Content Pillar

A content pillar is a broad subject area that guides several related pieces of content. For a lawn care business, seasonal lawn maintenance might be a pillar covering mowing schedules, watering considerations, and preparation for changing weather. The purpose is to organize useful coverage around a theme rather than publish disconnected posts. A pillar page is a specific page format that may summarize the subject and link to detailed resources; the content pillar is the planning theme itself. Not every supporting topic needs an indexable page, especially when the information overlaps. A useful pillar helps an editor spot gaps and connect articles in ways that make sense to readers.
