Topic authority,
at depth.

Cluster strategy that organises content around core topics — pillar pages, supporting articles, internal linking — so search engines and AI tools see your business as the authority on a category.

01 — Why it matters

Benefit 02

Compounding rankings

Each cluster article lifts the others — internal linking multiplies authority.

Benefit 03

Better conversion

Topic Cluster Strategy
questions.

Want to discuss specifics? Get in touch and a senior specialist will respond directly.

How big is a typical cluster?

15–40 articles per pillar, plus the pillar page itself. Smaller clusters work for niche businesses.

How long until clusters rank?

Marketing engagements start with a minimum six-month commitment so the work has time to compound. Specific timelines per deliverable are agreed during discovery.

Can you build clusters around our existing content?

Yes. We start with an audit of existing articles and slot them into the cluster map.

What is a pillar page?

A comprehensive long-form page covering a topic broadly — typically 3,000+ words — that anchors a cluster of more specific supporting articles.

Will this replace our blog?

No. Clusters live alongside ongoing blog content. Many clients use clusters as the SEO backbone and blog for timely / news topics.
