## 3. Articles KILLED + why

| Sujet | Raison KILL |
|---|---|
| `custom jewellery manufacturer` (vol 1700, KD 15) | **Page statique** : ce kw doit aller sur `/design-development/`, pas en blog (intent commercial pur, SERP HOMEPAGES). |
| `custom jewelry manufacturer` (vol 1600, KD 41) | **Page statique** + KD trop élevé pour blog. |
| `private label jewellery / jewelry` + variants manufacturer (vol 80-100, KD 10-15) | **Page statique** : déjà couverts par `/oem-jewellery-manufacturer/`. Si on en fait un blog, on cannibalise. |
| `white label jewellery / jewelry` + variants manufacturer | Idem, **page statique** `/oem-jewellery-manufacturer/`. (NB : on garde le sujet **dans Article 4** sous l'angle comparatif "vs private label" pour capter le kw différenciant.) |
| `best country to manufacture jewelry` (vol 10, KD 49) | **ROI** : vol trop bas + KD irrécupérable. Le sujet "best country" est mieux servi par l'angle "Thailand vs China vs India" (Article 6) qui a KD 9 sur la variante comparative. |
| `responsible sourcing jewelry` (vol 10, KD 37) | **Mauvais cluster** : appartient au cluster RSE (§15 du plan global), pas au cluster sourcing B2B. À déplacer dans le brief blog Sustainability. |
| `how to choose / find a jewellery manufacturer` (orthographe US dupliquée) | **Pas un KILL stricto sensu** — fusionnés dans Article 1 (un seul article, deux orthographes ciblées dans le contenu). |

| **Août 2026** | Article 2 — MOQ Jewellery Explained | KD 10, sujet ultra-B2B, ADVMFR a un angle vrai. Quick win. |
| **Septembre 2026** | Article 3 — OEM vs ODM Jewellery | KD 13, SERP 100 % éditorial, conversion forte vers `/oem-jewellery-manufacturer/`. |

### Q4 2026 (octobre-décembre) — densification + geo-positioning

| Mois | Article | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| **Octobre 2026** | Article 4 — Private Label vs White Label Jewellery | KD 12, complète Article 3 pour fermer le cluster "modèles d'approvisionnement". |
| **Novembre 2026** | Article 6 — Thailand vs China vs India | Geo-positioning explicite ADVMFR. Doit sortir avant les budgets Q1 des acheteurs. |
| **Décembre 2026** | Article 8 — Jewellery Tech Pack Guide | KD 18, lead magnet "tech pack template" = capture email B2B avant période de planification Q1. |

### Q1 2027 (janvier-mars) — finitions pillar + dossiers techniques

| Mois | Article | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| **Janvier 2027** | Article 5 — How to Start a Jewellery Brand | KD 26, pillar long (3 000+ mots). Boost de trafic janvier (saisonnalité "new year, new brand"). |
| **Février 2027** | Article 7 — Import Duties & Incoterms | KD 27-33, sujet stable, faible turnover éditorial → autorité durable. |

**Cadence** : **1 article/mois pendant 8 mois**. Cohérent avec une équipe content modeste + permet d'observer le ranking d'Article 1 (hub) avant de tout publier.

## 5. Internal linking strategy across the cluster

### Modèle : Hub-and-spoke avec Article 1 comme pillar

```
                    HOME
                     │
                     ▼
            ┌────────────────┐
            │  Article 1     │ ◄── /about-us/, /oem-jewellery-manufacturer/, /design-development/
            │  HUB / Pillar  │
            │  "Choose mfr"  │
            └────────┬───────┘
                     │ (links to + from all 7 spokes)
        ┌────────────┼────────────┬────────────┬────────────┬────────────┬────────────┐
        ▼            ▼            ▼            ▼            ▼            ▼            ▼
   Article 2    Article 3    Article 4    Article 5    Article 6    Article 7    Article 8
   MOQ          OEM/ODM      Priv/White   Start brand  TH/CN/IN     Duties       Tech pack
        │            │            │            │            │            │            │
        └────────────┴────────────┴────────────┴────────────┴────────────┴────────────┘
                                       (cross-links between spokes where contextual)
```

