What's the difference between this and Topical Authority Gap Analyzer?

Content Silo Planner builds silos from URL structure (folder structure), while Topical Authority Gap Analyzer uses AI to classify pages by content topic. Use both for a complete picture.

What if the website has a flat URL structure?

The tool will show all pages under one or few silos. This is an important insight in itself — it suggests the URL structure should be reorganized for better silo effect.

Does the competitor need to have a sitemap?

Yes, the comparison feature requires both domains to have accessible sitemaps. Without a competitor, you can still see your own silo structure.

What do the priority levels mean?

Critical = large silo with low coverage vs. competitor. High = important silo with improvement potential. Medium = moderate gap. Low = good coverage already.

Can I use this for e-commerce sites?

Yes, the tool works for all types of websites with sitemaps — blogs, e-commerce, SaaS sites and corporate sites.

Content Silo Planner

What it does

Builds a silo tree directly from URL structure in the sitemap, compares against a competitor, and uses AI to prioritize which silos you should strengthen first.

You have no overview of the actual silo structure on your website

Most websites grow organically without deliberate silo planning. The result is a flat structure where search engines don't understand the connections between pages, and topical authority is poorly distributed.

URL structure has grown organically without deliberate silo architecture
No visual overview of how content is organized in hierarchies
Impossible to compare your structure against the competitor's without automation
Don't know which silos need more articles to build authority

Automatic silo visualization with competitor comparison and AI prioritization

Content Silo Planner builds the silo tree directly from URL hierarchy in the sitemap. You see exactly how your website is structured, how it compares with the competitor, and which silos AI recommends you prioritize.

Why use Content Silo Planner?

Search engines use URL structure as a strong signal to understand topical relationships. A website with clear silos (/seo/technical-seo, /seo/content-seo) sends clear signals about topical authority, while a flat structure (/article-1, /article-2) does not.

Content Silo Planner shows you the actual structure as search engines see it — not as you think it is. Many discover their URL hierarchy is flatter than expected, with content spread without structure.

Use the tool together with Internal Link Auditor to ensure silos are also linked internally. Good silos without internal link structure provide limited effect.
