Things to consider

  • AI overviews and answer engines have changed what organic traffic is worth. Prioritise topics where the searcher needs to reach your site to act — availability, price, fit, local stock — over general informational content that an answer engine will summarise away.

  • Your own site search logs and customer service contact reasons are better topic sources than keyword tools, because they reflect what your customers actually want to know.

  • Publishing volume without quality now carries a ranking penalty rather than a benefit. Plan for fewer, better pages with genuine first-hand information.

  • Experiment starter: Build a plan for one category, publish ten pages against the identified gaps, and measure non-brand organic sessions and assisted conversions for that category over the following quarter against a comparable category left unchanged.
