Build authority in a new niche

Search engines treat subdomains as independent entities — the backlinks and authority from your main domain won’t transfer over. This creates a fresh foundation to establish dominance in your new niche or market segment.

Imagine you’re an entrepreneur with three revenue streams: a baking membership community, a copywriting course, and a series of business ebooks.

These offerings target different customer segments with unique search behaviors. Instead of lumping your three business lines together on one domain — which risks confusing visitors and diluting your site’s authority — create subdomains with each strategically positioned to build targeted authority.
