What your Domain Rating means
| DR | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| 0 to 9 | Brand new. Most new products start here. |
| 10 to 29 | Growing. Directory listings and a few editorial links are working. |
| 30 to 49 | Established. Can rank for long-tail searches. |
| 50 to 69 | Strong and well linked. |
| 70 to 100 | Among the most linked-to sites on the web. |
How to raise it
- List your product on reputable, curated directories and launch platforms. IndieDaddy gives a free dofollow link when you keep our badge on your site.
- Get listed on integration, partner and "built with" pages of tools you use.
- Publish one genuinely useful asset (a free tool, honest comparison or original data) and tell people who write about your topic.
- Check progress monthly, not daily. DR moves slowly.

Frequently asked questions
What is Domain Rating (DR)?
Domain Rating is an Ahrefs score from 0 to 100 that estimates how strong a website's backlink profile is, compared with other sites. It is not a Google metric, but it is a useful shorthand for link strength.
Is this Domain Rating checker free?
Yes. It uses Ahrefs' free Domain Rating data, needs no account, and each site's result is cached for 24 hours.
What is a good Domain Rating for a new SaaS?
Most new products start between 0 and 10. Reaching 20 to 30 in the first months is realistic with reputable directory listings, integrations and a few editorial links.
How can I increase my Domain Rating?
Earn links from relevant, reputable sites: curated directories and launch platforms, partner and integration pages, guest posts and useful free tools. Avoid buying link packages.
Does a higher Domain Rating mean more Google traffic?
Not directly. Rankings depend on content, relevance and many other signals. A stronger link profile helps your pages compete, but useful pages still matter most.
