No Pillar Page for Sports Highlights

No central hub page exists to aggregate and organize all sports highlight videos for better SEO and navigation.

By Seoxpert Editorial · Published

Why it matters

Without a pillar page, related highlight pages miss out on consolidated internal linking, diluting ranking signals and making navigation harder for users. Search engines may struggle to identify a primary authority page for the topic, reducing the site's topical relevance and discoverability.

Impact

Leaving this unresolved weakens both user experience and the site's ability to rank for sports highlight-related queries.

How it's detected

An automated crawler detects multiple sports highlight pages without a central hub or pillar page aggregating them and linking structure pointing to it.

Common causes

  • •Lack of content strategy for topic clustering
  • •Overlooking the importance of hub pages in site architecture
  • •Focusing on individual match pages without considering aggregation
  • •No internal linking plan from highlight pages to a central hub

How to fix it

Create a dedicated pillar page at https://www.vg.no/sport/highlights with an H1 title, a concise topic summary, value proposition, supporting evidence, and a clear call to action. Ensure this page is linked from the homepage and from each individual sports highlight page. Update internal links to point to the new hub, establishing it as the central authority for sports highlights.

Code examples

Before: No pillar page or internal links

<!-- Individual highlight page example -->
<a href="/">Back to homepage</a>
<!-- No link to a sports highlights hub -->

After: Adding a pillar page and internal links

<!-- Individual highlight page example -->
<a href="/sport/highlights">See all sports highlights</a>
<!-- Pillar page at /sport/highlights aggregates all highlights -->
