GuestAugust 22, 2025 at 11:39 amAuthority scores and domain authority do not build overnight. They are primarily based on backlinks and are calculated by third-party tools like SEMrush or Ahrefs, not by Google itself.
It is important to understand that these scores do not directly dictate your rankings. They are simply metrics used by SEO tools to estimate the strength of a domain. You should not obsess over them or make them your main focus.
What really matters is consistently building quality links to your website over time. As you do that, your authority score or domain authority, depending on the tool you are using, will gradually increase. It is a long-term process, not something to chase day to day.
