Content and brand
A cluster is a group of pages on one theme, with a main page explaining the topic broadly and separate pages each covering one sub-question in depth.
The main page answers the broad question and links to the supporting pages; those link back and to each other. That way visitors, search engines and AI assistants all understand how the topic hangs together.
In practice: one page per query, never two pages answering the same thing, and internal links whose text tells you what you will find there.
Tip
Merge thin pages around the same keyword into one strong page that finishes the question properly. That way your pages stop competing with each other.
