What's Already Shipped (~280 blogs)
| Category | Count | Quality verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Platform alternatives (Best X Alternative India) | ~65 | Top 15-20 are gold. Tail 45 = filler |
| Three-way comparisons (X vs Y vs Playto Pay) | ~40 | Top 15 strong. Rest risk cannibalization |
| Hidden fees / real cost breakdowns | ~17 | Strongest category. High commercial intent |
| Geography-specific (How to receive from Country X) | ~35 | US/UK/EU/UAE = critical. Rest = tail |
| Persona-targeted (Best PG for X) | ~30 | Weakest. Formulaic. Risk thin content signal |
| Compliance/informational (FIRA, FEMA, RBI, GST) | ~20 | Strong evergreen. Will rank for years |
| Vertical operational guides | ~30 | Strong. Lower volume but high conversion intent |
What Was Probably Not Worth Writing
- Tail geography blogs — Brazil, Nigeria, Kenya, Indonesia, Mexico, Philippines, Turkey, South Africa. Indian businesses rarely serve these markets. Minimal traffic.
- Tail platform alternatives — Hyperwallet, Paysera, Dwolla, Authorize.net, Square, Mollie alternatives. Zero search volume for India context.
- Enterprise platform alternatives — Worldpay, Adyen, Checkout.com. Enterprise-only, inaccessible to 99% of Playto Pay's target users.
- Persona-targeted blogs — Most formulaic. "Best PG for Indian Marketplace Platforms" etc. Thin content risk.
- Reverse-permutation three-ways — Same trios with different naming order. Cannibalization risk.
