Pigeon-SG · 12-month topical strategy v2 (journey-first)
AI Overview (AIO)
Google's AI-generated answer at top of some SERPs. Citation requires structured snippet + FAQ schema + short answer + fresh date.
Audience-first
The strategic frame where content architecture is organized by who the reader is and what life stage they're in, with products as outcomes. The opposite is product-first, where content is organized around what the brand sells.
BOFU
Bottom of funnel. Pages where the reader is comparing products and ready to buy. For Pigeon: PDPs, collection pages, comparison content.
Baby Bonus
Singapore government scheme. Claim deadline 14 days post-birth. Pigeon content guides parents through the admin.
Baby Fair window
4-6 week pre-fair period for each of 4 Singapore Baby Fairs (Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct). Content lock dates: March 1, June 1, September 1, December 1.
Bridge content
Articles that earn trust by being useful, without directly pushing a product. Example: 'Baby Bonus claim Singapore' content earns trust that brings the mother back to Pigeon's site for commercial searches later.
CTR
Click-through rate. % of people who see a search result and click.
Cannibalization
When two URLs on the same site rank for the same query, splitting clicks and confusing Google.
Child Development Account (CDA)
Singapore government savings account for child expenses. Pairs with Baby Bonus.
Click-revenue gap
URL ranking top-3 with very low click count but high revenue. Indicates SERP CTR is broken — title/meta needs surgery.
Cohort
Group of customers who first purchased in the same time period.
Collection page
Listing page on shop.pigeon.com.sg covering multiple products. Plural form (collections) for the URL pattern.
Confinement nanny
Traditional 28-day post-birth care provider in Singapore. Booked 4-6 months ahead.
Content brief
Per-article spec: target keyword, secondaries, internal links, schema, persona, expected outcome.
Customer ID (anonymous)
Opaque Shopify hash for cohort math without storing PII.
Entity disambiguation
Making clear to Google which 'Pigeon' a site is about (the Japanese baby brand) vs alternatives (Indian appliance brand, bird, restaurant).
Format-to-beat
Current top-3 ranking page structure. New content designed to match and exceed.
HDB
Singapore public housing flats. 80%+ of Singapore residents live in HDB. Nursery setup + baby-proofing content addresses HDB-specific constraints.
Hawker centre
Singapore food court. Daily eating venue for most Singapore families. With-baby content addresses cleanup + hygiene + chair seating.
Hub-spoke
A content architecture where a 'hub' page covers a topic broadly and 'spoke' pages cover sub-topics in depth, with internal links flowing both ways.
Journey cluster
An audience-led grouping of content + collections + products tied to a specific life-stage moment. The 10 journey clusters in v2 are: Pregnancy & Preparation, Birth & Postpartum, Newborn Feeding, Hygiene & Skincare, Returning to Work, Solids & Weaning, Mobile Baby + Safety, Toddler Care, Singapore Parenting Life, Pigeon Heritage.
Knowledge Graph
Google's entity database. Pigeon Singapore having its own entity = entity hardening goal.
LTV
Lifetime Value. Total revenue per customer over their lifetime.
Listicle placement
Getting Pigeon's product mentioned in someone else's 'best baby X' article. The external publisher alternative to self-published listicles.
MOFU
Middle of funnel. Buying guides, category overviews. Reader knows the problem, hasn't picked a product.
MOH
Singapore Ministry of Health. Issues vaccination schedules, infant care guidance. Pigeon content references MOH without naming specific institutions.
Mini sales page format
PDP layout: quick summary (60w) + comparison table + benefits + social proof + age-fit + FAQ + multiple CTAs.
PAA
People Also Ask. Expandable question boxes in Google SERPs. Captured with FAQ-formatted content + FAQPage schema.
PDP
Product Detail Page. Individual product page on shop.pigeon.com.sg.
Schema markup
Structured data added to a page so Google understands what's on it.
Singapore-native content
Content that assumes Singapore context: HDB, hawker, MRT, Baby Bonus, MOH, festivals. The moat against global-content competitors.
Source-context audit
Phase 0 of any topical strategy: map existing content + rankings so the strategy extends rather than duplicates.
Sprint
Two-week execution unit in the 26-sprint plan.
TOFU
Top of funnel. Educational content. Reader learning about the topic.
Topical authority
Google's signal that a site is comprehensive on a topic. Built via cluster + spoke architecture.
