Transparent Ranking System
No pay-to-win. Your ranking is based on real metrics that reflect your product's authority and reach.
Key Metrics
Ahrefs DR
0-100Ahrefs Domain Rating - measures the strength of your website's backlink profile on a logarithmic scale.
Moz DA
0-100Moz Domain Authority - predicts how well a website will rank on search engines based on link data.
Backlinks
0-∞The total number of external websites linking to your domain. Quality matters more than quantity.
Your level is determined by whichever metric is higher. We use the best of Ahrefs DR or Moz DA, plus your backlinks count. If your DR qualifies for Level 5 but your backlinks qualify for Level 7, you get Level 7.
