Can you see changes in page authority quarterly?

[AvexHomes]

Is there any definitive answer to when page authority can change? I'm trying to see if it's a trackable metric but not sure since (I believe) it's something that takes time. Is there any article/reference that speaks to the fact that the page authority can take time to change?

I do know that changes to the page, competitors pages and a multitude of factors go into the score, but I'm trying to see if there is a 'simple' answer for the timing of the scoring.

Hi there!

The "simple" answer is that it depends on the amount of backlinks and the quality of them that you receive.

Keep in mind that DA/PA or any other metric outthere does not tell the quality of any site. its just an approximation of what that tool understands about google algorithms.

Hope it helps.
Best luck.
