What is Domain Authority (DA)?

Domain Authority is a 0-100 search-engine ranking score developed by Moz. It predicts how well a website will rank on Google's search results pages, calculated from the quality and quantity of inbound backlinks. Higher DA = better SEO authority. A DA above 50 is excellent for most niches.

How to improve your Domain Authority

Three reliable levers: (1) earn high-quality backlinks from authoritative sites in your niche, (2) publish in-depth long-form content that other sites want to cite, (3) prune low-quality / spammy backlinks via Google's Disavow Tool. DA updates monthly — patience compounds.

Why use this free DA checker?

We pull live scores straight from Moz's official API and cache them aggressively, so you get accurate Domain Authority + Page Authority + Spam Score data without spending $99-$249/mo on a Moz Pro subscription. Plus a free, customizable DA badge widget — exactly the kind of trust signal advertisers and link-buyers want to see on your site.

Embed your DA score as a live badge

Copy the HTML snippet below and paste it anywhere on your site — header, sidebar, footer, About page. The badge auto-refreshes weekly. Works on WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Webflow, Ghost CMS, Squarespace, Blogger, and plain static HTML.

Frequently asked questions

Questions we hear most often — also emitted as FAQPage schema so search engines can surface these in “People also ask” results.

+What is a good Domain Authority score?
Domain Authority is scored 0-100 on a logarithmic scale. A DA above 50 is excellent for most niches, 30-50 is solid for indie sites, and 60+ is competitive in saturated industries. The scale is logarithmic — going from DA 70 → 80 is dramatically harder than 20 → 30.
+How long does it take to increase Domain Authority?
DA updates monthly. Realistically, expect 6-12 months of consistent backlink-building, in-depth content, and bad-link pruning to move from DA 20 → 40. From DA 50 to 70 typically takes 2-4 years. There are no shortcuts — every paid 'DA-booster' service is a scam.
+Is Moz DA an official Google ranking factor?
No. DA is Moz's proprietary score, not a Google signal. But because Moz's algorithm correlates strongly with what Google rewards (high-quality backlinks, content depth, low spam), tracking DA is a great proxy for SEO health. Treat it as a directional metric, not a literal Google score.
+How can I check Domain Authority in bulk?
Our single-domain checker is free for casual use. For bulk DA lookups (50+ domains at once), Moz's Pro plan at $99/mo offers the official API — we cache responses aggressively to extend Moz's free-tier quota and even fall back to a synthetic OpenPageRank-derived DA estimate when quota is dry.
+How does FeedPulse get the DA score?
We pull DA scores directly from Moz's official Link Explorer API and cache them in MongoDB for 30 days to extend the free-tier quota. When Moz's quota is exhausted, we transparently fall back to an OpenPageRank-derived synthetic DA (marked `estimate: true` in the API response) so the badge never returns empty.
