Phase 2: Topical Map & Contextual Vectors
- Build Koray-style topical map: not just keyword clusters, but semantic topic hierarchies with entity relationships
- Define contextual vectors for each topic: the directional semantic associations Google uses to evaluate relevance
- Map vector intersections: where do multiple contextual vectors converge? Those are authority signals
- Identify topic gaps: areas where the site has zero semantic coverage but competitors do
- Build: core section + outer section + supplementary nodes
- Prioritize: which topics build the fastest path to topical authority?
