What domain authority means
Authority scores like Ahrefs' Domain Rating, Moz's Domain Authority and this one estimate the strength of a site's backlink profile: how many sites link to it and how strong those sites are. Google doesn't use any of these scores, but they correlate with how easily a site ranks.
Scales differ between tools, so only compare scores from the same tool. The most useful comparison is your site against the sites ranking for your target keywords.
Tips for using the domain rating checker
Compare with who ranks
Check the authority of the sites ranking for your keywords, not the biggest sites in your industry.
Raise it with relevant links
A few links from respected sites in your niche move authority more than many weak ones.
See where links come from
The backlink checker lists a site's strongest links.
Use it to choose keywords
Keywords with difficulty below your authority are realistic. The keyword difficulty checker does this comparison.

Domain Rating Checker FAQ
Where does the data come from?
From DataForSEO, which supplies search volumes from Google Ads data and live Google results to SEO tools worldwide. Every figure is real; when there's no data for a query, the tool tells you instead of guessing.
Is this the same as Ahrefs DR?
No. It's DataForSEO's domain rank divided by 10. It measures the same idea on a different scale.
Is it free?
Yes. Search-data tools are limited to 5 runs per person per day because each lookup costs us real data credits. Rankfly customers get this research done automatically for their whole site.
What is a good domain rating?
It's relative. 20+ is solid for a small business; what matters is how you compare with sites ranking for your keywords.
How do I increase domain authority?
Earn links from relevant, trusted sites: partners, industry publications, directories and resources people want to cite.
Does Google use domain rating?
No. It's a third-party estimate, but it correlates with how easily a site ranks.
