What domain authority means
Search engines trust sites that other trusted sites link to. A domain authority score sums that up in one number, so you can compare your site with competitors and see whether your links are getting stronger.
Every tool has its own score. IndexPedia Authority comes from free public data, Open PageRank and the Tranco list of top sites, and is labeled as our own score.
What the map shows
- Sites linking to you, from Bing Webmaster Tools
- Sites your pages link to, from every page IndexPedia reads
- The strength of each site, shown by the color of its ring
How to raise it
Earn links from sites people already trust: local news, suppliers, associations, and partners. One link from a strong, related site counts for more than many links from weak ones.
