The lead post in this series is Mastering Topical Authority: A Comprehensive Guide to Boost Your SEO.
If you’re reading the posts in this series sequentially, I again apologize for being a bit repetitive.
This post is included in the series because the topical mapping tool AlsoAsked informed me that people enter the question in the blog post title into search engines.
And if people are searching for it, I should provide an answer.

Domain authority is a comparison
The problem, if that’s the right word, is the question demonstrates a lack of understanding that domain authority is a comparison more than an absolute measure.
Which means a good domain authority is…
More.
More than what?
More than before, and more than websites you’re competing against.
For a new website
Your domain authority is low. Maybe as low as 1.
If 3 months later the domain authority score is 12, you’re doing well, you’re moving things in the right direction.
For a competitive niche
On the other hand, if you’re competing with a website that has a domain authority of 57, you need to keep going.
So… “more”?
In a word, yes.
As far as the domain authority score of your website goes, the only true answer to “What domain authority is good?” is “more”.
