      I want to know, Is there any detailed report or study done by someone on the Domain authority calculations between Google & Moz.

      Mainly, I would like to know

      1. How Google calculates Domain Authority and How Moz does ?

      2. Is there any correlation in majority of the cases or both differs vastly ?

        Hi there!

        Domain Authority is a proprietary metric that specifically comes from Moz, so Google does not use it. We do not disclose the exact formula for Domain Authority but you can read about the factors used to calculate in our article here: https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority

        I hope that helps!
