# subnautica2maps P1 resource content matrix — 2026-05-27

Task: t_58f64345
Production site: https://subnautica2maps.com/
Scope: /map/ answer-first support plus first resource/location content matrix.

## Canonical UX entry

- `/map/` remains the primary Subnautica 2 interactive map page.
- `/map/?q=silver` remains the canonical search-first entry for the strongest GSC/SERP signal from the upstream cockpit.
- Resource pages link back to filtered map searches so users can complete the actual task: search resource, inspect marker, compare coordinates/depth/biome/source/confidence, then route locally.

## Indexable resource pages

| URL | Primary keyword | Search intent | Page contract | Index policy |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| `/resources/silver/` | Subnautica 2 silver locations | Find early Silver cave/resource leads | answer-first lede, coordinate table, best early Silver leads, route planner, map backlink, FAQ/schema, source confidence, last updated | index + sitemap |
| `/resources/copper/` | Subnautica 2 copper locations | Find early Copper route/map leads | answer-first lede, coordinate table, resource planner, route matrix, related resource links, FAQ/schema, source confidence, last updated | index + sitemap |
| `/resources/titanium/` | Subnautica 2 titanium locations | Build a broad early Titanium gathering checklist | answer-first lede, coordinate table, task planner, route matrix, related links, FAQ/schema, source confidence, last updated | index + sitemap |
| `/resources/salt/` | Subnautica 2 salt locations | Decide whether a Salt marker is worth a route detour | answer-first lede, coordinate table, biome/depth notes, map backlink, FAQ/schema, source confidence, last updated | index + sitemap |
| `/resources/quartz/` | Subnautica 2 quartz locations | Finish a quick crafting/resource checklist | answer-first lede, coordinate table, route checklist, map backlink, FAQ/schema, source confidence, last updated | index + sitemap |

## Map-only / noindex resource handling

| URL / query | Reason | Policy |
|---|---|---|
| `/map/?q=sulfur` and exported `/resources/sulfur/` | Useful to users, but standalone source depth is weaker than Silver/Copper/Titanium/Salt/Quartz | keep `/resources/sulfur/` noindex and out of sitemap; route users from hub to filtered map |
| Remaining lower-evidence resources | Useful as map filters but not strong enough for standalone pages | no standalone indexable URL until source depth improves |

## SEO/GEO/AEO requirements implemented

- Answer-first: resource pages start with direct short answer and filtered map CTA.
- Content depth: indexable resource pages pass >=800 words and H2>=3.
- FAQ/schema: each resource page emits Breadcrumb + CreativeWork + FAQPage JSON-LD.
- Source confidence: coordinate rows and status cards expose source name, confidence, index policy, and provenance.
- Last updated: resource status cards expose retrieved date; /map/ header exposes last updated date.
- Map backlinks: resource hero, mini-map card, route matrix, and related-resource matrix link back to `/map/?q=<resource>` or `/map/`.
- Anti-doorway: hub keeps thin resources as filtered map searches instead of adding low-value sitemap pages.
