Planning Content Hub

Step 1: Choose Hub Topic

2. Check "People Also Ask"
3. Analyze competitor hubs
4. Customer questions
5. Topic clustering tools

Step 3: Map Structure

Create visual map:
[Hub] → [Spoke 1] → [Sub-spoke 1.1]
                  → [Sub-spoke 1.2]
     → [Spoke 2] → [Sub-spoke 2.1]
     → [Spoke 3] → [Sub-spoke 3.1]
Use mind mapping tools.

Step 4: Keyword Assignment

For each page:
- Primary keyword
- Secondary keywords
- Search volume
- Intent
- Priority
No keyword overlap between pages.

Hub page should:
- Cover topic comprehensively
- Be long-form (3,000-10,000 words)

Hub Page Linking

Internal links:

- Table of contents links

Creating Spoke Pages

Spoke Content

Each spoke should:
- Deep-dive one subtopic
- Be comprehensive for that subtopic

- Answer specific questions

Spoke Structure

Spoke: "Keyword Research Guide"

Intro (link to hub for context)

Internal links to related spokes:

"See our On-Page SEO guide"

Link back to hub at end

Spoke-to-Spoke Linking

Example links:

On-Page SEO → Technical SEO
Technical SEO → Site Speed
Create logical connections.

Internal Linking Structure

Hub to Spokes

From hub page:
"For detailed keyword research strategies,
see our complete Keyword Research Guide."
Every spoke should have at least
one link from hub.

Spokes to Hub

From each spoke:
"This is part of our complete SEO Guide.
See the main guide for overview."
Creates strong hub page.

Spoke to Spoke

Connect related topics:
"After keyword research, you'll need
to implement On-Page SEO strategies."
Contextual, helpful links.

Link Placement

Natural locations:
- Within body text
- End of sections

Avoid: Random links without context.

URL Structure

Clean Hierarchy
