Building an Authority website is more like building a website with trusted sources of valuable, accurate, and reliable information that can help guide people's decision-making process.

It involves understanding the needs of your target audience, developing quality content that appeals to them, and optimizing the general website, the look, feels, and content for search engines and human ease of navigation/readability

You also need to mirror other websites on your niche doing quite well, let's refer to them as your competitors, yes you need to take a look at what ''your competitors'' are doing right and how they are doing it and learn one or two things from them

See what they do very well. What makes their site authoritative? where they are rakings, keywords they are ranking very well and where most of their traffic are coming from, backlink sources, and many more. But don't copy the contents

If there are into products or services, do they provide testimonials from their customers? if yes learn what the customers are saying about them.

Do they use graphics and videos to engage with their audience? if yes lean on that, also learn how they handle search engine optimization (SEO), and don't forget that SEO is too important when it comes to building and ranking an authority website

Building Authority Website​

There are several authority websites out there doing quite well, most of the owners did not just wake up one day, and create a site like this, No.

Behind the success, behind the earnings, there are prices they paid for, sleepless nights, plenty of research, SEO, creating high-quality content, being patient, and many more, they hardly quit when the site is not yet ranking across search engines with zero earnings. They hardly quit


And when they start to gain success, make money from their authority niche website by making 1000-10,000K United States Dollars each month because they have taken proper actions in perfect timing, content creation, user engagement, rankings multiple keywords, several monetization, and many more.

That is another virtual you must possess, should you are planning on developing and building an authority website. So now let's proceed to the topic of the moment ''10 Steps To Building Authority Websites'' starting with step one ( Niche Selection)

1. Niche Selection​

When it comes to building an authority website, what should come first in your mind, is. Niche selection

Proper niche selection is important here as there are hundreds to thousands of niches one can build an authority website and is more proper, and profitable that you have a niche focus and try not to be that generic

While niche selection here simply means, the subset market on which your website is focusing. Let's say the area or category where your authority is focusing. You must choose a niche in, which you have passion, and knowledge and best feel comfortable, if possible a niche area with low competition.

2. Keyword research​

To gain success in building authority website, keyword research is too important. You need keywords to make your journey here a success. To get started with the process of narrowing down your authority website, try to understand your niches and gather keywords around them, create high-quality content targeting specific keywords


Though when it comes to gathering keywords, you can use google search results, Ahrefs, Semrush, and other SEO tools out there. The good thing here is you should take keywords very seriously if you want to achieve success in building competitive keywords for your authority site.

3. Choosing a Domain Name (Website Name)​

Name is everything, and even though any website name can get you started, don't just take the domain name (website name) selection here slightly, take your time to do proper domain name research and come up with easy-to-remember website name

You can also hire a professional website developer/ Marketer to carry out professional website research for you and help you optimize your domain name across search engine

When it comes to choosing a domain name, depending on your budget, I recommended choosing an old domain name over a fresh domain. But (If you don't have enough budget) otherwise you can start with Brand New Domains. Just keep in mind for brand new domains you have to wait 3-9 months to index and get ranked in the search engines sometimes.

4. Choose the Perfect theme (Template)​

There are virtually hundreds to thousands of themes and templates, so you may not create a theme or template yourself from scratch. So while choosing a theme or template, choose a unique, simple fast, lightweight theme or template for your project. Something so simple to humans and search engine bots

In this step, you have to choose the perfect theme for your site. Don't use a null theme if you have a plan for a long-time project. Your theme/template must not be a paid version. as you can get started with a Free theme or template and later upgrade to paid version possible when you have started earning

5. Choose A Good Hosting​

The decision to choose a web hosting provider for your website or application can be overwhelming. With so many different options

It is difficult to decide which host best fits your needs, while the basic important factors to consider when choosing the right web hosting provider are, the reliability of the hosting company, customer support, lightweight server, security, affordability, and more

6. Recommended plugins to use​

There are thousands of plugins to choose from that will benefit your website in several ways, while you don't need too many plugins, only but few if your website is running on WordPress.

You will need a good plugin for SEO, just a single SEO plugin, free or pad is ok, You will also need AAWP, and Pretty Link-Help to cloak your links, so they look less spammy. And you may need the W3 Total Cache-Caching plugin which will also help to speed up your website. There are other plugins you may need but have them in your mind, you only need a few necessary plugins, not all plugins

7. Recommended Pages To Add​

Today's website is all about blogging and publishing helpful content in line with your niche. While pages are important, You need pages like Contact Pages, Sitemap, Privacy Policy, Blog page, or weblog pages, you will also consider adding an Affiliate Disclaimer page

8. Social Media Integration​

Marketing is everything and here your authority site stands to gain from social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Wordsocio, Youtube, Instagram, and Pinterest

Not just Social media, you also stand a better chance of building your authority site web Forum platform, a classified platform with good daily traffic. To leverage both the social media and forum platforms, you should create social media accounts under your domain name on each of the platforms, then customize your profiles, add your website link and contact information and build engagement with social media users, as well as forum users

9. Content Writing​

When it comes to building authority websites, niche websites. Contents have been the king, you can function here by publishing quality content, as well as distributing them across the internet

Your Authority site is only as good as the quality of your content. If you remember from your initial research, one of the indicators that we could take over an authority niche was when a competing site had low-quality content. keep in mind a few things below.

• -Write and publish helpful content, optimized for both SEO and humans.
• -Avoid using AI content on your site, and avoid growing your portal using AI-generated content, write organic content no matter what
• -Post a few How-To or Comparison posts on your site for the first 2-3 months. (Depending on your niche
• -Once your site gets indexed across the search engine and starts getting organic traffics, you can post review articles, post, or thread (Depending on your niche)
• -To write content you should follow the Answer to any product objections. irrespective of the niche you are writing on. You may need to add links to sources
• -You should Highlight the benefits of each product or service featured on your website. Once you start listing a product or service on your website.
• -Give your final verdict and Link them to where to buy this product (If your authority site is monetized with an affiliate program) add your link using an engaging call to action

10. Final Important Notes:​

Growing an authority site is not an easy job No business startup is easy if you have been told is easy. Please don't believe the hype for such is not easy.

It takes time to build an authority website, it takes good budgeting, yes financial budget, it takes good SEO, list building, email marketing, contents marketing, and many others
