Domain Rank is a 0 to 100 authority score from a third-party backlink index, refreshed monthly. It uses the same scale as Ahrefs DR, but the two numbers won't match exactly. Last checked November 2026.

How to submit

  1. Open the add-your-business form.
  2. Enter the business name and say whether you are the owner or nominating it.
  3. Enter the owner's name and choose the nearest listed city.
  4. Add the business details and website and submit.
  5. Claim the page and confirm ownership through Google Business Profile to get the Owner-Verified badge.

Watch out for

  • The city list is limited, so an online-only brand has to pick a nearby listed city.
  • The verified badge needs access to the business's Google Business Profile.
  • Business must be Black-owned.
