A hierarchical site organization that groups related content into tightly linked sections.
Silo structure groups content into themed sections with strong internal links within each silo and limited cross-linking between silos. This clarifies topical focus for users and crawlers, strengthening relevance and authority signals. Modern implementations balance silos with user-centric cross-links to avoid isolation.
| Criteria | Recommended | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Intent Alignment | Map $silo structure to user journeys and topics | Validate with SERP and on-site behavior |
| Consistency | Encode in components and content standards | Use CMS validations and preview QA |
| Measurement | Track internal CTR, sync signals, conversions | Set guardrails to catch regressions |
