Most clients don’t. They usually see DR, DA, or “********” and assume higher is better.
That’s why it helps to explain relevance, real traffic, placement, and whether the site actually ranks before talking about metrics.

Some clients definitely know the difference, especially those who understand SEO beyond basic metrics.
Others mainly look at DA or DR, but relevance and link quality matter much more in the long run.

Not necessarily. Many clients base their rankings solely on metrics or backlink counts, but important clients understand that relevance, authority, and quality are much more important.

Eventually I guess. If it does not do any good, clients will start looking why it is not working. With the AI and all it is easier to spot such issues. Take it from me. I didn't know anything about the quality of it and once I started seeing "Spam" and zero traffic On hrefs I stopped and started actually purchasing meaningful guestposts to the websites with traffic.
