Frequently Asked Questions
What are the TopicalHQ leaderboards and how do rankings work?+
6 authority indices rank users based on different achievements: Total Capacity Allocation, Badge Count, Community Reputation, Content Published, Keywords Researched, and Partner Network. Rankings update in real-time as activities occur. Climb the indices by actively using the platform - research keywords, create content, participate in expert network, unlock certifications, and grow partnerships.
What do I get for ranking high on leaderboards?+
Top authority indices provide recognition, featured profiles, capacity allocation bonuses (10-25% extra dividends), exclusive credentials, priority support, early access to new features, and professional network influence. Monthly top 10 receive special recognition. Beyond tangible benefits, authority rankings showcase your SEO expertise to potential clients and partners.
Are authority indices global or category-specific?+
Both! Global indices show overall top performers across all metrics. Category-specific indices let you establish authority in your specialty area - become #1 in Community Authority even if not top overall. This makes recognition accessible for everyone, whether you focus on content creation, keyword research, expert network contributions, or professional certifications.
How often do leaderboard rankings update?+
Real-time updates! Your position changes immediately when you receive capacity allocation, unlock certifications, publish content, or complete any tracked activity. Watch your rank climb as you work. Historical snapshots are saved monthly, so you can track progress over time and see how you've improved from month to month or year to year.
Can I see detailed stats for top-ranked users?+
Yes! Click any profile to see public stats: total capacity allocation, certifications unlocked (with visual display), content published count, keywords researched, community reputation score, partner network size, and activity timeline. This transparency lets you learn from top performers, identify strategies that work, and get inspired by success stories.
Can I track authority rankings with my team?+
Yes! Create private authority groups to benchmark with specific users - track your agency team's performance, compare with professional peers, or monitor internal progress. Set custom goals, track group metrics, and identify top performers. Private indices make the platform more valuable for teams and professional development.
