FAQ: Why is SEO Siloing crucial for improving website relevance?<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/a>What Is SEO Siloing?<\/h2>\n
SEO siloing is a search engine optimization technique that structures a website\u2019s content by grouping related webpages together in hierarchical categories based on how people search.<\/p>\n
The goal is to have the top of each silo be based on popular queries and to build a hierarchy containing content about that keyword. By having a concentration of content matching popular queries, you become a subject matter expert, satisfying the expertise component of E-E-A-T<\/a>.<\/p>\n
As an example, say you owned a website on power tools, and you sold cordless power tools, electric power tools, and gas-powered tools.<\/p>\n
You could set up your navigation in such a way that all the pages related to cordless power tools were in one silo or category, all the pages related to electric power tools in another, and all pages related to gas-powered tools in yet another (as illustrated below).<\/p>\n

<\/a>Why Do SEO Siloing?<\/h2>\n
SEO siloing helps to improve the relevancy of a website for desired search terms in order to rank better in the search engine results pages. It is a necessary method for establishing expertise.<\/p>\n
SEO siloing is a secret weapon in search engine optimization. It not only demonstrates to the search engines that a website is an expert on a topic, but it organizes content in a way that is designed for search engines to crawl and understand and for users to find and browse.<\/p>\n
Make it as easy as possible for users to go from general content to the more specific content they want on your site. Add navigation pages when it makes sense and effectively work these into your internal link structure. Make sure all of the pages on your site are reachable through links, and that they don’t require an internal “search” functionality to be found. Link to related pages, where appropriate, to allow users to discover similar content.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Make a site with a clear hierarchy<\/u> aligned by words users would type<\/u> and with pages containing a reasonable number of text links<\/u> that point to the important parts<\/u> of your site.<\/strong><\/p>\n

SEO siloing serves a dual purpose:<\/p>\n
\n
Siloing creates a good user experience for people when they come to a website \u2014 the content is easy to find and browse. This can result in more time on the website.<\/li>\n
Siloing helps search engines determine relevance, which better positions the site for ranking for its keywords.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
When a person searches for something on Google, for example, one of the ways that search engines determine the most relevant webpages for a search is by examining indexed webpages and then the overall website structure.<\/p>\n
This can help determine if a website has enough supporting content for the keywords\/search terms used (in other words, the search engine is assessing if the website is an authority). Clearly organized content helps create relevance.<\/p>\n
The navigation of a website is important in helping visitors quickly find the content they want. It can also help search engines understand what content the webmaster thinks is important. Although Google’s search results are provided at a page level, Google also likes to have a sense of what role a page plays in the bigger picture of the site.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Siloing is a foundational SEO technique that should be a part of any SEO strategy. While it is not the only factor in ranking, without it, the relevancy battle is lost.<\/p>\n
Plus, siloing has the ability to drive tangible results<\/a> as part of an SEO program, such as more visibility in the search results, more traffic, and more revenue.<\/p>\n
<\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2><a id=\"how-to-do-seo-siloing\"><\/a>How To Do SEO Siloing<\/h2>\nSiloing involves doing research on your website, your audience, and the search terms they would use when looking for your products, services, and information. Armed with that data, you can create a plan for how you will organize the content\/webpages on your website.<\/p>\n<h3>Finding a Theme<\/h3>\nYou first need to understand what the theme of your site is. Think of your website as a book and its navigation as chapters in the table of contents. If your website were a book, what would the theme be? What sort of chapters would support this theme?<\/p>\nThere are several questions you can ask yourself to discover the theme if you\u2019re stuck:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What services, products, or types of information do you offer? Each service, product, or category of information can be a silo.<\/li>\n<li>What topics are you currently ranking for?<\/li>\n<li>What search queries would your intended audience use to find your product, services, or information?<\/li>\n<li>What are some missed opportunities for how you could theme your site? (Check out the SEOToolSet\u00ae Single Page Analyzer and Multi Page Analyzer tools to help you discover this. We offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seotoolset.com\/tools\/free-tools\">free versions of these SEO tools<\/a>.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nBy the end of this exercise, you should have a better understanding of how to create organized silos, or categories, on your website based on things like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The products, services, and information you offer.<\/li>\n<li>The themes your website is already ranking for.