Glossary Definition
Topical Authority
/ˈtɒp.ɪ.kəl ɔːˈθɒr.ɪ.ti/ noun
The degree to which a website is recognised by search engines and AI systems as a comprehensive, reliable source on a specific subject area. Built by publishing multiple interlinked pieces covering a topic from different angles — pillar pages, cluster pages, FAQ content, and comparison pages — rather than isolated posts on unrelated subjects. High topical authority improves ranking potential across all keywords in the topic area.
