Clusters

Workflow

Clusters are topic groups that organize your articles and shape the URL structure of your public website.


What is a cluster?

A cluster groups related articles around a single topic, such as "SEO", "Product Updates", or "Company News". Each cluster has:

  • Name: The topic label shown in your workspace and on your website.
  • Description: An optional summary of what the cluster covers.
  • Tags: Comma-separated keywords that describe the topic.
  • Privacy setting: Whether the cluster is public or private.

Clusters are a flat list of topics, not nested folders. Each article belongs to one cluster — or to none.


Create a cluster

  1. Open the Articles tab.
  2. In the Clusters section, click Add cluster.
  3. Enter the cluster Name.
  4. Optionally add a Description and comma-separated Tags.
  5. Choose whether the cluster should be Private (hidden from public sites).
  6. Click Save.

When you create a cluster, Inkpilots automatically generates a slug from its name. The slug is unique within your workspace and does not change even if you later rename the cluster.


Public vs private clusters

  • Public cluster: Appears on your website with its own landing page. Its articles get clean, grouped URLs.
  • Private cluster: Never rendered on your public site. Its articles still exist in your workspace, but on the website they behave like articles without a cluster.

Toggle this setting per cluster in the Clusters section.


Assign articles to a cluster

  • While creating: Pick the cluster in the article creation dialog.
  • After creating: Move an existing article to a different cluster from the article list or editor.

Articles without a cluster are still published — they simply use a shorter URL and are not grouped on a cluster landing page.


Clusters and your website URL

Clusters define the folder-like part of your public URLs:

PageURL pattern
Cluster landing page/<cluster-slug>
Article inside a cluster/<cluster-slug>/<article-slug>
Article without a cluster/<article-slug>

For example, a public cluster with the slug seo and an article with the slug keyword-research is published at:

https://<workspace-slug>.inkpilots.com/seo/keyword-research
