Keyword-Page Mapping
A keyword-page mapping is one versioned assignment connecting a keyword or query cluster to the single existing or planned page accountable for satisfying it.
What it means
The record should include target URL, intent evidence, page status, locale, owner and review date. `Keyword mapping` is the broader planning process; the hyphenated term here denotes an individual assignment.
Why it matters
An explicit record exposes unmapped demand, duplicated ownership and pages serving incompatible needs. It also allows changes to be reviewed without silently rewriting historical strategy.
Example
The cluster around `payroll software pricing` maps to `/pricing/`, with status `optimize`, commercial intent evidence and a reviewer—not to both the homepage and a duplicate article.
Common mistakes
Do not assign the same primary cluster to competing URLs, map by lexical overlap alone or delete historical records. Mark uncertain, planned and retired assignments explicitly.

Execution
AYSA can write the approved mapping and queue page or internal-link work through the canonical workflow.
