Topical Authority

Measure Coverage, Depth, and Coherence Per Cluster

Each topic cluster in your authority map has three measurable dimensions. LLMRanky breaks down coverage percentage, depth score, and coherence rating for every cluster — pinpointing the exact weak spots where your topical authority breaks down.

Global authority scores hide the details that matter. A site can have 85% overall coverage but 30% coverage on a critical topic cluster. Depth analysis breaks down your authority at the cluster level, revealing which topics need new content, which need deeper content, and which need better interlinking.

Per-Cluster Stacked Analysis

Each cluster is displayed with three metrics stacked visually: coverage (green), depth (blue), and coherence (purple). The visual weight of each bar immediately communicates the relative strength of each dimension.

A cluster showing 88% coverage, 75% depth, and 92% coherence is performing well on all fronts. A cluster at 40% coverage, 55% depth, and 30% coherence has three simultaneous problems — each requiring a different type of content action.

The side-by-side cluster comparison reveals which topic areas are your authority strongholds and which are liability zones that undermine your overall expertise signal.

Surface Metrics vs. Deep Cluster Analysis

Global averages hide the clusters where authority collapses.

WITHOUT DEPTH ANALYSIS

Blind to Cluster-Level Weaknesses

Your overall authority looks healthy, so you assume every topic area is performing well. In reality, two of your five clusters have coverage below 50% — dragging down your authority signal on those topics and handing them to competitors.

Without per-cluster depth data, you create more content without knowing whether the problem is coverage, depth, or coherence. You might add five new articles when the real issue is poor interlinking.

WITH LLMRANKY DEPTH ANALYSIS

Precise Diagnosis Per Cluster

Three metrics per cluster give you a complete diagnosis. Low coverage? Create new content. Low depth? Improve existing articles. Low coherence? Add internal links and consistent terminology.

Each metric points to a specific action type. You invest exactly the right effort in each cluster — no wasted work, no guessing about what kind of improvement is needed.

Weak Spot Detection

The weak spot view filters your clusters to show only the dimensions that fall below acceptable thresholds. These are the specific areas where your topical authority is most vulnerable.

Each weak spot is linked to specific content recommendations: new articles for coverage gaps, content expansion for depth gaps, and interlinking actions for coherence gaps.

Addressing weak spots in priority order produces the fastest authority gains. One well-targeted action can lift an entire cluster from weakness to strength.

How Coverage & Depth Analysis Works

Three metrics per cluster, measured and diagnosed automatically.

1. Measure Per Cluster

Coverage, depth, and coherence are calculated independently for each topic cluster using citation data, position tracking, and site structure analysis.

2. Identify Weak Spots

Any dimension falling below the threshold is flagged as a weak spot. Thresholds are calibrated to your industry and competitive landscape.

3. Recommend Actions

Each weak spot generates specific recommendations: new content for coverage, content expansion for depth, or interlinking for coherence.
