Free tool · Ahrefs data
See how strong your backlinks are — then launch on Best Million Startups for a free listing and badge backlink.
Domain Rating (DR) is Ahrefs' score for how strong your backlink profile is, from 0 to 100. More quality sites linking to you usually means a higher DR. It is not a Google ranking — but it helps you compare your site to others.
| DR range | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| 0–5 | Brand new site |
| 5–20 | Early-stage startup |
| 20–40 | Growing product |
| 40–70 | Established brand |
| 70+ | Industry authority |
Listing is free. You get a profile page founders can discover, plus a badge to embed on your site. That badge links back to your listing — a legitimate backlink that can help your DR grow over time.
