Demonstrated depth and breadth of expertise on a subject.

What it means

Topical authority is the degree to which a website is recognized as a comprehensive, trusted source on a particular subject area. It is built by covering a topic deeply and broadly with high-quality, interconnected content. Strong topical authority helps both search engines and AI systems associate your brand with a subject, increasing the likelihood of being retrieved and cited for related questions.
