# SEO Content Plan for Land Water Intelligence

## Primary SEO direction

The static site should establish the brand around:

- Wyoming land intelligence
- Montana land intelligence
- Idaho land intelligence
- land + water + power due diligence
- rural property decision support
- ranch, recreational, agricultural, and development land research

## What not to do

Do **not** publish hundreds of near-duplicate pages that only swap the state, county, or city name. That creates thin content and can hurt trust.

Bad example:

```text
Best land intelligence in County A
Best land intelligence in County B
Best land intelligence in County C
```

If the body copy is almost the same, do not publish it.

## Better page strategy

Create fewer, stronger pages that answer real buyer questions.

Suggested first 12 pages:

1. Wyoming land water rights due diligence
2. Montana land water rights due diligence
3. Idaho land water rights due diligence
4. How to evaluate power access for rural land
5. How to evaluate wells, springs, and surface water before buying land
6. How snowpack and drought can affect rural land value
7. Ranch land due diligence checklist for the Mountain West
8. Recreational land due diligence checklist for WY, MT, and ID
9. How to compare land parcels beyond price per acre
10. Land, water, and power: why all three matter
11. Wyoming county land research guide
12. Montana and Idaho rural property infrastructure guide

## County pages

County pages can be useful later, but only if each page includes real differences:

- county-specific planning and zoning links
- relevant water agency links
- major watersheds or basins
- wildfire and flood considerations
- utility and infrastructure considerations
- land market patterns
- buyer questions unique to that county

## Blog/update cadence

A realistic beginner cadence:

- Month 1: publish the homepage and 3 state pages
- Month 2: publish 3 pillar guides
- Month 3: publish 3 more guides
- Month 4+: add county pages only when you can make them genuinely useful

Quality matters more than volume.

## On-page SEO checklist for every new page

Each page should have:

- one unique `<title>` tag
- one unique meta description
- one clear H1
- helpful headings using normal language
- visible helpful content, not hidden keyword lists
- internal links to related pages
- a canonical URL
- inclusion in `sitemap.xml`
- no copied content from other pages
- no promises the product cannot yet support

## Safe disclaimer language

Use this near the footer or on due-diligence pages:

```text
Informational only. Not legal, financial, engineering, appraisal, utility, or water-rights advice. Verify all property-specific facts with qualified professionals and public records.
```
