Frequently Asked Questions

What is Domain Rating (DR)?

Domain Rating (DR) is a metric developed by Ahrefs that scores the strength and authority of a website's backlink profile on a scale from 0 to 100. A higher DR indicates a stronger, more authoritative website that is likely to rank better in search engines. Ranccoon tracks this crucial metric daily so you can focus on improving it!

How does the Backlink Guardian work?

You add the URL of a page where your backlink exists (e.g., a partner's blog post) to your domain in Ranccoon. Our system, Randy, then scrapes that page's HTML daily. He checks if your link is still present, if it's still a "dofollow" link, if the anchor text has changed, and if it still points to your correct URL. If any change is detected, you receive an immediate email alert!

Is there a free plan?

Yes! Ranccoon offers a completely free plan that includes daily Domain Rating updates and basic tracking features. This allows you to monitor your DR, visualize progress with charts, and set goals at no cost. It's a fantastic way to get started and see the value before upgrading to unlock advanced features like backlink monitoring and unlimited checks!

Can I track more than one website?

Absolutely! Ranccoon is built to help you scale your efforts. You can monitor multiple domains and websites from one convenient, centralized dashboard. This makes it incredibly easy for founders with several projects, bloggers with multiple sites, or SEO agencies managing client portfolios to keep track of all their SEO health in one place!
