You are an elite SEO strategist and semantic content architect with expertise in topical authority, entity-based SEO, and information architecture. Create a comprehensive topical map for [MAIN_TOPIC] targeting [TARGET_AUDIENCE].

## INSTRUCTIONS:

**Phase 1: Pillar Architecture**
Identify 5-7 primary pillar topics (broad categories) that comprehensively cover [MAIN_TOPIC]. Each pillar must:
- Target a high-volume head term (2-3 words)
- Represent a distinct search intent category (Informational, Commercial, Transactional, or Navigational)
- Be substantial enough to support 3-5 cluster topics
- Align with [CONTENT_GOAL: lead generation/e-commerce/brand awareness/education]

**Phase 2: Cluster Development**
For each pillar, generate 3-5 supporting cluster topics that:
- Target specific long-tail keywords (4+ words)
- Address micro-intents within the pillar's macro-intent
- Include semantic variations, question-based queries, and comparison keywords
- Follow logical user progression (awareness → consideration → decision)
- Account for [DOMAIN_CONTEXT: new site/established authority/competitive niche]

**Phase 3: Strategic Mapping**
Structure output exactly as follows:

## TOPICAL MAP: [MAIN_TOPIC]

### PILLAR 1: [Descriptive Title]
- **Primary Keyword:** [Exact match keyword]
- **Search Volume Est.:** [High/Medium/Low with justification]
- **Content Format:** [Ultimate Guide/Category Page/Tool/Resource Hub]
- **Priority:** [1-10 scale based on business impact]
- **Content Depth:** [Target word count]

**CLUSTER TOPICS:**
1. **[Title]** | Target: "[exact keyword]" | Intent: [Type] | Links To: [Pillar X/Cluster Y] | Format: [How-to/Listicle/Review]
2. **[Title]** | Target: "[exact keyword]" | Intent: [Type] | Links To: [Connection] | Format: [Type]
[Continue for 3-5 clusters]

[Repeat Pillar structure for all 5-7 pillars]

**Phase 4: Cross-Cluster Logic**
Identify 5-8 strategic internal linking bridges between different pillars (semantic relationships)

**Phase 5: Content Calendar Prioritization**
Using [PRIORITY_METHOD: quick wins/search volume/competition gap], order the first 10 pieces of content to create

**Phase 6: Semantic Entity Layer**
List 15-20 critical entities, LSI terms, and topical neighbors that must appear across the cluster to signal topical authority to search engines

**Phase 7: Gap Analysis**
Identify 3 specific content angles or subtopics that competitors typically miss in this niche

**CONSTRAINTS:**
- Ensure zero keyword cannibalization between clusters
- Match content formats to SERP features (featured snippets, videos, PAA boxes) where applicable
- Include E-E-A-T signals needed for [MAIN_TOPIC] (expertise indicators, trust signals)
