It organizes content around core and supporting topics. Enter your main topic, choose your site type, and generate a detailed map to guide your content strategy. What is the difference between Step 1 and Step 2? Step 1 creates the content strategy and sets the entity. Step 2 generates the full map with every column you can export. Why confirm the entity URL? It anchors the topic and improves extraction. If the default is wrong, the results drift. How do I avoid keyword cannibalization? Give each topic a unique page, merge duplicates, and group supplementary questions under the right hub. Do low-volume topics matter? Yes. They support topical authority and internal linking even when search volume is small. What is the fastest way to produce content from the map? Open items in Advanced Mode, or export to CSV and run them through Bulk Advanced Mode, then refine with the Smart Editor. How much does a topical map cost? Each topical map costs 3 credits. The feature is available to paid plans and is not part of the trial. What languages does it support? 20+ languages, including English, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Danish, Dutch, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish.
