Topical Authority
The degree to which a website is recognized as an expert on a particular subject.
Why It Matters
Sites with topical authority rank more easily for related keywords and earn trust from Google.
How It Works
By publishing comprehensive, interlinked content covering all aspects of a topic, you signal to search engines that your site is an authority. This involves creating content clusters with pillar pages and supporting articles.
Real-World Example
A site with 50 interlinked articles on email marketing ranks new email-related content faster than a generalist site.
Common Mistakes
Publishing one article on a topic and expecting authority
Covering too many unrelated topics that dilute authority
