Topical Authority
The level of expertise and thorough coverage a website demonstrates on a specific subject, signaling to Google that the site is a trusted resource for that topic.
Why It Matters for Your Business
Google doesn't just rank individual pages. It evaluates whether your entire website demonstrates expertise on a topic. A single great page about "AC repair" on an otherwise empty site will lose to a competitor whose site has 15 pages covering AC repair, maintenance, installation, costs, and common problems.
For Space Coast businesses, topical authority is how you compete with national brands. A local HVAC company can't outspend a national chain, but they can out-depth them on Florida-specific HVAC content.
How It Works
Topical authority is built through thorough, interconnected content:
Think of it like a textbook. A website with one chapter on plumbing is a pamphlet. A website with 15 chapters, each linking to the others, covering every aspect of residential plumbing? That's the reference guide Google wants to recommend.
