Topical Authority
# Topical Authority Map
## Goal
Map the topic clusters and internal-link structure you'd need to build genuine topical authority in a niche — the pillar-and-cluster architecture that signals depth to search engines and AI answer engines alike.
## Best for
Planning a content architecture from scratch, or restructuring a sprawling blog into something that ranks and gets cited.
## Promptwhen to use it
Community prompt sourced from the open-source GitHub repo IntelCue/competitive-intelligence-prompts (MIT). A "Topical Authority" style prompt — adapt the placeholders and specifics to your task. Imported as-is and not independently retested here, so check the output before relying on it.
