Publishing strategy

  • Publish high-intent indicators with the strongest search demand first.
  • After each indicator goes live, it automatically unlocks country, country+indicator, ranking, and collection pages.
  • The topic catalog shows how much expansion potential still remains outside the current release.

Analytical takeaways

  • The “Gender” theme is now embedded as a standalone SEO hub rather than just another indicator list.
  • The gap between catalog coverage and published coverage helps plan the next import wave without losing structure.
  • Even partial topic coverage creates many internal routes: to global indicators, country comparisons, and region/income slices.
