Domain Authority Checker workflow checklist

Step-by-step actions to evaluate a prospect domain using third-party authority scores and context signals. Use this checklist when you add link prospects to outreach or backlink review lists.

Save the exact root domain and target URL for lookup

capture the prospect URL

Record the URL you plan to evaluate and note whether you are assessing the root domain or a subpage. Accurate URL capture avoids mixing metrics for different assets.

Choose the third-party metric service to query and note its name

select the authority provider

Pick from available providers or paste the provider-provided score. Always record the provider name so the score is traceable during review.

Log the returned score plus the provider timestamp

record the score and freshness

Write down the authority number and the last-updated time that the provider returns. Freshness matters when weighting older scores.

Compare provider score to your minimums and document the decision

score against your thresholds

Accept, flag for manual review, or reject the prospect based on score, topical fit, and link risk. Update prospect status in your outreach tool.

what this tool does

Single lookup, named authority, clear context

How to evaluate a domain in three steps

Enter the root domain or target URL, choose the third-party metric you want to consult, and run the lookup. The interface returns the score, the provider name, and the provider-supplied timestamp for that score.

Step 1: add URL and select provider
Step 2: retrieve score and provider timestamp
Step 3: compare score to your thresholds and decide

Context to use with the authority score

An authority number is one input. Combine it with topical relevance, visible link anchors, and recent content activity to make a balanced decision. Use on-page checks and quick manual review to confirm relevance.

Topical relevance of the target page to your link
Anchor text and surrounding content context
Recency of published content and site updates
Any manual red flags such as spammy directories

When to trust the authority lookup and when to dig deeper

Authority lookups speed triage by naming the metric provider and showing freshness. They are best for batch filtering and prioritization when combined with your own quality rules.

Follow up with manual review for borderline or high-value prospects
Keep records of provider name and timestamp for audit

What to expect and current roadmap facts

Backlink analytics is roadmap-aligned. TTP does not claim a live backlink index, internal authority metric, or continuous monitoring feed until those features are verified and released.

Lookups rely on third-party providers or provider-supplied values
We report the provider name and the provider-provided timestamp for transparency

Questions for this workflow

Frequently asked questions

Which authority providers does the domain authority checker support?

The checker returns scores from third-party providers you select or supply. We display the provider name and the timestamp they return. Supported providers depend on integrations available in your account and on your input method.

How fresh are the authority scores?

Freshness is the timestamp the provider supplies with their score. We show that timestamp so you can decide whether the score is recent enough for your decision process.

Can I rely on this tool for automated backlink monitoring?

No. Backlink analytics and continuous monitoring are roadmap items. Use the domain authority checker for one-off lookups and triage. Do not treat it as a live monitoring feed until we announce the feature.

How should I use the authority score in outreach decisions?

Use the score to prioritize prospects, then combine it with topical fit, on-page checks, and manual review for high-value targets. Record the provider name and timestamp when you log the decision so your team can recheck later if needed.
