        This means that your domain hasn't been crawled and that there's no data in Mozscape.

        You get the following explanation from OpenSiteExplorer when you look for a domain that isn't crawled:

        Although our index is large, there are a number of reasons why we may not have data for the page you've requested. These can include:

        • Recency of Page Creation:
          Mozscape crawls the web constantly, but we update the index only once every 30-40 days. Thus, pages and links created since the last index update won't be available until we've seen them. A typical timeline for getting a page/site included in Mozscape is 45-60 days, sometimes less for very important or well-linked-to pages.
        • Deep Down in the Web:
          Our crawl focuses on a breadth-first approach, and thus we nearly always have content from the homepage of websites, externally linked-to pages and pages higher up in a site's information hierarchy. However, deep pages that are buried beneath many layers of navigation are sometimes missed and it may be several index updates before we catch all of these.
        • Blocked Pages:
          If our crawlers or data sources are blocked from reaching your URLs, they may not be included in our index (though links that points to those pages will still be available)
        • No Links:
          The URLs seen by Mozscape must be linked-to by other documents on the web or our index will not include them.

        We can see that your site has been indexed by google (site:autoproject.com.au/) so it seems that there's nothing to block crawlers from indexing your site.

        If we look at MajesticSEO, we can't see any indexed links to your site either.

        It looks like your website went live earlier this year (sometime in April?) but as yet hasn't managed to attract any links and it's those thinks that Moz will used to determine your Domain Authority.

        In this case, look at your outreach and consider how you can get some good quality links from authoritative domains (in your niche).

          It appears that your site hasn't been crawled by Moz yet and that it may be new.  It will take time and considerable effort to build your domain's authority. Be sure to read through The SEO Guide From Moz for info on how to increase authority.
