Domain Authority

Domain Authority (DA) is a search visibility metric that predicts how likely a website is to rank in search engine results compared to other websites. It is typically measured on a scale from 1–100, with higher scores indicating stronger ranking potential based on factors like backlinks, website credibility, and overall site strength. Domain Authority is a comparative metric rather than a direct Google ranking factor.
