How to build a pillar page
Choose a broad topic central to your business, cover it thoroughly with a clear heading structure, and link to in-depth cluster pages for each subtopic (which link back). Keep it updated as the definitive resource. Done well, a pillar page becomes a magnet for backlinks and the hub that distributes authority to your cluster.
Pro tip
Publish cluster pages alongside the pillar, not months later. A pillar with no supporting cluster rarely ranks for a competitive head term on its own.
Key takeaways
A pillar page comprehensively covers a broad topic.
It links out to detailed cluster pages (which link back).
It usually targets a high-value head keyword.
Done well, it attracts backlinks and distributes authority.
