Question: Fill in the blank: Strive to choose a core topic with a monthly search volume that’s at least __________.
- 20
- 300
- 800
- 1,500
Explanation
A core topic should have enough monthly search volume to support a meaningful topic cluster strategy. HubSpot uses this threshold to help ensure the topic is broad enough for a pillar page and related subtopic content. Very low-volume topics may be too narrow to organize a full cluster around. The goal is to choose a topic with clear search demand while still keeping it relevant to the audience.
Why the other options are incorrect
20 is too low to show enough search demand for a strong core topic.
800 is higher than HubSpot’s minimum guidance for starting a core topic.
1,500 is not required as the baseline for selecting a core topic.
