Avoid keyword cannibalisation. It is one of the most common and most damaging mistakes in content strategy.

Write it comprehensively, structure it with a clear H2\/H3 hierarchy, and include placeholder internal links where cluster content will eventually live.

If a cluster article doesn\u2019t go deeper than the pillar section it supports, it creates keyword cannibalisation instead of authority.
