How to Create an In-Depth Content Hub
By Neil Patel
Competition for search engine ranking is fierce, with the top three search results owning 55% of all traffic.
And the first result? They take almost 29% of those clicks.
So how do you get your website to that coveted first spot? By understanding how Google works and how to give them exactly what they’re looking for.
A content hub is a great way to show search engines that your site is an authority on a certain topic. Hubs are a collection of all your content on a specific subject, and they’re designed to be a comprehensive resource on that topic.
