Definition

See "pillar-page" and "topic-cluster" for the underlying terms. The strategy: pick a high-value topic, build a deep pillar page targeting the head term, and build 10-30 cluster pages targeting long-tail variations — all linked together. The structure compounds topical authority over time.

Example

A "Programmatic SEO" pillar plus 25 cluster pages on data, templates, indexation, examples, and tools.
