SEED Page

Knowledge Graphs

sub-topic page

SEED Page is the starting page of a topical cluster corresponding to the central entity in the knowledge graph: the foundation for topical authority.

A SEED Page is the starting page of a topical cluster that corresponds to the central entity in a knowledge graph — the most important URL for a given topic where topical authority begins. SEED Pages cover the Core Unique and Strong Direct layers of the graph, link to all NODE Pages in the cluster, and serve as the target URL for the most important queries. In site architecture, a SEED Page is a pillar page: a broad, thorough article with links to sub-topics.

SEED Pages are identified during the content planning stage. Each central entity from the Topical Map gets one SEED Page. The difference between a SEED Page and a regular NODE Page: SEED is the cluster's 'root,' NODE is a 'leaf' or 'branch.'

For example, 'Personal Injury Claims — Complete Guide' would be a SEED Page, while 'How to Calculate Personal Injury Compensation' is a NODE Page linked from the SEED. In practice, the SEED Page should be written and published FIRST in the cluster; without it, NODE Pages lack an 'anchor' and Google can't see the topical structure.
