This is the framework that allows you to create content that ranks and gets traffic while also providing long-term SEO link-building growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conduct Keyword Research (Cluster Strategy)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create a main topic and supporting keyword clusters.

The correlation yields better insights into the relevance of enterprise search engines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create a pillar page that fully explains the main topic, and then write supporting blog posts about the more specific subtopics. You can link these supporting articles back to the pillar page and vice versa to build topic authority.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimize On-Page SEO<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Optimize each blog post with an SEO title, H2 and H3 headings, meta description, and of course, schema markup. Essentially, well-executed on-page optimization boosts visibility in search and click rates.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add Internal Links Strategically<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make contextual internal linking to link related blog posts.
