You'll need to build quality backlinks to increase your da/pa in Moz, You'll need quality links from high authority sites..I have recently increased my da for my international movers business site by building high authority quality links

domain:mydomain.com is fine as any subdomain would be already considered. Many webmasters add them individually as well. Here is a relevant answer to your query https://moz.com/community/q/disavow-subdomain Hope that helps. Regards https://www.webfandom.com

Hi Brent, I just  took a quick look as a friendly courtesy... To be honest, the list of backlinks pointing to your domain seem pretty suspect in comparison to website's I've been working with over the years. Google may find this suspect as well, though I am not certain, at least at this second. As you know, lots of backlinks can mean a high DA, but DA is simply a Moz metric -- not a Google metric  -- and doesn't automatically equate to high ranks in the SERPs. Beyond this, you may want to make sure that (1) you're set up properly with Google Search Console, (2) you have a sitemap submitted, and (3) you're website is allowing search engines to crawl it. Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out if you'd like us to take a deeper dive. Best, Zack

Hello, I have never heard of Google penalizing anyone for such a thing, and would proceed with what you're wanting to do there. Hope this helps. Zack

Absolutely not. I would proceed with this. Best of luck. Zack

Hi there, Have you tried using Moz Bar? Adding this to your browser and enabling it should allow you to see your website's  DA rather quickly. Hope this helps. Zack

Hi Dawodus, Can you get a bit more specific as to what the issue is? Thanks, Zack

Just in case it's helpful... For quite some time I've had issues using Moz Bar (and even the Moz website) using Chrome. As of this year, I use Safari when using Moz's Q&A forum, to be honest. Best, Zack

I'm quite surprised that comments like these aren't filtered or policed. -Zack

Hello, To also chime in on this, I strongly recommend being trained by Moz. They do an excellent job, and walk through using the tools, step by step. Our agency uses Moz for SEO keyword research, as well as SEO site audits. The Moz Bar when linked up with a Moz Pro account is very useful. Hope this helps. Zack

Hi there! This question is asked often, so I honestly recommend searching through the Q&A forum for discussions on this and answers from Moz staff. In short, though, Moz DA is a Moz metric that strongly takes into consideration the quantity and quality of backlinks your website has, in comparison to the competition. Hope this helps. Zack

Hi Uzair, As far as I know, the different tools such as Moz actually use different data sets. They aren't looking  at the complete picture, in other words. They do have very large amounts of data, and are very useful if used correctly, but somewhat different from one another, and aren't infallible. Hope this helps! Zack

Hi Paula! Are  you saying that your company name is showing twice within the same tag? If so, you may want to reach out to your developer, or Squarespace support. If you are simply saying that the company name is in both the title and meta tags, as long as it makes sense contextually, that doesn't sound like a bad thing at all. Best, Zack

To chime in as well, you will strongly want to take into consideration  what your PA and DA are, in comparison to that of the competition when doing SEO Keyword research. Using the Moz Pro tools is a wonderful place to start (IMHO), but to go one step further, then take the top performers in Moz Pro, and actually look at the SERPs for those in Google to see if your page can outperform the competition. Hope this helps. Zack

Hi Tejas, This falls slightly outside of my area of expertise, but not by too much. Have you dug into Google's recommendations regarding canonicalization? That is where I would start. Best, Zack

Hi there, In answer, to identify technical SEO issues, we couldn't recommend enough the SEO Site Audit training from Moz. Honestly great stuff, and better than we've seen with competitors. (No, we're not affiliated!) To troubleshoot technical SEO issues, though, is a different matter. This is when you would need a developer, or agency, most likely, and the involvement would vary of  course. Best, Zack

Hi MarkJerry, In addition to Ibrahim_Khan's response, DA can also decrease when competitors' DA increases. That is also something to take into consideration. Best of luck. Zack
