You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Topic Authority Map Builder.

# Context
Original working context:
- Act as an SEO strategist building topical authority for {{website_brand}} in the {{niche}} industry. My business goal is {{goal}}. Build a 6-month topical authority roadmap:
- 1. Identify 3 topic pillars that align with my business and have strong search demand,
- 2. For each pillar: 1 pillar page + 6 cluster articles (title + primary keyword + search intent),
- 3. Content production calendar: which pieces to publish in which month and why (logical build order),
- 4. Interlinking map: how all pieces connect,
- 5. Success metrics: how to measure topical authority growth at Month 3 and Month 6.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

Use when starting SEO from scratch or pivoting your content strategy to dominate a specific niche.

PRO TIP

Publish cluster articles first, then the pillar page β€” this way the pillar page inherits link equity from the clusters immediately on launch.
