Hi there, there's a few things to bear in mind here.
First - Domain Authority ISN'T a part of Google Algorithm. I'm assuming you're using Moz's DA, there's an article here explaining how DA is a way to try to PREDICT rankings but it does not AFFECT rankings:
https://moz.com/learn/seo/domain-authority
So in terms of seeing a drop in your DA, I wouldn't worry that your rankings are likely to drop as a result. It's just as likely that Moz has updated the number to more accurately reflect what was always the truth.
In terms of improving rankings, you mention a specific target keyword. In my experience, the steps to take to make sure you're ranking for a keyword are:
- Make sure your site ranks for anything (is indexed)
- Make sure you have a page specifically targeting the keyword
- Make sure you don't have LOTS of pages targeting that keyword (if you have pages competing for the same keyword it can confuse Google and harm your rankings overall, tools like Stat are a great way to check that)
- If the keyword is important enough, consider targeting it with the homepage and only the homepage
- Make sure your site doesn't have weird technical issues
- Once you've covered EVERYTHING else, then worry about DA.
The reason I order the steps that way is to focus on the things you can most easily change and most quickly see the results of. Changing Google's perceived authority of your site is actually quite hard to do, very hard to reliably measure, and often not the main factor at play.
Just in case you were hoping posts to Moz would help impact authority - links posted to this forum are automatically nofollowed to avoid people trying to manipulate rankings by posting links. That's quite common for forums and is just one of the ways the modern internet is quite resistant to link building
