Pillar pages are structured around the concept of topic clusters. Instead of choosing long tail keywords you choose broad topic areas you want to rank for. Then you create content based on keywords related to the topic that all link to each other so that you create a broader authority with search engines. The benefit of this structure is that it is more deliberate in organizing and linking together URLs that relate to a cluster of topics. This in turn assists your site in getting more pages ranked in Google and helps searchers to locate your content more easily.

Making yourself known and building an online presence prior to launching your product will ensure your company doesn’t get crushed by larger entities. If people already know who you are, being first to market will carry weight. Here’s how to do it.
