Why is the Topical Map Generator free during beta?

The Generator runs a multi-stage AI pipeline for each map. We are offering it free during beta so early users can evaluate the output quality — the node inventory, URL structure, entity enrichment, and internal linking plan — before pricing is introduced. We will give clear advance notice before beta ends.

What do I get for free vs paid on the Drift Analyzer?

The free crawl shows your radial map, semantic clusters, issue severity, and affected URL counts per issue type. Paid plans unlock the affected URL lists and per-page diagnostics so you can see exactly which pages to fix. Exports and historical tracking are also unlocked.

Do I really get unlimited crawls?

Yes. Unlike tools that limit you to one crawl per month, you can crawl as often as you need. Check drift after content updates, verify fixes with before/after crawls, and track improvement over time. We only ask for reasonable use — no automated abuse.

What does the Topical Map Generator actually produce?

A complete JSON graph with nodes (every topic, subtopic, FAQ, hub, section, and comparison) and edges (every internal link with anchor text, placement hint, and required/optional status). Each node carries a canonical URL, tier, URL role, hub role, entity list, alias phrases, and confidence score. The output loads directly into the visual editor — or export as PNG, SVG, or CSV for immediate use.

How does Search Console data improve the drift analysis?

GSC grounds drift scoring in real query intent. It detects when a page's actual traffic has shifted toward a different topic than the page was built for — which is often invisible from content analysis alone. We compare page-level query profiles against cluster-level intent to find misalignment between what you built and what Google is sending you.
