You know how much you hate it when your favorite band gets too popular because it's that much harder to get concert tickets? Online competition for keywords is just as intense. Popular topics are often crowded with brands that have invested in content strategy for years (read: veterans). To gain visibility, your content has to be well organized and structured, as well as designed to cover the topic in depth. A content hub is what you need. 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 the ideal place to start. By simply typing 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 so you get a front row seat to the show. Yeah, you're kind of a big deal.
