Topical Authority Made Simple

A topical map is a visual representation of the main topics, subtopics, and supporting content within your industry. It allows you to clearly outline the scope and depth of your knowledge and expertise, and helps you organize and present your content in a logical and easily digestible way.

This course is designed to help you establish your site as a topical authority by creating and using a comprehensive topical map. Throughout the course, you'll learn how to research, organize, and present your content in a way that showcases your expertise and builds credibility to users and search engines.
