Marketplace Fee Calc: Launch Map and Content Direction
Phase objective
Build early topical authority for marketplace fee calculator with a practical, decision-ready content cluster.
30-day launch map
- Publish/refresh core cluster (
hub,what-is,how-to, checklist, cost, mistakes). - Ensure every article links to
/tools/and at least one core page. - Track initial baseline for net margin and take-rate.
60-day optimization map
- Expand with scenario pages based on real user questions.
- Improve snippets and title-intent alignment for existing pages.
- Reduce weak pages and consolidate overlapping intents.
90-day scale map
- Double down on pages that drive qualified sessions and tool usage.
- Add proof assets (examples, templates, benchmarks) tied to net contribution per order.
- Build repeatable update loop so content stays operational, not static.
Editorial guardrails
- Primary audience: marketplace sellers and category managers.
- Repeated risk to avoid: optimizing GMV while hidden fees compress profit.
- Output standard: each page must lead to SKU-level channel selection and floor pricing.
