Service / Content Systems

Publish on a system, rank as a category.

Random posts ship a blog. A topical cluster ships a category. We build the pillar and spoke map, the internal-link graph, and the on-page brief so every piece of content reinforces the next and entity coverage compounds across the site.

Topical cluster planning

Every commercial target gets one pillar and a defined set of spokes, sized to the category and prioritized by intent value.

02 / Brief

On-page architecture

Heading hierarchy, entity coverage, and internal-link slots are part of the brief, not an afterthought the writer guesses at.

03 / Graph

Internal-link graph

Pillars push authority to spokes and back, with cross-cluster links wired where the buyer journey actually crosses.

Implementation
lib/content/cluster.tsTS
1// A topical cluster as a typed graph: one pillar, many spokes,
2// cross-links wired where buyer intent actually crosses.
3export interface Spoke {
4 slug: string;
5 title: string;
6 intent: "informational" | "commercial" | "transactional";
7 linksTo: string[];
8}

10export interface Cluster {
11 pillar: { slug: string; title: string };
12 spokes: Spoke[];
13}

15export const technicalSeo: Cluster = {
16 pillar: { slug: "/services/technical-seo", title: "Technical SEO" },
17 spokes: [
18 { slug: "/insights/core-web-vitals", title: "Core Web Vitals",
19 intent: "informational", linksTo: ["/services/technical-seo"] },
20 { slug: "/insights/canonical-tags", title: "Canonical tags",
21 intent: "informational",
22 linksTo: ["/services/technical-seo", "/services/international-hreflang"] },
23 ],
24};

An illustrative cluster modeled as data, not folklore. The same graph shape drives the breadcrumb, the related-reading rail, and the internal-link audit when wired to live spokes.
