Tactical playbook
- Build a platform × industry × growth-stage matrix and pick 5–7 cells to own
- Audit Clutch.co, UpCity, and DesignRush SERPs to find low-defended cells
- Publish one anchor page per cell: service + case study + revenue-lift angle
- Wire each cell into a sibling cluster with 3+ internal links
- Refresh the matrix bi-annually as platforms and market needs shift
