Ninety-plus pages per month is the volume at which a recruitment agency can build three or more topic clusters simultaneously while maintaining full depth in each. At this volume, a national agency targeting four or more geographies across three or more sectors produces enough pages per month to cover every combination of role type, seniority, and location without thinning any single cluster. Google evaluates each cluster independently, and thin coverage in any one of them suppresses rankings across all interconnected pages.
According to Kaizen SEO client data from 2026, agencies publishing 90+ pages per month reach comprehensive topical coverage across their primary sectors in an average of 3 to 4 months, compared to 9-12 months at 30 pages per month.
A typical month at 90 pages includes: three pillar pages covering one core topic per sector, twenty-one role-type and seniority landing pages across all sectors, fifteen geo-targeted spoke pages, twelve structured salary guides with FAQPage schema, twenty-one supporting blog posts, and eighteen candidate-facing pages. Every page links to its sector pillar and to at least two related supporting pages within the same cluster.
Why do recruitment agencies at 60 pages stall when expanding nationally?
At 60 pages, national expansion into new cities requires geo spoke pages that reduce the pages available for core sector content. Building geo spokes for five cities across two sectors at 60 pages per month produces roughly six geo pages per city, which is insufficient to build the location-specific cluster depth Google uses to rank agencies for city-specific role-type queries. Ninety pages resolves the constraint by providing enough volume for both sector depth and geographic breadth simultaneously.
Does 90+ pages a month risk cannibalisation on a recruitment website?
No, provided content is built within a planned cluster architecture where each page targets a distinct query intent. At 90+ pages, Kaizen SEO builds pages against a cluster architecture that assigns unique primary queries to each page, with internal links structured to pass authority to the correct pillar rather than splitting it across competing pages. The cluster architecture prevents cannibalisation regardless of volume.
When should I start at 90 pages rather than scaling up from 60?
Start at 90 pages rather than scaling from 60 when your agency operates in three or more sectors from day one, competes against national publishers already ranking for your primary terms, or is recovering from a long period of low publishing volume and needs to close a large content deficit quickly. At 90 pages per month, a content deficit closes roughly three times faster than at 30 pages, because cluster architecture builds faster and ranking signals accumulate across a larger page set.
