Content Pillar, explained in plain English
A pillar is the definitive guide to a topic you want to own — “content marketing” for example. Cluster pieces (shorter articles on subtopics like “social media calendars”) each link to the pillar and to each other. This hub-and-spoke structure signals topical authority to search engines and keeps readers moving through your site instead of back to Google.
