What is a content cluster?
A content cluster is one main page about a topic, supported by individual pages covering subtopics, all interlinked.
The main page targets the broad term (“outsourcing SEO”), while the supporting pages target specific questions (“how much does it cost”, “how long does it take”, “which agencies”).
All pages link to the main page and, where sensible, to each other. That way, Google knows which page is the most important.

Why it matters
Stand-alone articles without connection remain weak. A cluster lets you compete for high-competition terms because the subpages pass on authority.
It also prevents you from creating two pages about the same topic that compete with each other.
How we approach it
We build one solid main page for each service, supported by relevant pricing, explainer, and comparison pages.
With every new article, we immediately determine which cluster it belongs to and where the links go.
Frequently asked questions
How many pages per cluster?
Usually five to ten. Expand based on the questions people actually ask.
Does this work for online shops too?
Yes: category page as the main page, with buying guides and comparisons underneath.
