SEO Phase 5: information architecture and authority signals #42
Description
Context
Phase 5 of SEO strategy. Reference: docs/seo-briefing.md (gitignored, local only).
Blocked on Phases 1-4.
Objective
Once enough content exists, refine site structure so search engines and readers can clearly understand the hierarchy of ideas.
Site hierarchy
- Homepage — what AgentVault is and why it matters
- Concept pages — canonical definitions of key ideas
- Comparison/essay pages — how AV relates to adjacent conversations
- Technical pages — implementation and assurance depth
- Docs/repo/spec — hands-on and normative resources
Internal linking model
Repeatedly reinforce:
- Problem: agent-to-agent privacy
- Mechanism: coordination contracts
- Output model: bounded signals
- Assurance: cryptographic receipts
- Enforcement: schema-bound outputs and guardian policy
VCAV treatment
Present only where it adds clarity — assurance tiers, specialised deployment, vault-family context. Don't split main navigation between AV and VCAV.
Deliverables
- Stable site navigation
- Consistent internal linking pattern
- Schema markup (Organization, WebSite, FAQPage, Article) where useful
- Canonical URLs and page hierarchy
