How it works: Domain Authority
At Squirrels&Bears we believe in simplicity and we like to provide clear answers to your questions. In our #howitworks series we focus on simple explanations of various aspects of small business, highlighting the basic facts, what works and what doesn’t. And we hope to make your life a little easier.
The basics
- Domain Authority (DA) is a search engine ranking score developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engine result pages
- To calculate websites’ domain authority, Moz accounts for over 40 factors, like root domains and total number of inbound links
- To measure your domain authority, you can use MozBar, a free Chrome extension
- A DA score ranges from one to 100, with higher scores corresponding to a greater ability to rank calculated by evaluating multiple factors, including linking root domains and the number of total links, into a single DA score
- Free SEO tools like SEMrush Backlink Checker and Moz’s Link Explorer can help you measure your link profile’s health
Do
- Monitor your link profile’s health

- Use short sections and subheadings to make your posts easy to digest and SEO friendly
- Include visual content such as videos, infographics, and images
- Give your images ALT and title text containing relevant keywords
- Use title tags and meta descriptions to help search engines to find your site
