Quick answer
Domain authority is a score made by SEO tools to estimate how strong a website is. Google does not use this exact score.
What it means
Domain authority is a score made by SEO tools to estimate how strong a website is. Google does not use this exact score. In normal terms, it is one small part of how Google and people understand your site.
Why it matters
It can help compare sites roughly, but chasing the number can waste time. A small local business can rank well without a huge DA.
What to do about it
Use it as a rough benchmark, not a target. Focus on useful content, local relevance, good pages and real links.
Bloom's take
Bloom does not make DA the goal. We care about traffic, leads and tasks that move those numbers.
