Keyword Clustering
Grouping related search queries using semantic similarity so content can target intent without cannibalizing rankings.
Keyword clustering groups related queries by meaning so you can target a single page to multiple intents instead of creating overlapping posts. It reduces cannibalization and focuses content around themes.
Teams use clustering to plan content hubs, map keywords to pages, and prioritize briefs. It surfaces which queries belong together and which deserve standalone pages.
In workflows, clustering happens after keyword research and before brief creation. It keeps site architecture clean, improves rankings, and streamlines internal linking.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create clusters?
Use semantic similarity (embeddings) or SERP overlap to group keywords. Then validate manually for intent alignment.
When should a keyword get its own page?
When intent is distinct or volume/value justifies dedicated coverage. If intents overlap, keep them in one page.
How does clustering prevent cannibalization?
By consolidating related queries into one page, you avoid competing pages for similar terms. It clarifies which URL should rank.
Can I automate clustering?
Yes—use embeddings or SERP similarity tools to propose clusters, then have humans review edge cases and finalize.
How often should clusters be refreshed?
Revisit quarterly or when SERPs/intent shift. Update clusters as products or audience language change.
How do clusters feed briefs?
Each cluster becomes a brief with headings covering key queries and questions. Internal links connect sibling clusters.
Do low-volume keywords belong in clusters?
Yes, if intent matches. Long-tail queries enrich the page and improve relevance; avoid bloating with off-topic terms.
How do I measure success of clustering?
Track rankings and clicks per cluster page, reduced cannibalization, and improved engagement. Watch if multiple pages still rank for the same term.
Should clusters influence navigation?
They can—build hubs and supporting pages that mirror clusters, making navigation and internal links reinforce themes.
