Build a finite content library
Content planning is about deciding which distinct answers deserve URLs and how readers move between them. Clustering groups equivalent queries; mapping assigns them to pages; cannibalization review finds overlap after publication. A coherent hub can connect related tasks without forcing every phrase into a separate article.
Begin with clustering and mapping if you have a keyword export. Use topical authority and content planning when deciding what belongs in your site's scope. Consult the cannibalization guide before merging or redirecting existing pages.
