Citrus America SEO — Domain Rating Progress

Overview

Citrus America is an active SEO client. Domain Rating (DR) is being tracked as the primary metric for measuring link-building and SEO progress. The target threshold used across clients is DR 40.

Domain Rating History

Current Status

As of the November 3, 2025 weekly sync, Citrus America's DR stands at 27, up 3 points from the prior reading of 24. This was noted as a positive trend. The campaign is active — Melissa confirmed "we got four of them happening right now," indicating Citrus is one of four concurrent SEO engagements.

The DR 40 target is the standard benchmark used for Asymmetric clients (see ^[1] for comparison). Citrus is currently 13 points below that threshold.

Context & Related Clients

• ^[1] — Bluepoint is at DR 29, also working toward DR 40. Mike (Bluepoint) raised a question about why a competitor ranks higher; Melissa is investigating whether competitors have higher DR or are paying for premium placement services.
• Axley — Noted in the same sync as paying for a premium SEO service. Melissa planned to ask Jim at Blue Sky about this service, which may be relevant to accelerating Citrus's DR growth as well.

Notes

• No premium link-building service is currently active for Citrus (same situation as Bluepoint as of this date).
• DR increases of 3 points per reporting period are consistent with organic link-building progress.
• No client-side questions or escalations noted for Citrus in this sync.

Action Items

• [ ] Monitor DR at next weekly sync and log new reading here
• [ ] Evaluate whether premium service (being used by Axley) would accelerate Citrus toward DR 40 target — pending Melissa's conversation with Jim at Blue Sky
