Authority Network America: Site Directory
The Authority Network America site directory maps the network's structure from this hub through the division hubs and into the topic sites that make up the bulk of the network's reference content. This page describes what each layer covers and provides the entry points for navigating into the network's two major sectors.
Network structure
The network is organized in layers. This site sits at the top as the hub. Below it, two division hubs each organize a major sector of the US service economy. Below the division hubs, over 1,200 individual topic sites publish reference content on specific service categories, geographic regions, and industry specializations.
| Layer | Sites | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Hub | 1 (this site) | Network overview, editorial standards, vertical index |
| Division hubs | 2 | Sector-level organization and cross-vertical reference |

From a division hub, navigate to the national-level topic site for the relevant vertical, then follow links downward to state or local coverage if geographic specificity is needed.
Readers who arrive at a topic site directly through search can navigate upward through the hierarchy using the "In the network" section present on every page, which shows the site's parent, division hub, and hub connections.
