Building Topic Clusters

Explain the pillar + satellite strategy and how to use it.

Topic Clusters let you create interconnected article networks. A pillar article covers a broad topic, while satellite articles dive into specific subtopics, all linking back to each other. This structure boosts both SEO and AI visibility.

What's a Topic Cluster?

  • A pillar article is a comprehensive main article on a broad topic.
  • Satellite articles are supporting articles on specific subtopics that link back to the pillar.
  • Together, they create an internal linking structure that search engines and AI models favor.
