Keyword Clusters: How to Level up Your #SEO #ContentStrategy

Keyword clusters are a more advanced SEO content strategy that can give you the edge you need to win in competitive verticals.

Over the last few years, Google’s engineering team has directed its focus towards natural language processing and a deeper understanding of how on-page content interrelates.

Neural matching helped Google understand synonyms. B.E.R.T helped Google understand those tricky prepositions.

With every core update, Google gets more literary.

But despite Google getting smarter, many site owners still optimise their websites with only a few keyword targets in mind.

This is an outdated practice, especially when we know our landing pages often end up ranking for hundreds of keywords anyway.

The idea of topic clusters was popularized by HubSpot when they employed an effective content strategy that focused on high-quality content with tons of internal linking. The success of their inbound marketing techniques was based on pillar content optimized for search intent with specific buyer personas that targeted a wide range of related keywords for a specific topic.

Long-Term SEO Keyword Targeting and Ranking Strategy:

1. Focus on a Short-Tail Keyword or the Major Topic you want to rank for

2. Find Related Keywords for New Content Ideas

3. Group Keywords and Create Content

4. Link Related Content Together

5. Keep Improving Content for Top Keywords

While SEO continues to change over time, one of the main strategies that has not changed is creating great content that covers a large topic. If I want to rank for a keyword like ‘Search Engine Optimization’ then I need to understand every small detail that people will be looking for so Google considers my website a great resource.

In addition, Google and other search engines give more authority to websites and businesses that cover different topics in detail for a long period of time. It’s why you don’t see many brand new websites come along and dominate, because search engines will rank websites with a longer history of content creation first. Therefore, you need to have a long-term SEO strategy that focuses on being the best possible resource in your industry. If I want to rank Surfside PPC for terms like Google Ads and PPC Advertising, then I need to continue to improve my content and my website for those key terms.

Topic Clusters: The Next Evolution of SEO by Hubspot: https://blog.hubspot.com/news-trends/topic-clusters-seo

Topic clusters refer to a strategy that involves linking your related content together to show the amount of comprehensive content you have related to specific topics. For example, Digital Marketing is a huge topic with many sub-topics. If you can create a great resource covering the topic of Digital Marketing, you also want to link it to some of the different sub-topics like content marketing, creating a website, search engine optimization, paid advertising, email marketing, local seo, and more.
