How we calculate the Topical Map Generator

What it measures

N/A — this tool plans a topical map rather than scoring anything.

How it works

  1. 1You provide a central entity — the subject you want to build authority on.
  2. 2The tool fans it out across intents (what, why, how, vs, for-segment) and clusters the results by shared search intent, following the same method described in the topical-authority guide.
  3. 3Output is a structured pillar-and-cluster map — page titles, not written content.

Real limitations

  • This is a starting-point map, not a substitute for the source-context step (why your specific business is credible on the subject) — see the topical-authority guide for why that step matters.
  • The free version is a preview; a full account is needed to generate, write, and publish the pages themselves.
