What This Skill Does
Runs a 40-item domain authority audit using the CITE framework, scoring domains across Citation, Identity, Trust, and Eminence dimensions. Applies domain-type-specific weights (content publisher, e-commerce, SaaS, and others) to produce a weighted score. Includes veto checks for manipulation signals that can cap the score regardless of other results.
Unlike single-number metrics from Moz DA or Ahrefs DR, CITE breaks domain authority into four auditable dimensions with domain-type-specific weights and hard veto checks that flag manipulation signals regardless of other scores.
When to use it
- Checking if a competitor domain is trustworthy before citing it as a source
- Evaluating domain health after a link-building campaign
- Spotting link farm or PBN signals before acquiring a domain
- Benchmarking your site against competitors before a GEO campaign
- Assessing a client site's authority before starting SEO work
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Audit domain authority for myblog.com as a content publisher
- 1Sets domain type to Content Publisher and applies corresponding dimension weights (C 40%, I 15%, T 20%, E 25%)
- 2Checks veto items T03, T05, T09 first and flags any triggers, capping the score at 39 if one fires
- 3Scores all 40 CITE items across Citation, Identity, Trust, and Eminence as Pass, Partial, or Fail
- 4Calculates weighted CITE Score and per-dimension scores (0-100 each)
- 5Generates Top 5 priority improvements sorted by weighted impact and produces a tiered action plan
