  • Build a location × property type × seller situation matrix and pick 5–7 cells to own
  • Audit Rightmove and Zoopla listings for underserved niches in your local area
  • Publish one anchor page per cell: service + case study + local market insight
  • Wire each cell into a sibling cluster with 3+ internal links to related local content
  • Refresh the matrix quarterly as local market conditions and buyer demands shift
