Authority evidence needs provenance—not a mysterious number.

VeriCrawl separates internal link evidence from external authority evidence and does not invent a domain-strength score when the required provider or imported evidence is unavailable.

How authority evidence is handled

01

Internal links are first-party crawl evidence

The Project link graph can describe internal relationships collected by VeriCrawl.

02

External authority is a separate evidence source

Imported or provider-backed evidence keeps its source and coverage limitations.

03

Optional providers stay optional

Ahrefs or another future provider is never silently simulated when credentials or activation are absent.

This P13-W02 route explains the governed authority evidence model. It does not activate Ahrefs or claim that a live domain-strength lookup is available in this checkpoint.

Direct answer · Entity: VeriCrawl

How does VeriCrawl handle domain-strength and authority evidence?

Authority and link intelligence is presented with its source and coverage limitations. VeriCrawl does not manufacture a proprietary authority score when the underlying evidence is unavailable, and external-provider evidence is identified as such when enabled.

Evidence & provenance

Answer is limited to implemented VeriCrawl capabilities, governed content and stored evidence. Search-engine or AI-system visibility is external and is not inferred.
