Content Cluster Blueprint
Build topical authority by linking your best ideas into a connected system.
Why Clusters Work?
Modern SEO isn’t about one page ranking for everything.
Clusters help you:
- Signal depth on a subject
- Spread relevance across linked pages
- Help users discover more answers
- Organize your content calendar with clarity
The Blueprint Steps
Create a Cluster That Works
1. Pick a Pillar Topic
Something broad, evergreen, and strategic — e.g., "SEO Strategy"
2. Research Subtopics
Break the pillar into 6–12 questions, keywords, or how-tos
3. Draft Your Supporting Pages
Answer one sub-topic per page — give them depth and clarity
4. Link Everything Thoughtfully
All sub-pages link to pillar, and across each other contextually
5. Design a Visual Map
Keep track of content status, internal links, keyword angles
Use the Cluster Template
Map It Before You Write It
- Brainstorm pillar + cluster topics
- Map internal links before publishing
- Assign keywords and content brief notes
