In the ever-changing landscape of the digital world, brand strength and SEO are becoming increasingly important. They prudently hold the reins to a brand’s online visibility, customer engagement, and marketing efficacy. To leverage these aspects and develop robust SEO strategies, it is crucial to measure the right metrics, hence, the need for Moz’s new Brand Authority Metric.
Launched recently, the Brand Authority Metric is accessible via the Domain Overview section on Moz. This groundbreaking tool aims to measure ‘online brand strength’ using a brand strength score, which ranges anywhere between 1 to 100. Moz additionally plans to enhance the metric by incorporating a brand comparison visualization feature, providing users with greater insights into the competition.
What sets Moz’s Brand Authority Metric apart is its unique integrating process which combines Moz’s knowledge of search intent and search volume for a comprehensive brand strength score. This innovation is the brainchild of Dr. Peter J. Meyers, a well-acknowledged Moz marketing scientist. An example of its application can be seen through brand-specific searches such as ‘[iPhone 15]’ and ‘[iPad Pro]’. These searches echo the awareness of the Apple brand, demonstrating the metric’s ability to discern brand strength over multiple search streams.
As of now, the Brand Authority Metric is constructed solely on U.S. data; however, Moz has revealed plans of extending its data reach to other regions in 2024. The metric is refreshed bi-monthly, ensuring that the data points are kept up-to-date with the ever-evolving digital trends.
There’s good news for Moz Pro users! The addition of the Brand Authority Metric will not augment the cost of your basic subscription. However, accessing Brand Authority data in the API will incur additional charges – a small price for a wealth of information.
The Brand Authority Metric has been hailed as an efficient instrument for SEO and PR professionals, marketers alike. Its ability to delve deep into its journey gives a detailed account of brand influence and strength – a powerful tool for assessing the brand’s position against its competitors.
Comparison with its sibling, the Domain Authority, brings us to a significant distinction between the two. Moz’s Brand Authority Metric assesses marketing gaps, value of sales prospects, potential acquisition targets, and strives to depict the real influence of media brands. In contrast, Domain Authority, embroiled in controversy over its ability to predict website ranking, is used to estimate the ranking of websites on Search Engines Results Pages.
Conclusively, the potential benefits of using Moz’s Brand Authority Metric are immense. Its ability to measure brand strength, the influence of brands, and the understanding it provides about search intent and volume is revolutionary. As this disruptive tool continues to develop, it is set to reshape the way SEO strategies are formulated, making it a game-changer in the realm of digital marketing.
Up until working with Casey, we had only had poor to mediocre experiences outsourcing work to agencies. Casey & the team at CJ&CO are the exception to the rule.
Communication was beyond great, his understanding of our vision was phenomenal, and instead of needing babysitting like the other agencies we worked with, he was not only completely dependable but also gave us sound suggestions on how to get better results, at the risk of us not needing him for the initial job we requested (absolute gem).
This has truly been the first time we worked with someone outside of our business that quickly grasped our vision, and that I could completely forget about and would still deliver above expectations.
I honestly can't wait to work in many more projects together!
