Automatically link subtopic content to your pillar page

For content attached to a topic in the SEO tool, the pillar page link module adds an internal link to the pillar page in the SEO tool. Search engines use crawlers to become familiar with different websites, and internal links lead these crawlers from your subtopic content to your pillar page.

Please note: for the pillar page link module to populate, the pillar page for that topic must be published.

The module generates a link to your pillar page in a module container that says: Topic: Core topic, with the core topic name linking to the pillar page. The content of this module can be customized on the template or an individual page or blog post.

Add the pillar page link module to your template

• In your HubSpot account, click the Marketplace icon marketplace in the main navigation bar.
• Click Asset Marketplace. 
• Under the search bar, click Modules.

 

• Use the search bar to search for the Pillar Page Link module.
• In the top right, click Get module for free.
• Add this module to a page or blog template. The module will be included on new content created with this template. Any existing content created with this template will be updated to include the module.
