    • Creates a clearer content architecture and internal link plan
    • Key tactic for programmatic SEO

    How to implement

    • Cluster by SERP overlap and intent similarity
    • Assign one primary page per cluster, others support via internal links
    • Connect glossary/tutorial/tools into clusters
