Online competition is intense. Popular topics are often crowded with brands that have invested in content strategy for years. To gain visibility, your content has to be well-organized, well-structured, and designed to cover the topic in depth. A content hub strategy is the key to success in such an environment. It lets you establish authority on a subject, sending signals to search engines and creating a better user experience. Semrush's Topic Research tool is an ideal place to start creating effective content hubs. By simply typing in a seed keyword, you can 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.
