Last week we talked about silo structures, which consist of pillar posts and support posts. This week I talk to you a little more about Support posts.Support posts are critical elements to reinforcing your authority on Google (and with your readers!) These are the posts that “dive deep” on the information you casually mention in your pillar content.If you're a new blogger – starting with a topic cluster plan, and then developing pillar and support posts for those topics, is how you win the game and gain traction quickly.If you're an established blogger with hundreds (thousands?) of posts already, I implore you to do a site audit and understand where the gaps are in your silo structures… they you've got a content plan for the next few months.If you already have a topic cluster approach in place – GOOD FOR YOU! Woot! I also explain how I doubled down on a particular cluster to move up FIVE places on Google within just a few days!I also explain HOW I create my support posts.Hint: Keyword Research is still critical.My tools of choice include SEMrush and/or RankIQ. Here are links for these tools.https://www.semrush.com/lp/sem/en/?ref=2017039287&utm_campaign=aio_campaign&utm_source=berush&utm_medium=promo&utm_term=23 https://www.rankiq.com/?fpr=leslipetersonWant my blog post update checklist for FREE??

Building silos of content on your site is an effective and easy way to build authority and expertise with your readers and with Google. The problem is that most bloggers don't go deep enough on the content they write. You need authority in your niche, but also on every topic you write about within that niche.In this video I give you an example of "going deep" on a hyperlocal travel site - but the concept applies to every niche out there.Auditing your silos is just ONE part of the blog post update strategy.
