Planner

From a keyword to a complete authority architecture.

The Planner is where strategy becomes structure. Keywords enter, clusters form, and a plan for every page the site should build comes out the other side — directly into the production pipeline.

Keyword intake

Keywords enter through four paths.

However they arrive, they land in one map.

Add manually

Enter target keywords directly when you already know the terms.

Import from CSV

Bring an existing keyword list in bulk.

SAG keyword library

Draw from pre-built keyword sets for hundreds of niches.

Discovered during analysis

The system surfaces keywords while it reads your site at onboarding.

Clustering

Clusters can be built four ways.

Each cluster is scored on volume, difficulty, intent classification, and realistic ranking probability.

Auto-cluster

Generated from the existing keyword map by semantic relationship.

SAG cluster library

Battle-tested cluster blueprints applied to your sector.

Manual creation

Build a cluster by hand when you know the structure you want.

AI-discovered

Clusters proposed while the system analyses your existing content.

Cluster scoring

Every cluster is scored before it enters the plan.

Scoring is what separates a keyword group from a ranking opportunity.

Score dimensions
DimensionWhat it measures
VolumeSearch demand for the cluster
DifficultyHow hard the cluster is to rank for
IntentInformational, commercial, or transactional
Ranking probabilityRealistic potential for your site specifically
What the score decides
  • Which clusters to build firstPriority
  • How much production each cluster needsScope
  • Where the realistic wins areOpportunity
Input

A keyword map

Keywords clustered by semantic relationship, intent, business value, and difficulty.

  • Clustered by semantic relationship
  • Classified by search intent
  • Weighted by business value
  • Scored for difficulty
Output

An authority architecture

A plan for every page, product, service, and taxonomy term the site should build to own its niche.

Pages to buildPost
Service and informational pagesPage
Product pages scoped to clustersProduct
Taxonomy term pagesTaxonomy
Content opportunities

Specific, not vague — and they flow straight into production.

What the Planner corrects

Where keyword planning usually goes wrong.

A list of keywords is not a strategy. A scored, clustered architecture is.

Anti-patternWhy it failsThe Planner approach
A flat keyword listNo structure, no priority, no relationship between termsClustered by semantic relationship and scored
Targeting by volume aloneHigh-volume terms the site cannot realistically rank forScored by realistic ranking probability for your site
Briefs written page by pageSlow, inconsistent, disconnected from the meshContent opportunities generated against the cluster plan
Strategy living in a documentNever connects to what actually gets producedOpportunities flow directly into the production pipeline
From keyword to plan

How the Planner runs.

Four steps, one continuous path from raw input to production-ready opportunities.

  1. 01
    Intake
    Keywords enter manually, by CSV, from the library, or by discovery.
  2. 02
    Cluster
    Keywords grouped by relationship, intent, value, and difficulty.
  3. 03
    Score
    Each cluster scored for realistic ranking probability.
  4. 04
    Generate opportunities
    Specific topics and angles flow into the production pipeline.

Turn a keyword list into an architecture.

Connect a URL and the Planner maps the clusters your site should own.
