What is SEO Authority?
SEO Authority refers to how much Google trusts a certain website based on a combination of demonstrated on-site expertise, as well as the quality of the website’s mentions off-site. The higher a website’s authority is, the easier it will rank.
How do I build SEO authority?
To build SEO authority, you must demonstrate that you’re an expert in your industry or niche: publishing case studies, awards, certifications, testimonials, and unique content related to topics of interest in your field. Then, you should also foster relationships with media publishers that will help your content get seen and reviewed by a third party to boost your credibility.
How do I measure my website SEO authority?
To measure your SEO authority, you should measure the time a new content piece needs to rank somewhere in the top 10 or 20 positions on Google, look at the volume and ranking difficulty for keywords you captured, and see how many unique SERP features (PAA snippets, featured snippets, carousels, etc.) your content is getting.
