Domain Authority

TL;DR

Domain authority is a third-party score, originally from Moz, that estimates how likely a domain is to rank based on its backlink profile. Ahrefs and Semrush have similar metrics. Google doesn't use it.

How SaaStorm approaches it

Authority scores are useful for comparing sites quickly, but they're estimates. We don't set authority score targets for clients.

We track referring domains from relevant sites and rankings on target terms instead, because those connect to outcomes.

Turn search visibility into pipeline

We help European SaaS teams build an organic engine across SEO, AEO and content, measured in qualified pipeline.
