How to Use Content Clusters to Improve Your Website’s SEO
Content clusters help to improve website authority and SEO performance, while boosting user experience.
Content clusters are groups of pages that cover a topic or theme in detail. This is a strategic approach that links several pages that discuss a certain topic. There is a central pillar page that brings all the sub pages together, providing broad coverage of your chosen topic.
Content clusters include three important components:
Your pillar page is the main page that consolidates all the themes covered in your cluster content. This page offers a broad overview, directing readers to in-depth resources.
These are your articles that focus on specific subtopics and are tied to the broad overview of your pillar page. Each article is connected to other cluster articles, along with the pillar page, using internal links.
Hyperlinks help to connect all the content under one content cluster, building context on how the article is relevant to the pillar page. It improves navigation for users and search engines.
Content clusters are an effective way at improving your SEO performance, boosting user experience, and helping search engines understand the hierarchy of your content:
As with any SEO strategy, a one size fits all approach does not work when it comes to content clusters. The process changes based on the website, along with how much you want to invest in content creation.
Content clusters are an excellent way to provide value to your reader, while improving your SEO efforts. It enables you to delve into topics on a deeper level, while ensuring search engines understand your content hierarchy, providing your visitors with a great user experience.
