You invest in content and links, but without one trustworthy number you cannot tell whether your site is gaining ground. Sorank's domain authority tracker shows your Domain Rating (DR), the Ahrefs authority score used across the SEO industry, right inside your Sorank account. You know where you stand, and every link and article you add has a number to move. Better still, that number drives your Backlink Network and sits in the same tool as your AI visibility.

Moz has Domain Authority, Semrush has Authority Score: every tool has its own figure, and none of them match. So you never really know whether your site is getting stronger.
Sorank picks one reference and sticks to it: the Ahrefs Domain Rating (DR), on a scale of 0 to 100, shown in your Sorank account with no Ahrefs account needed. DR measures the strength of your backlink profile: how many unique referring domains link to you, and how strong those sites are. The scale is logarithmic, so moving from 20 to 30 is far easier than moving from 70 to 80.
Is 38 a good score? On its own, a DR says little. There is no universal good Domain Rating, only the gap between you and the sites competing for the same keywords.
Look up the DR of your main competitors and you know the gap to close. Sorank then puts your Domain Rating to work in the Backlink Network: you set the minimum Domain Rating a site needs before it can link to you (depending on your plan), credits are counted in Domain Rating points, and the Backlinks page shows the estimated market value of the links you receive. Your authority is no longer a figure in a report: it decides which links you get.
Authority alone does not pay the bills. A higher DR is only worth something if it brings visits from Google and mentions in AI answers.
Sorank brings together your Domain Rating, your Google Search Console clicks, impressions, CTR and average position, and your AI visibility: the share of AI answers that cite your site in your weekly analyses, engine by engine, and your rank among the sites cited. Before you invest in a round of articles or backlinks, you know whether your foundation is strong enough, and where the next effort should go.

Sorank's domain authority tracker shows your Ahrefs Domain Rating, a 0 to 100 score that measures the strength of your backlink profile from the number and strength of the sites that link to you. It is not a Google ranking factor, but it is the most widely used way to compare the authority of two sites. In Sorank, it does more than sit in a report: it sets the minimum authority of the sites that link to you in the Backlink Network, and you read it in the same tool as your Google clicks and your AI visibility.
Grow your score with the Backlink Network. Bring every metric together in the GEO / SEO Dashboard, and see whether authority turns into citations with AI Mention Tracking.

Domain Rating is a score from 0 to 100 created by Ahrefs. It measures the strength of a website's backlink profile: how many unique websites link to it, how strong those sites are, and how many other sites they link to. It does not take traffic, spam or domain age into account. The higher the score, the stronger the profile.
"Domain authority" is the general idea of how strong a website is in search. Each tool measures it its own way: Domain Authority (DA) is the Moz score, Domain Rating (DR) is the Ahrefs one, and Authority Score is the Semrush one, which also weighs organic traffic and spam signals. The numbers are not interchangeable, so always compare sites with the same metric. Sorank uses the Ahrefs Domain Rating.
There is no universal good score. A Domain Rating is good when it is equal to or higher than that of the sites competing for the same keywords as you. Because the scale is logarithmic, each point gets harder to gain as you climb: going from 20 to 30 takes far less than going from 70 to 80.
Because it is the authority score most widely used to evaluate and compare websites, including by people who buy and sell links. Using one reference avoids juggling contradictory numbers. Keep in mind that Google does not use DR: it is a reliable way to compare link strength, not a ranking factor.
DR rises when more unique, relevant websites link to you. In Sorank, join the Backlink Network to receive contextual links from sites in your niche, and keep publishing articles that other sites want to cite. Avoid shortcuts such as link farms or links bought in bulk.
First, whether you lost links: a deleted page or a site that went offline lowers your number of referring domains. Then, whether the sites linking to you lost strength themselves. A dip can also come from Ahrefs updating its index, so do not react to a single change, and keep earning relevant links.
It helps indirectly. Authority is one of the signals that help pages rank, and AI assistants that search the web often rely on pages that rank well and are cited elsewhere. It is not the only factor, since clear and useful content matters too. That is why Sorank shows your Domain Rating and your AI visibility in the same tool.
The free checker on the Sorank website gives a quick snapshot of the authority of any domain, yours or a competitor's. The Domain Authority Tracker is about your own site, inside your Sorank account: your Domain Rating sets the minimum authority of the sites that link to you, and you read it in the same tool as your Google clicks and AI visibility.
We don't. Sorank isn't trying to be another Semrush or Ahrefs. Those tools are built for data, Sorank is built to do the work. Instead of more dashboards to check, it turns SEO and GEO insights into actions: articles written and published, backlinks earned, technical fixes and AI visibility tracking. Less complexity, more results.
From $49/month per website on a yearly plan, with a 3-day free trial and a 90-day money-back guarantee. Every plan includes articles, AI visibility tracking and access to the Backlink Network; higher plans add more articles, more AIs tracked and more backlink credits. No setup fees, no paying for seats you don't use.
