Supporting analysis: Live-site authority diagnostic + 20 high-impact expansions (interactive D3 report) | This matrix is the full implementation map (233 nodes) behind that analysis.

1. URL Structure — Flat Categories, Context-Rich Slugs

Rule: URLs use only the approved top-level category plus one short post slug, but the slug must preserve any semantic context that disappears when old child folders are removed. The goal is flat, not vague.

Approved categories

corporate · horeca · lifestyle · news · pairing · sake · sommelier-training · tasting · tours · wine

Semantic flattening principle

When an old parent folder described what the leaf entity is, carry that meaning into the slug. Do not add redundant words where the slug is already self-explanatory.

Correct examples

Old nested URLNew flat URLWhy
/wine/grape-varieties/cabernet-sauvignon//wine/cabernet-sauvignon-grape/grape replaces the lost grape-varieties context.
/wine/regions/bordeaux//wine/bordeaux-region/region clarifies that the page covers Bordeaux as a wine region.
/sake/brewing/shubo//sake/shubo-brewing/brewing replaces the lost process context.
/wine/wine-chemistry/wine-aromas//wine/wine-aroma-compounds/The rewritten slug states the actual chemistry angle without a redundant folder.

Do not mechanically append parent words. A URL such as /wine/wine-acidity/ already contains enough meaning; /wine/wine-acidity-chemistry/ would be unnecessarily awkward.

2. Live-Site Authority Diagnostic — Merged Findings

This section merges the pertinent structural findings from the independently generated live-site topical authority report (18 August 2026) into the larger implementation matrix below. It is diagnostic context, not a replacement for the 233-row plan.

What the live audit confirms

  • The site is bilingual EN/TH, with roughly 110 Thai mirror URLs; hreflang was confirmed on the homepage.
  • The dominant problem is structural rather than a lack of topics: the generic Wine category acts as a catch-all and the inferred contextual-link graph is sparse.
  • Sake Education, Wine Tours, and Corporate/HORECA have the largest relative supporting-content gaps compared with their commercial importance.
  • Product/course pages are only loosely connected to informational content, so informational authority is not consistently flowing into revenue pages.

How this changes the implementation plan

  • Use the matrix row-to-row links as the primary implementation map instead of recreating child directories.
  • Every informational page should link upward to its core destination, sideways to related supporting pages, and where relevant downward to a bookable course/product.
  • Pairing/lifestyle content should always provide a path back into a core training, tasting, sake, tour, corporate or HORECA destination.
  • New category separation is useful only if contextual internal links reinforce those narrower entities; category archives alone should not carry the topical hierarchy.

Audience and commercial intent alignment

AudienceMain search needCore destination
Aspiring sommeliers / career changersCertification path, cost and employer recognitionSommelier training / certification
Hobbyist beginnersBeginner classes, tasting skills and what to expectTasting / beginner wine classes
Sake-curious diners & F&B staffSake basics, pairing and formal studySake courses / sake education
Corporate / HORECA buyersTeam events, staff training and beverage standardsCorporate and HORECA services
Expat / tourist enthusiastsWine experiences, tours and private masterclassesTours / masterclasses / tastings
Cannibalization watch: the live audit did not find strong English-page cannibalization overall, but it specifically flags multiple beginner-wine-class/Bangkok-2026 style pages for consolidation or sharper intent differentiation before more beginner content is published.
Measurement limitation: the source live audit did not have Google Search Console or Analytics connected. Its gap and query recommendations are therefore structural hypotheses, not search-volume or performance-validated demand. The matrix should be prioritized with GSC/keyword data when available.

4. Internal Linking Rules

Authority-flow minimum: for new or materially updated informational pages, aim for one clear link toward the cluster/commercial destination, at least two relevant sibling links where they genuinely help the reader, and a product/course CTA where commercial intent is appropriate. Cross-cluster bridge themes should include sake ↔ pairing, corporate ↔ HORECA, and tours ↔ training/masterclasses. Use varied natural anchors rather than repeating exact-match anchor text.

Matrix-first implementation

  • Use the row-number links in the matrix as the editorial linking brief.
  • Place links naturally in relevant paragraphs; do not create a mechanical “related links” dump only.
  • New gap pages should link to relevant existing rows immediately on publication.
  • When a linked gap page goes live, update older existing pages so the relationship becomes two-way where context supports it.

Hierarchy without child URLs

Topical hierarchy still exists through content relationships and internal links, not through extra URL folders. “Wine Chemistry”, “Grape Varieties”, “Regions”, etc. remain topical groups in this matrix but do not become URL levels.

This keeps URLs short while preserving semantic structure through breadcrumbs/category archives, on-page headings and the internal-link graph.

5. Existing Content, Migration & Cannibalization Notes

The original source statuses (Existing / Thin / Cannibal) have been preserved. The target URL column represents the intended normalized structure; it should not be treated as an instruction to blindly change a live indexed URL without checking redirects, backlinks and current rankings. For any live URL that changes, use a 301 and update internal links to the new canonical destination.
