Glossary
- Authority score
- A number that estimates how strong a domain is in search engines. Higher usually means easier rankings.
- Backlinks
- Links from other websites to this domain. Quality backlinks help you rank faster.
- Spam score
- A risk score from 0–100. Lower is safer. High spam often means the domain had a bad SEO history.
- Watchlist
- Your saved shortlist of domains with notes and priority — like a folder of favorites.
- Saved search
- Stored filter settings you can rerun anytime. Great for checking the same niche weekly.
- Alert
- An email when new domains match your saved search. Available on paid plans.
- Domain history
- How the domain was used before — age, past topics, and whether it was abused for spam.
Example workflows
- House cleaning:search "cleaning" or "maid", filter low spam, save to a Cary-area watchlist.
