Topical authority — Building enough depth in one topic that the platform sees you as the go-to source.
Topical authority is what you build by covering a niche thoroughly — many videos around the same theme tell the algorithm (and viewers) that your channel is the place for that subject, which lifts all your related content.
It's a strong argument for niching down and publishing at volume: faceless workflows let you build deep, authoritative libraries fast.
Key points
