What content strategy & topical authority involves
Content strategy is deciding what your business should publish, in what order, and to what standard, so that search engines and answer engines recognise you as an authority on a defined subject. It replaces occasional blogging with a mapped set of pages that cover a topic completely, each written answer-first, attributed to a named expert and linked into a coherent structure.
In Bideford that usually means working with independent retail and hospitality, construction and trades and marine and quay businesses, so content strategy & topical authority here is shaped around the enquiries those businesses actually get — not a template applied to every town in Devon.
Why this matters in Bideford
