Domain Comparison

Short answer

Compare two domains on a public, link-based authority score (0–10) — a relative signal for sizing up a competitor, not a Google ranking factor.

Example:

Root domain without protocol or trailing slash.

Example: example.com

Domain to compare against.

Example: competitor.com

What It Does

Compares two domains on a public, link-based authority score — a 0–10 estimate for each domain from the same free source. It is a comparative proxy for how strong each domain's links are, not a Google metric: Google does not use third-party authority scores for ranking.

Why It Matters

"How do we stack up against this competitor?" comes up all the time. A shared authority score gives a quick, like-for-like read on link strength before you dig into content and links — as long as you treat it as an estimate, not a ranking factor.

How It Works

  1. Enter your domain and the competitor domain

  2. We look up the authority score for each domain from the same free source

  3. Return both scores side by side so you can see at a glance who has the edge

  4. No traffic, keyword or backlink data — this check is authority only

Sample input + output

INPUT
domain: rankproof.eu
competitor: example.com
OUTPUT
domain              authority (0–10)
───────────────────────────────────
rankproof.eu               4.8
example.com                6.1

example.com scores higher on public link-graph authority

Frequently Asked Questions

Is domain authority a Google ranking factor?

No. Google does not use third-party authority scores. They are estimates built from public link data, useful for comparing domains with each other.

Can I compare more than two domains?

No — this check compares two domains at a time. Run it again with a different competitor to check a third.

How fresh is the data?

Each domain pair is cached for up to 7 days to keep the check free to run — check again after that for an updated score.
