The online competition for popular content topics is intense. To gain visibility and deliver results, your content must be able to cover a topic in depth—and be well organized, well structured, and well designed. That's why a content hub strategy—establishing you as an authority on a topic—succeeds in this competitive environment. Semrush's Topic Research tool is an ideal starting point for creating effective content for hubs. Simply type in a seed keyword: You can then find relevant topics with good search potential; filter the results based on the topic's popularity, ranking difficulty, and efficiency; and select subtopics to enhance your topic clusters.
