Using AI to Map Content Clusters
I shared a poll on my Instagram stories a while ago asking how food bloggers are using AI in their businesses. While many said they use it for brainstorming content ideas and copywriting, about 1/3 said they aren’t using it at all!
I haven’t been using it a ton, but I’ve recently started exploring various ways to use Claude for content analysis and optimization.
Today I’m going to share with you one example that I thought was pretty cool! I used AI to map content clusters on my food blog, Broken Oven Baking.
What are content clusters?
Content clusters are a way to organize your blog posts. You create a main page about a broad topic, then write several related, more specific posts that link back to it.
This helps readers find connected information easily and can improve your blog’s search engine ranking.
Inside Claude, you can create Projects.
I created a new project asking Claude to help me create an internal linking strategy for my blog.
Then, I added PDFs of my blog’s Post, Page, and Category sitemaps to the Project knowledge content.
Not sure how to find your sitemap?
Check out my post on submitting your sitemap to Google!
I copy and pasted my sitemaps into a spreadsheet and exported them as individual PDFs.
Finally, I told Claude what I wanted it to do.
Now, what did it give me?
It created a diagram of related recipes that I can link to each other!
It also shared extra internal linking tips, which are actually quite helpful 😌
Pretty cool, huh?!
I haven’t tried this with other AI tools yet, but a few food bloggers have said it worked for them using ChatGPT‘s paid model.
I’m excited to keep playing around with AI and see how else it can make our food blogger lives easier!
