DR Checker

📋 Tool Overview

DR Checker is a trust and exposure tool for website owners and marketers. It turns the Ahrefs Domain Rating (DR) metric into visible social proof (a verified DR badge) and discoverable domain profile pages. It helps teams quickly communicate credibility and gain an additional backlink/traffic entry point through a curated listing.

• Positioning & Core Value: Verified DR badge + public domain page (with DR value and monitoring) + submission/listing for exposure.
• Target Users: Website owners, SEO professionals, growth and marketing teams, indie makers, agencies.
• Problems Solved:
  • Make domain authority visible to visitors to improve trust and conversions.
  • Provide a sharable DR profile page for outreach and PR.
  • Offer an extra backlink and discovery channel via the listing.
• Unique Advantages:
  • Uses the widely recognized Ahrefs DR metric as a credibility anchor.
  • Packaging of DR into an easy, non-technical badge and a simple site submission flow.

Note: DR (Domain Rating) is an Ahrefs metric (0–100) reflecting backlink strength. It is not a Google ranking signal.

⭐ Key Features

Core Features

• Verified DR Badge: Add a trust badge to your site that displays your domain’s DR, backed by Ahrefs data—ideal for home, pricing, or “as seen in” sections.
• Domain Profile & DR Monitor: Each domain receives a public page showing the current DR and a DR Monitor section (with a chart area) that acts as a shareable “authority card.”
• Site Submission & Listing: Submit your site to be listed and promoted. Different plans control review speed, placement, and promotional perks.

Auxiliary Features

• On-site Search: Quickly look up domains or entries within the directory.
• Content & Newsletter: Blog and Newsletter sections exist for updates; you can subscribe to receive news.
