I think topic clusters works good when you have enough quality content. Just making many pages will not give good results.

I think topic clusters make more sense over time A well connected site is usually easier for both users and search engines to understand

Yes, we've had success with topical clusters across several client websites. One recent example is a finance client, where we reorganized the content into clear topic clusters around core financial services and connected them with supporting articles through strategic internal linking. Alongside quality backlinks, we saw steady improvements in keyword rankings and organic visibility over the following months.
In our experience, you can usually start to notice movement within 6–12 weeks, while more competitive niches often take 3–6 months to show significant gains.
The biggest mistake is expecting topical clusters alone to do all the work - they're most effective when combined with solid on-page SEO, internal linking, and authority backlinks that reinforce the entire content cluster.

Instead of publishing unrelated articles, I create one detailed pillar page and then write supporting articles that cover specific subtopics. I connect them with relevant internal links so both users and search engines can easily navigate the content.
I am thinking about trying topic clusters as well but i am not sure what kind of results to expect has anyone here used this strategy on an existing website?
I'd really like to know how long it took before you noticed any meaningful improvements in rankings traffic or overall site performance real experiences would be really helpful

Typically 2 to 4 months. New websites (low DA): It takes about 3-6 months for Google to crawl all internal links, record the cluster structure, and update rankings.

I've had good results with topic clusters, especially on newer sites. The key isn't just creating related articles, but making sure they actually cover the topic in depth and are linked naturally.
As for timing, it really depends on the niche and how often Google recrawls your site. In my experience, it usually takes a few weeks to a couple of months before you can tell if it's making a difference.
