Designing topic clusters around a real workflow

A topic cluster should follow the reader's work, not simply collect words that look related. Organize it from diagnosis through implementation to measurement.

A practical starting point

Work through these checks in order. Use the results to decide what needs to change in your own workflow.

  1. Map the stages of the task and the questions at each stage.
  2. Create a hub explaining how the articles connect.
  3. Link adjacent steps where the reader is likely to need them.
ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE

An AI assistant cluster can connect knowledge preparation, retrieval testing, permissions, escalation and rollout.

A mistake to avoid

Do not create dozens of near-identical articles to fill out a cluster.

How to check progress

Check whether the collection supports a complete workflow without repeating the same answer.

Your action checklist

Use this checklist while reviewing your own setup. Checkmarks are temporary and stay in this open page.

Need the wider workflow?

This quick note covers one decision. For a worked example, decision table and a fuller implementation workflow, read Turning customer questions into an editorial backlog.
