What Is a Topic Cluster?

A topic cluster is how you stop writing random posts and start owning a subject. One central page, a ring of supporting articles, all linked. Simple model, big results.

The short version

A topic cluster is a content model where a central pillar page covers a broad topic and links out to multiple related subpages, each covering a specific subtopic. The internal links tie them together to build topical authority.

The parts

• A pillar page covering the broad topic

• Cluster pages covering specific subtopics

• Internal links connecting them in both directions

Why it works

Clusters tell search engines you cover a subject in depth, not just once. That depth is what earns topical authority, the goal behind our SEO and ecommerce content strategy.

FAQ

Do I need a pillar page for every topic?

For subjects you want to own, yes. A pillar plus cluster structure consistently outperforms scattered, unconnected posts.
