A working notebook for how I think about intent, clusters, pages, links, and topic authority.
SEO Methods
This is the simplest version of my SEO method map. It is not a textbook; it is a structure I can keep using and editing.
Start from what the searcher is trying to solve, compare, buy, confirm, or understand.
Group related terms into a topic area so the site does not become a pile of isolated posts.
Choose the right page type: product, category, guide, comparison, glossary, FAQ, or case-style explanation.
Make the page part of a larger route with internal links, anchors, supporting content, and contextual navigation.
A new site needs enough structure to move, not a perfect architecture before anything is published.
Every page should have a reason to exist: capture demand, support trust, answer objections, or connect a cluster.
Links are not decoration. They are how the site remembers which pages belong together.
A search result page tells me what format, depth, angle, and trust signals the topic currently expects.
Other pages connected to this part of the space.
This is a public layer of a personal knowledge base. It keeps changing as new projects, methods, interests, and experiments are arranged into pages.
