> 150+ niches — 8 categories
Every niche carries structured context — audience, pain points, monetization, subtopics — that steers AI generation toward specific, relevant, keyword-targeted content.
A niche is not just a keyword. It is a structured topic definition with audience profiles, pain points, monetization strategies, and 10–30 subtopics. This context is injected directly into the AI prompt, producing content that is targeted rather than generic.

When you create a collection, the engine cross-multiplies your chosen niches with the content schema's subtopics. Each combination becomes a unique page. A collection targeting 3 niches with 16 subtopics each produces 48 pages.
Content matrix:
3 niches × 16 subtopics × 1 schema = 48 unique pages
The niche context (audience, pain points, monetization) is injected into every AI prompt. This means a page about "CI/CD pipelines" generated for the "Developer Tools" niche will reference different tools, examples, and audience concerns than the same subtopic generated for "DevOps."
