Coming up with new SEO strategies that work can be tricky. With topical authority—an idea of creating high-quality, original content that fully covers a topic—we wanted to focus on making our client a trustworthy authority in dentistry.
The website for Drs. Olsen, Napolitano, and Cangialosi was one of the first clients we would employ this strategy on. We began writing content section by section, starting with dental implants. Each one of these pages was carefully written to correspond with one another but still possessed enough unique information on every page.
After adding a few sections, we patiently waited to see better results. We did start to see small upticks in traffic, but we were also battling Google Core updates at the time. That’s when we decided to also start blogging to further support the topical authority content. When monitoring progress, we used tools such as Google Search Console, SE ranking for keyword tracking, and Google Analytics.
These were spreadsheets that were created to detail how many pages we needed to fully cover each topic.
Once our topical maps were created, the content was written. Each dentistry topic varied between 15 and 30 pages of content. We then also created general dentistry blogs in support of the other information we had already covered.
When using a topical authority approach, your pages need to connect. Every page features internal links with optimized anchor text, ensuring users (and Google) can access each page when needed.
Each page within topical authority focuses on one single idea—however, including sub-keywords and long-tail keywords within each page is essential. For example, for a page about dental implants and smoking, the main keyword is “dental implants and smoking.” However, a focus on secondary keywords such as “smoking and dental implants,” “can I smoke after dental implants,” etc, allows the best chance for more organic traffic.
For this particular client, we added one to three blogs weekly to add additional information that supported the topical authority content.
Just like any other SEO strategy, topical authority won’t get you a plethora of website traffic overnight. It took many months of tweaking our strategy and uploading new pages to see upward movement. However, by May 2023, we started to see promising results.
Impressions for this website were now sitting around 7,000 a day—a 133% increase from January 2023. Throughout the next few months, we saw ebbs and flows of traffic due to Google Core updates. However, we never saw our numbers drop below where we started.
As of February 2024, we had reached a new high of 406 clicks in one day and over 13,000 impressions.
Along with an increase in organic traffic, we also witnessed a vast improvement in organic rankings for keywords. In January 2023, our client ranked organically for 2,465 keywords, but as of January 2024, they ranked for 8,477 keywords. That’s a 243% increase.
By utilizing keyword tracking tools, we’re able to monitor the position fluctuations of specific keywords. Drs. Olsen, Napolitano, and Cangialosi have earned many number-one search position spots, along with numerous spots in the top 3—aiding in website traffic.