<\/li>\n<li>The newly discovered opportunities for content based on keyword research and data discovered through SEO tools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Organizing the Topics, Site Navigation and Directories<\/h3>\nOnce you have a list of potential topics for your site, the major categories and subcategories will emerge and can be organized into silos. A silo can be physical or virtual, and we\u2019ll first talk about a physical directory silo. You can discover more in our SEO silo tutorial linked to at the end of this article.<\/p>\n<h4>Physical Silos<\/h4>\nGoing back to our power tools example, this fictional website has one major theme (power tools), supported by three major categories (cordless power tools, electric power tools, gas-powered tools), each of which has a landing page on the site.<\/p>\nThese categories also happen to be the search terms that the website wants to be found for, and they all support the more generic search term \u201cpower tools.\u201d Having this supporting content helps to make the site relevant for, and an authority on, power tools.<\/p>\nEach category consists of multiple subtopics, or webpages, that exist within the physical directory for that category on the site. Each subtopic supports the main category landing page.<\/p>\nFor example, electric drills, electric compressors, and electric saws all support the electric power tools category (and search terms for electric power tools).<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"425\" height=\"366\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-56081\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/siloing-sample-structure.jpg\" alt=\"Sample silo structure.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/siloing-sample-structure.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/siloing-sample-structure-300x258.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px\" \/> \nExample of a siloed website<\/em><\/p>\nThe visual above is a handy way to illustrate how the site\u2019s navigation will play out. Users will be able to navigate from one page to another by organizing landing pages that link to subpages for each category.<\/p>\nTechnically, however, it\u2019s the URL structure that creates the silo\u2019s physical directory. The URL structure can help search engines and users better understand what the categories are about by creating a sort of filing cabinet for the content.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"314\" height=\"479\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-83837\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/directory-structure.png\" alt=\"Example directory structure diagram.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/directory-structure.png 314w, https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/directory-structure-197x300.png 197w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 314px) 100vw, 314px\" \/> \nDirectory structure example, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Starter Guide, Google<\/em><\/p>\nFor example, in the power tools fictional website, the URL hierarchy structure for the cordless power tool category in the illustration shared earlier would look something like this:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>powertooldepot.com\/power-tools\/cordless (main landing page for cordless power tools category)<\/li>\n<li>powertooldepot.com\/power-tools\/cordless\/cordless-drills (supporting webpage for cordless power tools category)<\/li>\n<li>powertooldepot.com\/power-tools\/cordless\/cordless-planers (supporting webpage for cordless power tools category)<\/li>\n<li>powertooldepot.com\/power-tools\/cordless\/cordless-hammers (supporting webpage for cordless power tools category)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAs you can see, each category is organized neatly through a clear URL path. This creates a physical silo for the content. This is, of course, a highly simplified explanation, and there are other steps for consideration when creating a physical silo.<\/p>\n<h4>Virtual Silos<\/h4>\nThere is also another way to connect like-topics together on a website: the virtual directory. A virtual directory is created when one-page links to another page on the same site, say from the body content on the page.<\/p>\nYou would create a virtual directory when two pages on a website exist that are not in the same category, for example, but are still relevant to one another. Or when you are not able to create a physical directory for whatever reason.<\/p>\nFor example, on the power tools site, the electric saws page might mention the gas-powered tools category with a link to that landing page within the body content.<\/p>\nWhen you link two pages together via a text link within the content, it creates a connection between the two pages that should communicate relevance to search engines (and also direct users to a relevant page).<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"354\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-64846\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Cross-linking-in-a-Virtual-Silo.jpg\" alt=\"Cross-linking diagram for siloing.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Cross-linking-in-a-Virtual-Silo.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Cross-linking-in-a-Virtual-Silo-254x300.jpg 254w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\nYou can create entire virtual silos that mimic physical directories by strategically interlinking pages on a site. But it must be done carefully. If you interlink unrelated pages, such as the low-level electric saws page, with a low-level page from a different silo, you\u2019ve diluted the theme and blurred the lines of your virtual silos.<\/p>\nMore on virtual siloing can be found in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/seo\/siloing\/\">SEO Guide<\/a> and in our SEO silo tutorial linked to at the end of this article.<\/p>\n<h3>Creating Expert Content<\/h3>\nSilos become valuable when they have a good amount of supporting content on a topic to support search terms. But it needs to be quality content.