Know which dropped domain is actually worth buying.
DropGrade scores expired domains on the history that predicts local rankings — archive depth, real citations, niche consistency and age — so you buy on proof, not a gut feeling.
A real scan, run with this exact tool. Your domains get the same audit — every point traced.

Pick a trade and a city. DropGrade surfaces local businesses with no website or a dead one — with the listed phone, ready to call.
Why the grade holds up
A high DR is easy to fake. History isn't.
Most people buy a dropped domain on one number. Here's what that number never tells you.
Local-business proof
Schema markup, a real local phone and address, and service-business wording on the archived homepages.
Real citations
Yelp, BBB, Facebook, Angi and more — plus a live-verified Google Business Profile.
Archive quality
Year-by-year Wayback coverage with no long dead gaps — not a raw snapshot count.
Domain age
RDAP creation date and first archived year: the real track record.
Niche consistency
The same trade year after year — a plumber that stayed a plumber.
Clean & safe
Spam, adult, casino and big-brand history are flagged — never scored as good.

Questions
Good to know.
What exactly does DropGrade score?
Expired domains — on business history, citations, archive depth, age and NAP stability. Spam and trademark history are hard gates. Every point is explained.
Where does the data come from?
Read live, every scan: the Internet Archive for history, RDAP registries for age, DNS for live/parked checks, Ahrefs for Domain Rating.
How do grades and gates work?
Excellent 78+ · Good 58+ · Average 35+ · below that, Bad. Spam, casino, parked and big-brand history stop the grade cold. The longest hole in the archive cuts the score — a silence of 6+ years caps the verdict at Average.
Do you guarantee a domain is available?
No — registries change hour to hour. Always confirm at a registrar before you buy.
When do citations and the Lead Finder arrive?
Citations are live now — every scan checks live Google data. The Lead Finder is built and opens in a later update; until then it shows as coming soon, never a made-up number.
Is this affiliated with Google or the Internet Archive?
No. DropGrade is an independent tool that reads public data.
Citations & Lead Finder
