Link Building

Page Authority

Quick definition

Page Authority (PA) is Moz's 0–100 score predicting how well a specific page will rank in search results.

Page Authority is the page-level counterpart to Domain Authority. It estimates the ranking strength of an individual URL based on its inbound links and on-page signals.

Why Page Authority matters

PA is most useful when evaluating internal link structure or scouting specific guest-post placements. A higher-PA page passes more authority through its outbound links.

How Page Authority works in practice

As with DA, PA is a Moz prediction and not used by Google. Treat it as a comparative metric alongside other tools' page-level scores.
