# Domain Authority Auditor > Based on [CITE Domain Rating](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/cite-domain-rating). Full benchmark reference: [references/cite-domain-rating.md](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-Codex-skills/blob/main/references/cite-domain-rating.md) This skill evaluates domain authority across 40 standardized criteria organized in 4 dimensions. It produces a comprehensive audit report with per-item scoring, dimension and weighted scores by domain type, veto item checks, and a prioritized action plan. **Sister skill**: [content-quality-auditor](https://github.com/aaron-he-zhu/seo-geo-Codex-skills/blob/main/cross-cutting/content-quality-auditor/SKILL.md) evaluates content at the page level (80 items). This skill evaluates the domain behind the content (40 items). Together they provide a complete 120-item assessment. > **Namespace note**: CITE uses C01-C10 for Citation items; CORE-EEAT uses C01-C10 for Contextual Clarity items. In combined 120-item assessments, prefix with the framework name (e.g., CITE-C01 vs CORE-C01) to avoid confusion. ## When This Must Trigger Use this when domain credibility or citation trustworthiness is in question — even if the user doesn't use audit terminology: - User asks "how trustworthy is my site" or "is my domain credible" - When backlink-analyzer finds toxic link ratio above 15%, its handoff summary recommends this gate check - Evaluating domain authority before a GEO campaign - Benchmarking your domain against competit
