This structured approach can improve your visibility in search engines, increase user engagement, and drive more organic traffic to your site.

Understanding Topical Authority

Topical authority refers to the depth of knowledge and expertise you demonstrate within a specific subject area. Google rewards websites that are authoritative on specific topics, ranking them higher in search results. This course will guide you through the process of building that authority using a topical map, making it clear to search engines—and your audience—that your site is the go-to resource for that topic.

It also helps search engines understand the relationships between different pieces of content, allowing them to rank your pages more effectively.

Creating a Topical Map for Your Website

The process of creating a topical map starts with understanding your niche and researching the topics relevant to it. You’ll then cluster those topics into main subjects and supporting subtopics.
