Category-led content
Built around product, service and topic themes, not brand-led mentions.
Built for Category Authority
Build relevance around target pages and topics.
Category Authority is different from the branded solutions: the content is informational and non-branded. The article topic, publisher fit, anchor context and target URL build relevance around the category rather than featuring the brand.
Focus on categories
Use this path when the goal is stronger visibility around category, niche, service or topic themes rather than the brand name.
Keep the article useful
Publish useful topic-led content that can naturally support a contextual target-page reference.
Support key pages
Point relevance and authority toward the service, product, category or content page that needs more support.
Build topical association
Use article topics, anchors and nearby language to reinforce the intended category context responsibly.
Informational Setup
Build the brief around the category topic.
This solution does not use brand-led mentions, custom images or quotes. The setup centres on target URLs, anchors, topics, exclusions and relevant publishers.
Informational content
Use non-branded articles where the topic leads and the target URL is linked contextually.
Target URL and anchor
Set the page and anchor direction that should receive contextual support.
Topic and context controls
Use article direction, exclusions and nearby keyword guidance to keep the content relevant and natural.
Purpose-Built Features
Built for non-branded category authority.
The setup prioritises the controls that matter for category authority work: informational content, target pages, anchors, topical relevance and responsible context guidance.
Topic-first content
Use explainers, guides and useful articles where the topic carries the article, not the brand.
Page-level support
Support specific service, category, product or content pages with contextual links.
Natural link context
Set anchor text that fits the article and reinforces the intended search context.
Responsible association
Use nearby keyword guidance carefully when you need more association around important terms.
Relevant surroundings
Use Smart Select™ or DA tiers to balance relevance, traffic, authority and quality.
Track delivered URLs
Review live URLs, anchors, domain metrics and campaign status from the account area.
Planning Fit
Keep the article non-branded and useful.
The buyer still gets placement control, but the content should read as useful informational material. That protects quality while giving the target page relevant link support.
Good ranking fits
Useful for service pages, category pages, buying guides, comparison topics, niche pages and informational resources that need stronger topic association.
Responsible keyword context
Use keywords near anchor only when it improves relevance naturally. Do not force keyword stuffing into the article.