<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/static.googleusercontent.com\/media\/guidelines.raterhub.com\/\/en\/searchqualityevaluatorguidelines.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">According to Google<\/a>, the highest quality webpages demonstrate expertise, authority, and trust.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"748\" height=\"292\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-83838\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/google-e-a-t.jpg\" alt=\"Google quality guidelines on E-A-T.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/google-e-a-t.jpg 748w, https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/google-e-a-t-300x117.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote>\u2026 the amount of expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (E-A-T) is very important. Please consider:<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>The expertise of the creator of the MC.<\/em> [editor\u2019s note: MC = main content]<\/li>\n<li>The authoritativeness of the creator of the MC, the MC itself, and the website.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>The trustworthiness of the creator of the MC, the MC itself, and the website.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\u2013Google, Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines<\/p><\/blockquote>\nIn its Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines, Google points out examples of how different types of websites can demonstrate E-E-A-T:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High E-E-A-T medical advice should be written or produced by people or organizations with appropriate medical expertise or accreditation. High E-E-A-T medical advice or information should be written or produced in a professional style and should be edited, reviewed, and updated on a regular basis.<\/li>\n<li>High E-E-A-T news articles should be produced with journalistic professionalism\u2014they should contain factually accurate content presented in a way that helps users achieve a better understanding of events. High E-E-A-T news sources typically have published established editorial policies and robust review processes …<\/li>\n<li>High E-E-A-T information pages on scientific topics should be produced by people or organizations with appropriate scientific expertise and represent well-established scientific consensus on issues where such consensus exists.<\/li>\n<li>High E-E-A-T financial advice, legal advice, tax advice, etc., should come from trustworthy sources and be maintained and updated regularly.<\/li>\n<li>High E-E-A-T advice pages on topics such as home remodeling (which can cost thousands of dollars and impact your living situation) or advice on parenting issues (which can impact the future happiness of a family) should also come from \u201cexpert\u201d or experienced sources that users can trust.<\/li>\n<li>High E-E-A-T pages on hobbies, such as photography or learning to play the guitar, also require expertise.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nYou want your siloed content to be perceived as high quality. Keep in mind that some topics do not require that the author have formal expertise to demonstrate E-E-A-T, according to Google:<\/p>\n<blockquote>Some topics require less formal expertise. Many people write extremely detailed, helpful reviews of products or restaurants. Many people share tips and life experiences on forums, blogs, etc.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>These ordinary people may be considered experts in topics where they have life experience. If it seems as if the person creating the content has the type and amount of life experience to make him or her an \u201cexpert\u201d on the topic, we will value this \u201ceveryday expertise\u201d and not penalize the person\/webpage\/website for not having \u201cformal\u201d education or training in the field.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nSo consider the topic of the page. Ask yourself what kind of expertise is necessary to fulfill the page’s purpose. Remember that the amount and type of expertise needed depends on the subject matter.<\/p>\n<h4>Optimizing Silo Content<\/h4>\nCreating expert content is the foundation, but there are still tactics you can use that will optimize the silo\u2019s content further for users and search engines. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Know how much to write based on the top-ranked pages for a keyword or search query.<\/strong> For example, if the top-ranked pages for a term have 1,000 words, then the goal is to meet or exceed that word count.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Know the best reading level for the content. <\/strong>If all the top-ranked pages are written at a fifth-grade level, then the goal is to stay within that level of readability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Write to mobile users. <\/strong>Mobile traffic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/277125\/share-of-website-traffic-coming-from-mobile-devices\/\">accounts for more than 50 percent of website traffic<\/a>. Think about how to break up the content into digestible paragraphs (sometimes one or two lines) for ease of reading on a mobile device.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Optimize the content.<\/strong> Ensure the keywords\/search terms are woven throughout the page, including in the meta information and body content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nOur <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/seo\/tools\/\">SEOToolSet<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/seo\/tools\/bruceclayseo\/\">Bruce Clay SEO plugin for WordPress<\/a> can help content creators with these details as they write.<\/p>\nFor more on SEO siloing, check out our complete step-by-step <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/seo\/silo\/\">SEO silo tutorial<\/a> that expands on the concepts within this article.

