Jasper is great at writing content - but what content should you write? That's where Topical Map AI comes in. It's not a Jasper replacement; it's what you use before Jasper to build a content strategy that actually ranks.

TL;DR - Key Differences:

Jasper: AI writing assistant ($49-$125/mo) - writes blog posts, ads, and marketing copy
Topical Map AI: Content strategy tool ($56-$374/mo) - plans what to write with 800+ keywords
Best approach: Use Topical Map AI to plan your strategy, then use Jasper to execute it

The Problem: Writing Without a Strategy

Most teams using Jasper face the same challenge: they can produce content faster than ever, but they don't know what to write. The result?

Random content: Writing about whatever comes to mind instead of strategic topics
No topical authority: Scattered content that doesn't build expertise in Google's eyes
Keyword cannibalization: Multiple posts competing for the same keywords
No internal linking plan: Content exists in isolation instead of supporting each other

Writing 100 AI-generated articles without a strategy is like building 100 houses without blueprints. You might get lucky, but you'll probably waste a lot of resources.

Topical authority: Sites that comprehensively cover a topic outrank those with scattered content
