Question: What is a topic cluster?
- A targeted cluster of relevant content that covers a specific topic in depth
- A collection of blog posts that addresses a series of related questions
- A comprehensive page that covers a topic in great detail
- A series of emails covering a specific topic that are used to generate leads
Explanation
A topic cluster is a set of related content organized around one main subject and connected through a pillar page and supporting content. HubSpot defines a topic as being made up of a pillar page plus content for related subtopic keywords. This structure is meant to organize content around a subject in depth so the relationship between pages is clear. It is larger than a single asset and more intentional than a loose collection of posts because the content is connected around one core topic. HubSpot Knowledge Base+1
