Hub Planner Skill

Hub Planner is a shareable AI-agent skill for planning SEO content hubs, topic clusters, pillar pages, cornerstone pages, content silos, topical maps, SEO blueprints, internal linking strategies, revenue-page support, and AI-search/GEO/AEO visibility.

It is designed for content strategists, SEO operators, affiliate site builders, SaaS teams, local businesses, product teams, and AI-assisted content workflows that need a practical hub blueprint instead of a generic keyword list.

What It Helps You Create

• A clear hub strategy around one core topic or entity
• A pillar / cornerstone page brief
• Supporting article briefs mapped by search intent and funnel stage
• Revenue-page support plans for affiliate, product, SaaS, service, or lead-gen pages
• Internal linking rules between pillar, supporting, and revenue pages
• E-E-A-T and helpful-content requirements
• AI-search/GEO/AEO requirements for answer engines and AI Overviews
• Publishing priorities and maintenance tasks

Core Model

The skill uses a four-layer hub model:

1. Cornerstone / pillar page — a broad, comprehensive overview of the topic.
2. Supporting pages — deeper pages that answer specific questions, problems, comparisons, and use cases.
3. Revenue pages — pages where conversion happens, such as product pages, service pages, reviews, comparisons, or buying guides.
4. AI Search Layer — answer-first sections, entity clarity, citable facts, structured summaries, schema opportunities, and trust signals that improve visibility in ChatGPT-style browsing, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Bing Copilot, and other answer engines.

Internal links connect the layers so users, search engines, and AI retrieval systems can understand the topic hierarchy and the business path.
