Start with a real customer problem
Write down the service, product, or task you want to support. Add the words a customer would use before they know your brand, then add the questions they might ask while comparing options.
The best starting phrases usually reveal a job to be done: checking, comparing, generating, fixing, learning, or calculating.
Group by intent, not just by word
Several phrases can belong on one page when they ask for the same outcome. Create a separate page when the format, audience, or expected answer is meaningfully different.
Use the Keywords Suggestion Tool for early variations and AI Keyword Cluster Ideas to create a first grouping. Treat the output as a planning aid, then refine it with your knowledge of the audience and the actual search results.
Build a hub-and-spoke structure
A broad guide can introduce a subject, while focused pages answer specific questions. Link from the guide to the focused pages and back again with natural, descriptive anchors.
Do not force a link into every paragraph. A smaller number of useful links gives visitors a clearer next step and helps you keep the site structure understandable.

Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
How many keywords should one page target?
There is no fixed number. Focus on one primary intent and cover the closely related questions a visitor expects that page to answer.
What is a content cluster?
It is a connected group of pages organized around a broad topic, usually with a central guide and more focused supporting pages.
Should I publish every keyword variation?
No. Combine variations with the same intent and publish a new page only when it provides a distinct, useful answer.