One of the advanced techniques gaining traction is SEO Siloing. This method involves organizing website content in a structured manner, which plays a pivotal role in boosting website relevance.<\/p>\nThe Significance of SEO Siloing<\/strong><\/p>\nSEO Siloing is a strategic approach to content organization. It involves categorizing related topics and keywords into distinct sections or “silos” on your website. Each silo acts as a thematic cluster, containing content that revolves around a central keyword or topic. By doing so, you create a clear and logical hierarchy for both search engines and visitors. This organization facilitates easier navigation and better user experience, which are fundamental to improving website relevance.<\/p>\nSEO Siloing and Search Engine Ranking<\/strong><\/p>\nOne of the primary reasons why SEO Siloing is crucial is its impact on search engine ranking. When search engines crawl your site, they recognize the logical structure created through silos. Understanding context and relevance is straightforward. Your website will more likely rank for relevant keywords that drive organic traffic and increase its visibility, increasing its chances of ranking well for them and driving additional visibility.<\/p>\nEnhanced User Experience<\/strong><\/p>\nBeyond its SEO benefits, SEO Siloing significantly enhances user experience. Visitors to your website can quickly find the information they need, reducing bounce rates and increasing engagement. When users easily navigate through your silos, they are more likely to stay longer on your site, explore related content, and even convert into customers or subscribers.<\/p>\nMaintaining and Updating Silos<\/strong><\/p>\nWhile SEO Siloing offers numerous advantages, it’s essential to note that it requires ongoing maintenance and updates. As your website grows and evolves, so should your silos. Regularly reviewing and refining your content structure ensures that it remains relevant and effective in keeping your website at the top of search engine results.<\/p>\nSEO Siloing is a powerful strategy for improving website relevance. By structuring your content logically and categorically, you enhance your SEO efforts and provide a seamless user experience. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, mastering SEO Siloing can be the key to maintaining a competitive edge and ensuring your website remains at the forefront of your target audience’s online searches.<\/p>\nStep-by-Step Procedure for Implementing SEO Siloing:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Keyword Research: Conduct thorough keyword research to identify relevant keywords and topics for your website.<\/li>\n<li>Content Audit: Analyze and categorize your existing content based on the identified keywords and topics.<\/li>\n<li>Create Silos: Group related keywords and content into distinct silos or categories.<\/li>\n<li>Hierarchy Development: Establish a clear hierarchy within each silo, organizing content logically.<\/li>\n<li>Internal Linking: Implement internal linking within each silo to connect related content and reinforce the thematic structure.<\/li>\n<li>Optimize On-Page SEO: Ensure that each page within a silo is optimized for its specific keyword or topic.<\/li>\n<li>Navigation Enhancement: Improve website navigation by incorporating silo-based menus or sidebars to access related content easily.<\/li>\n<li>XML Sitemap Creation: Generate XML sitemaps for each silo to assist search engines in crawling and indexing your content.<\/li>\n<li>Regular Content Updates: Continuously update and expand the content within each silo to keep it relevant and engaging.<\/li>\n<li>Monitor Performance: Use analytics tools to track the performance of each silo, including keyword rankings and user engagement.<\/li>\n<li>Address SEO Issues: Address any SEO issues that may arise, such as broken links or duplicate content.<\/li>\n<li>User Testing: Conduct user testing to ensure the silo structure enhances user experience.<\/li>\n<li>Mobile Optimization: Ensure your silo structure is mobile-friendly for users on various devices.<\/li>\n<li>Adapt to Changes: Stay informed about SEO trends and adjust your silo structure accordingly.<\/li>\n<li>Competitor Analysis: Periodically analyze your competitors’ websites to stay competitive.<\/li>\n<li>User Feedback: Listen to user feedback and improve based on their suggestions.<\/li>\n<li>Content Quality: To establish authority, focus on providing high-quality content within each silo.<\/li>\n<li>Social Media Integration: Promote siloed content through social media channels to increase visibility.<\/li>\n<li>Regular Maintenance: Continuously maintain and update your silos to adapt to changing user needs and search engine algorithms.<\/li>\n<li>Measure Success: Regularly assess the impact of SEO Siloing on your website’s relevance and adjust your strategy as needed to achieve the best results.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What is SEO siloing?
