 · ARCHITECTUREOne subject, one cluster. A pillar, satellites linking back to it.
For each major topic, we build a cluster: one pillar page covering the topic in depth, 8 to 15 satellite pages handling specific subtopics, internal linking that lifts authority toward the pillar. Internal linking accounts for 40 % of the SEO performance we see. Not content alone.
04 · TECHNICAL SEOA fast, indexable, semantically clear site.
Core Web Vitals (LCP under 2.5 s, CLS under 0.1, INP under 200 ms), structured schema per page (Article, Product, Organization), silo architecture, clean sitemap, controlled indexation. If Google takes 4 seconds to load your site, the world's best content won't lift it to page one. The foundation goes down now.
05 · CONTENTStrict brief. AI assist. Human QA.
For each page: 40 % of time on the brief (intent, structure, sources), 30 % on Claude-assisted generation, 30 % on human editing. Your subject-matter experts review technical details in 30 minutes per article, not 3 hours. Not 50 articles per month. Four, structured in a cluster, with a clear intent.
06 · LINKING & MEASUREMENTInterlinking continuously. Positions weekly.
Internal linking updated with every new page (toward the pillars, toward the relevant satellites). Search Console + position tracking tool (Semrush or Ahrefs) to follow the queries climbing. Not a cosmetic monthly report. A weekly read that drives the next content arbitrage.
07 · OWNERSHIPYou pilot SEO without asking us.
Full documentation: topical plan, brief templates, lexical charter, Search Console access, technical runbook. Your team or your next provider can take over without a forensic audit. We stay on backup as long as you need it. We leave the moment you don't.
