Content clustering
Planning pages as a cluster around a pillar. Helps Google and gives retrievers more than one door.
Clusters that are just keyword variations are spam. Clusters that cover real sub-questions are topical authority.
Interlink like a human bibliography, not a spider web of exact-match anchors.
Examples
- Pillar: “SOC 2 for startups.” Cluster: evidence, cost, timeline, vs ISO, common fail items.

Links within your site. They pass attention to crawlers and humans. Use normal language anchors.
A planning artifact: all the subtopics you intend to cover, in a tree. Useful. Easy to turn into a content mill if you fill every node with oatmeal.
