How to use Domain Authority

What Domain Authority takes in, which fields it returns and how credits are charged for each lookup.

Last updated 2026-10-22

What it does

A 0 to 100 authority score for a domain, with every input shown: its Common Crawl web graph harmonic centrality and PageRank positions and its Majestic Million rank and referring subnets. Only domains inside the top of the open rank lists are scored; an unranked domain is not proof of low authority. It is a link-graph score, not Moz or Semrush authority.
