How DR actually behaves in logistics & supply chain
DR is the most-cited domain metric, but not perfectly predictive. A DR-50 site can outrank a DR-70 site on long-tail queries with better content. Use DR as a directional signal, not a hard target. Indian B2B SaaS at Series A typically has DR 25–45; D2C brands DR 15–35. The fastest DR lifts come from earned media (PR mentions, original research like T26 reports), guest posts on DR-50+ publications, and broken-link reclamation.
