Definition
Topic coverage is enough depth on a subject without near-duplicate pages. Extra URLs that repeat one thin template are not additional coverage of that subject.
Short answer
Topic coverage means the site goes deep enough on a subject without manufacturing near-duplicate URLs. Page count alone does not create that depth.
What to check
- Require real depth on the subject
- Reject near-duplicate URLs as coverage
- Count distinct pages, not clones
- Keep coverage separate from page count
What this does not claim
Deeper topic coverage does not guarantee positions or AI citations. Mika does not guarantee that avoiding near-duplicate URLs will produce a place in search results.
A practical example
Suppose one page explains a product line with real depth, and more URLs repeat that same thin template with only the title changed. The first page can count as topic coverage, and the copies are near-duplicates rather than additional coverage.
