See the gaps before a reader does

Frase shows what your topic still has to cover

A cluster is only as strong as the subtopics it answers. Frase reads the results already ranking for the topic, names the questions and sections your coverage is missing, and turns each one into a brief you can write. The map keeps every pillar and supporting page in view, so you build depth on purpose instead of by accident.

  • Frase names the missing subtopics, drawn from what is already ranking
  • Each gap becomes a brief you can draft in the same workspace
  • You choose what to act on. Nothing changes in your plan without you

Part of the loop

The topic you map, the pages you write, and the scores you optimize against all live together, so building a cluster stays organized instead of scattering across a planning app, a doc, and a tracker.

Frase researches the topic, maps the cluster, and drafts each piece in your brand voice.

What Frase does

Everything it takes to cover a topic, not just a keyword

Frase keeps the pillar, the supporting pages, the briefs, and the gaps in one map, so the work of building a cluster happens in a single place instead of a spreadsheet and a stack of tabs.

Maps your whole topic at a glance

Frase draws your clusters as a visual map: the pillar page at the center, supporting content and briefs around it, and anything still unclustered set aside. You see the shape of your coverage in one view.

Names the pillar and the supporting cast

Pick the page that anchors a topic and Frase treats it as the pillar, then organizes the supporting content that links into it. The hierarchy is explicit, so the structure reads the way Google and readers expect.

Finds the subtopics you are missing

Frase reads the results ranking for your topic and surfaces the questions and sections your cluster has not answered yet, so you fill real gaps instead of guessing at what to write next.

Turns a gap into a brief you can draft

Click a missing subtopic and Frase builds a brief from it, ready to research and write in the same workspace. New pieces land in the cluster they belong to.

Suggests where each piece fits

When you add content or a brief, Frase matches its topic and keywords against your existing clusters and suggests the best home, with the reason. You accept or send it elsewhere.

Works in your market's language

Plan, research, and write cluster content in 70+ languages, so a team building authority beyond English does it the same way it does at home.

Stop stitching point tools

A connected topic, not a folder of loose posts

Most teams plan clusters in a spreadsheet, write in a doc, and hope the internal links and gaps sort themselves out. Frase keeps the plan, the pages, and the gaps in one map that stays current as you publish.

The fragmented way

  • Sketch the cluster in a spreadsheet that goes stale the day after you build it.
  • Guess which subtopics you are missing, or comb competitor sites by hand.
  • Find a gap, then start a brief from scratch in a different tool.
  • Sort new posts into topics by hand and lose track of what links to what.

The Frase way

  • Frase keeps a live map of your pillars, supporting pages, and briefs as you publish.
  • Frase reads what is ranking and names the gaps your cluster still has to fill.
  • Frase turns a gap straight into a brief you draft in the same workspace.
  • Frase suggests the right cluster for each new piece, with the reason, for you to confirm.

Map a real topic in your first session

Start a trial, point Frase at a topic you want to own, and watch it map the cluster, surface the subtopics you are missing, and stand up the briefs to fill them.

Questions about topic clusters

What is a topic cluster?

A topic cluster is a pillar page covering a broad subject plus the supporting pages that answer its subtopics, all linked together. Covering a topic this thoroughly signals depth to Google and to readers, and it helps the whole group rank rather than a single page fighting alone. Frase gives you a map to plan and build that structure on purpose.

Does Frase build my clusters automatically?

Frase proposes, you decide. When you add a piece of content or a brief, Frase matches its topic and keywords against your existing clusters and suggests where it fits, with the reason. You accept the suggestion, pick a different cluster, or leave it unclustered. Nothing is reorganized without your say-so, and the bulk organizer even previews its moves before applying any.

How does Frase find content gaps in a cluster?

Frase reads the results already ranking for your topic and surfaces the questions and subtopics your cluster has not covered yet. Those gaps show up as opportunities you can turn into a brief in one click, so you fill the holes that matter instead of guessing what to write next.

Can I see how my content is connected?

Yes. The cluster map is a visual view of your pillars, supporting content, briefs, and anything still unclustered. You can see the shape of each topic at a glance and tell which pieces anchor a cluster and which support it.

How do I create content to fill a gap?

Click a missing subtopic and Frase builds a brief from it, then you research and write the page in the same workspace, in your brand voice. The new piece lands in the cluster it belongs to, so the structure stays intact as you publish.

Does cluster content help my pages get cited by AI search?

Thorough topic coverage helps with both Google and AI search. As you write each piece, Frase shows a GEO score alongside the SEO score, so you can see how the page reads to AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini. See GEO content optimization for the full picture on getting cited.

Does Frase work in languages other than English?

Yes. You can plan clusters, research, and write content in more than 70 languages, so teams building authority in German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and beyond use Frase the same way they do in English.
