Use this as the rule for long-tail page design.
High-specificity queries need high-specificity pages with explicit evidence paths, not generic category hubs.
Map each query class to a destination and a supporting route.
| Intent class | Primary destination | Supporting route |
|---|---|---|
| Direct comparison | /compare/profiles/ | /rankings/profiles/ |
| Topic evaluation | /rankings/tags/ | /rankings/segments/ |
| Method trust | /methodology/ | /lab-notes/ |
Any intent class without a destination page is a missed traffic segment.
Add destination pages before expanding low-intent inventory.
Keep coverage balanced across commercial and informational intents.
