Auto-pilot cluster builder uses AI, NLP and realtime keyword data to analyse, curate and select keywords that work well together for your chosen topic. The engine will do it's best to select a combination of short-tail and long-tail keywords to avoid cannibalization.

The platform doesn't prevent you from defining clusters that overlap, so if you're not careful it's possible that you might cause cannibalization between the articles in different clusters. We recommend you construct a topical map and follow a content strategy to make sure that your clusters work well together.

You can use our other tool to construct a powerful topical map to work from.

Creating an auto-pilot cluster

Auto-pilot clusters can be created using the Auto-Pilot Cluster option

You can choose from different sizes of cluster, with varying number of articles. Which size you choose requires some understanding of your underlying topic - if you're not sure, choose small or medium to be on the safe side.

The region is an advanced setting that controls how the platform analyzes keywords. You should only choose a different region if you know for sure that there is enough search volume there to make it useful. If you're not sure, leave it as Global for best results.

When you select your cluster size, the platform will do a whole bunch of magic and construct a winning cluster for you

That's it, you now have a powerful content cluster!
