Frequently asked questions

Is RankForge a Moz alternative?expand_more

For internal linking and site structure, yes — RankForge goes further by recommending specific links to add. Moz remains a strong choice for Domain Authority and broad keyword/rank tracking. Many teams use both.

What is Domain Authority, and does RankForge have it?expand_more

Domain Authority (DA) is Moz's proprietary 1–100 score estimating how well a site might rank, based on Moz's own backlink index. RankForge doesn't compute a third-party authority score — it measures internal authority flow within your own site and tells you which pages need more of it.

Is there a free version?expand_more

Yes — free single-purpose tools and a free account that audits up to 100 pages, no card required.
