AI Authority
The AI tools with real authority
Authority is what makes a website discoverable, trusted, and worth citing in search and AI. We scored the domains behind major AI search and content tools with TrueDR, our independent authority score built from genuine backlinks and real traffic, discounted for spam. The numbers are live and refresh automatically.
The ranking
Sorted by TrueDR. DR is the classic backlink-only score; the gap between the two tells you how much of a tool's authority survives a trust check. Click any tool for its full public authority profile.
Scores are our measurement of each tool's own domain authority, not a review of its features. Yes, we rank ourselves with the same formula, and no, we don't win.
SurgeGraph scores TrueDR 71 against DR 53. Its real-world trust signals outrun its backlink count.
GrowthBar shows DR 68 but only TrueDR 34. A chunk of that backlink profile fails the trust check.
How the scores work
TrueDR is a 0 to 100 authority score computed independently from DR. It starts from a site's genuine backlink evidence, validates it against real traffic data, and discounts spam, link schemes, and manipulation patterns. DR, by contrast, is a pure backlink metric: it can be inflated by links nobody ever clicks. When a tool's TrueDR sits well below its DR, its authority is thinner than it looks. When TrueDR is higher, the site is stronger than its backlink count suggests. Every score on this page comes from the same public index that covers every site on VerifiedDR and updates as the index refreshes. Read the full breakdown on the TrueDR page.

What is AI Authority?
AI Authority is the trust a website earns across search engines, AI answer engines, and the wider web. VerifiedDR measures and strengthens it with TrueDR, backlink evidence, real traffic, trust signals, partner discovery, and workflows an AI agent can run.
How is this list ranked?
Every tool's own domain is scored with TrueDR, VerifiedDR's independent 0-100 authority score built from genuine backlinks and real traffic, discounted for spam and manipulation. The table shows live scores from the same public index that covers every site on VerifiedDR, and it refreshes automatically.
Why is a tool's TrueDR sometimes far below its DR?
DR only counts backlinks. TrueDR checks whether those backlinks are trustworthy and whether real traffic backs them up. A large gap usually means the backlink profile is inflated by low-quality or manipulated links, so the site's apparent authority does not survive a trust check.
How can I measure AI Authority for free?
On VerifiedDR you can look up any site's DR and TrueDR, compare two websites, view an Authority Map, and audit SEO, AEO, and GEO signals with the Chrome extension without paying. Paid plans unlock deeper authority reports and recurring workflows.
Can AI agents use these tools?
VerifiedDR ships a CLI, an agent skill, and a JSON API, so coding agents like Codex and Claude Code can diagnose authority gaps, find trusted partners, monitor progress, and prepare outreach with human approval.
