A group of interlinked pages covering a core topic and its subtopics in depth.
A topic cluster organizes content around a central theme with a pillar page and multiple supporting pages for subtopics. Clusters improve topical authority, user navigation, and internal linking relevance. This structure helps search engines understand comprehensive coverage and reinforces relationships between concepts.
| Criteria | Recommended | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Intent Alignment | Map $topic cluster 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 |