### Règles de maillage

1. **Article 1 (hub)** lie vers les 7 autres articles depuis le H2 thématique correspondant. Aucun autre article ne mérite plus de 1-2 liens internes vers Article 1 (sinon on dilue).
2. **Spokes vers spokes** : seulement quand la dépendance est forte (ex : Article 5 "start a brand" lie vers Articles 2, 3, 7, 8 car ce sont des étapes du processus).
3. **Spokes vers pages statiques** : chaque spoke a 1 CTA primaire vers la page statique commerciale correspondante (`/oem-jewellery-manufacturer/`, `/design-development/`, `/contact-us/`).
4. **Home → hub** : ajouter dans le footer (section "Resources" ou "Buyer's guides") un lien vers Article 1 + un lien vers Article 5 (les 2 piliers).
5. **`/about-us/`** lie vers Article 6 (Thailand vs China vs India) en preuve géo-expertise.
6. **`/sustainability/`** lie vers Article 1 dans la section "Why audit your manufacturer" (croise les 2 clusters).
7. **Breadcrumb** : `Home > Blog > Sourcing & buyer's guides > [Article]`. Catégorie blog dédiée `sourcing-b2b` qui devient une page "tag" rankable sur `jewellery sourcing guide` (KD 16) en fallback.

### Anchor text guidelines

- Vers Article 1 : varier "jewellery manufacturer checklist", "how to choose a jewellery manufacturer", "audit a jewellery factory" — éviter l'exact match unique.
- Vers `/oem-jewellery-manufacturer/` : ancres commerciales "OEM jewellery manufacturing", "private label jewellery production".
- Vers `/contact-us/` : CTA contextuels "request a quote", "book a video audit".

## 6. Notes & risks

### Risques identifiés

1. **Vol = "n/a" sur 80 % des kw** : Mangools mesure ces kw à <10/mois en US. Le trafic réel sera capté sur la **longue traîne** (variantes de formulation, autres pays UK/AU/IN/EU). L'angle "trafic faible mais hyper-qualifié B2B" est défendable mais on ne ranke pas pour de la volumétrie pure — c'est un cluster de **lead nurturing**, pas un cluster de top-of-funnel.

2. **Growth négatif sur plusieurs kw** (-44 à -76 % sur private/white label, custom mfr, how to find a jewelry mfr). Le marché de la recherche B2B "comment trouver/choisir" baisse globalement — probablement à cause de l'essor des sourcing platforms (Alibaba, Faire) qui mangent le trafic. **Conséquence** : surveiller le ranking trimestriellement, pivoter si décroissance >30 % YoY après publication.

3. **SERP "REDDIT-heavy"** sur 4 articles (1, 5, 6, 8) : Google montre Reddit en top 3. Pour ranker, il faudra soit (a) un contenu nettement supérieur à Reddit (probable avec angle "30-year factory insider"), soit (b) compléter par une présence active sur les threads Reddit pertinents (`r/jewelry`, `r/Entrepreneur`, `r/manufacturing`) — non-éditorial mais nécessaire au SEO 2026.

4. **Article 6 (Thailand vs China vs India)** : risque de partialité perçue. Si l'article penche trop pro-Thailand, Google et les lecteurs le sanctionnent. **Discipline éditoriale** : reconnaître les vraies forces de la Chine (volume, plating) et de l'Inde (diamant). L'objectivité = la conversion.

5. **Lead magnets** : Articles 1 (checklist PDF) et 8 (tech pack template) nécessitent un workflow d'email capture. À cadrer avec l'équipe CRM (Twenty CRM en cours de déploiement) avant publication.

6. **Cannibalisation interne** : risque réel entre Article 4 (private vs white) et `/oem-jewellery-manufacturer/`. À neutraliser via canonical clairs et différenciation d'angle (blog = comparatif éducatif, page statique = offre commerciale).

7. **Quota Mangools** : tous les kw vol "n/a" méritent une 2e passe Mangools pour confirmer KD/intent. Le plan reste valable même si vol = 0 confirmé (intent ultra-qualifié justifie publication), mais à surveiller en post-publi via GSC.

### Hors-scope mais à considérer ensuite

- **Cluster `/blog/process-technique/`** (§13 du plan global) : 14 sujets prévus. Forte synergie avec Article 8 (tech pack) → planifier en Q2 2027.
- **Cluster `/blog/sustainability/`** (§15) : récupère `responsible sourcing jewelry` killé ici + tout le sujet RJC.
- **Variantes UK (`jewellery`)** : déjà intégrées via title/H1/meta. Pas besoin d'articles dupliqués US/UK — un article unique avec mix d'orthographes naturel dans le contenu suffit (Google déduplique).
