How it works
Enter your domain
Type any domain to see its Domain Rating — Ahrefs' 0–100 measure of backlink-profile strength.
Add competitors
Stack up to four rivals beside you and see who holds the backlink authority in your space.
Go beyond Google
Authority wins on Google. See whether AI engines actually recommend you for the same topics.
A high DR doesn’t mean AI recommends you.
Domain Rating measures backlinks — a Google-era signal. But over 100 million people now ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews, and those engines answer with a brand by name. Measure tracks whether they pick you or a competitor, and hands you the moves to climb.
Frequently asked questions
What is Domain Rating (DR)?
Domain Rating is an Ahrefs metric, on a 0–100 logarithmic scale, that reflects the strength of a website's backlink profile relative to other sites. Higher DR generally means a stronger, more authoritative link profile.
Is this Domain Rating checker free?
Yes — completely free, with no signup and no API key. It uses Ahrefs' free public Domain Rating API. A free Measure account lets you track domains over time and see your AI search visibility.
What is a good Domain Rating?
It's relative to your niche. Broadly, DR under 30 is still building, 30–60 is moderate, and 60+ is strong. What matters most is how you compare to the competitors actually ranking for your topics — which is why this tool lets you compare side by side.
How is Domain Rating different from Domain Authority?
Domain Rating (DR) is Ahrefs' metric; Domain Authority (DA) is Moz's. Both estimate backlink strength on a 0–100 scale from different link indexes, so the numbers won't match exactly, but they measure a similar idea.
Does Domain Rating affect AI search visibility?
Backlink authority is a traditional Google signal and isn't the same as being recommended by AI engines. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews choose brands by other signals. Measure tracks your visibility there — start free.
