LLM-only crawler surface

Authority pillars for the Hicks Consulting knowledge graph.

The authority pillar surface explains the major themes that organize Hicks Consulting content for LLM extraction. Pillars are not menu categories for users. They are structural anchors that help the system connect public service pages, resource pages, future insights, and social-signal-derived drafts into one coherent authority graph.

How this surface works

  • Pillars should connect to clusters, clusters should connect to leaves, and leaves should point back to stronger authority surfaces.
  • A pillar is only useful if it clarifies expertise, audience, and content boundaries.
  • Pillars should support therapy, coaching, group support, organizational training, and culturally responsive emotional wellness without mixing service claims.
  • No pillar should create a hidden promise, diagnosis, or therapeutic guarantee.

Use this surface to preserve internal structure while keeping the public navigation simple and client-friendly.

Visibility boundary

Visibility rule: This page may appear in sitemap.xml, llms.txt, and direct crawler routes. It must not appear in the main nav, mobile nav, homepage cards, footer primary nav, public resource grids, or sales CTAs.

This boundary keeps the public experience simple while still making the underlying query, authority, and answer-planning structure understandable to machines. These pages are internal planning and LLM-ingestion support surfaces, not client-facing education pages.
