The definition

A third-party estimate (Moz's originally) of how likely a site is to rank, based mostly on its link profile. Not a Google metric — a useful proxy, nothing more.

Why it matters to an owner

Directionally useful for comparing yourself to competitors; meaningless as a goal in itself.

This is the work. Want it done?

Everything here is free to use yourself — that’s the point. If you’d rather a senior marketer just handle it, in your accounts and your name: 20-minute call, no pitch deck.
