domain-authority-auditor

The domain-authority-auditor skill is designed to evaluate and audit the authority, trustworthiness, and citation credibility of domains. It addresses the challenge of determining whether a website or domain can be relied upon as a credible source, especially in contexts where citation trust, backlink quality, or domain reputation is critical. By implementing a structured 40-item CITE scoring framework with veto checks, the skill allows users to comprehensively assess a domain's overall authority and detect potential issues such as manipulative link patterns, PBNs, or penalties that could impact its standing.

This skill offers a wide range of features for detailed domain evaluation. It performs a full 40-item audit, scoring each item as Pass, Partial, or Fail, and calculates scores across four dimensions. It produces weighted totals tailored to domain type, flags critical issues that cap scores, ranks the top five improvements by impact, and generates a prioritized, actionable improvement plan. It can also cross-reference with related skills like content-quality-auditor for a combined 120-item assessment, allowing for a full-spectrum evaluation of both domain and page-level quality.

The domain-authority-auditor is suitable for SEO professionals, digital marketers, and website owners aiming to improve domain credibility and competitive positioning. It is particularly useful for pre-campaign evaluations, periodic domain health checks, or verifying citation trustworthiness for content marketing. Users can rely on it to benchmark domains against competitors, identify high-impact improvement opportunities, and monitor domain authority over time to ensure compliance with best practices and search engine standards.
