What Is Topical Authority?
Topical authority means your website covers a subject in depth. Instead of writing a single article about AI search, you publish many related articles.
Example
Imagine learning about cooking. You would trust a chef who has written:
- 100 recipes
- cooking techniques
- kitchen equipment guides
More than someone who has written only one recipe. Search engines behave the same way.
How to Build Topical Authority
Create a topic cluster.
Example cluster:
