The moz 2.0 update is live. Almost all of my website's are hit really hard. What do you think I can do to recover?

All replied are really nice as Moz is the third party which just share the metrics of the sites. If we talk about Domain Authority so yes Domain Authority (DA) is really hit hard by Moz but it doesn't hit ranking.
 
My DA has gone from 24 to 37. Another site, 24 to 16.
No drastic change in rankings, but have been looking at DAs as one of the criteria for getting links from other sites.
 
There`s definitely something going on but there`s nothing to show that will affect google rankings
 
It just a 3rd tool, not Google so don't worry about it :D.
 
Chill, nothing's gonna happen SEO-wise. Here's a nice read by @Nargil regarding SEO metrics: https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/current-expired-domain-situation-lies-costs-metrics-spam-and-niche-relevancy.916518/
 
How we can recover? is that joke? Who gives a damn about that useless metric.
 
yeah my blog is also hit on this Moz update
 
My DA on one site dropped, on another rised. Just a metrics. It doesn’t matter for Google.
 
Here is what MOZ official blog says

"Correlations between DA and SERP rankings"

The most important component of Domain Authority is how well it correlates with search results. But first, let's get the correlation-versus-causation objection out of the way: Domain Authority does not cause search rankings. It is not a ranking factor. Domain Authority predicts the likelihood that one domain will outrank another. That being said, its usefulness as a metric is tied in large part to this value. The stronger the correlation, the more valuable Domain Authority is for predicting rankings.

Of course Google doesnt care what Moz stats your website has. Moz is totaly insignificant to Google's business.

Most SEOs don't give two fucks what Moz thinks or says why would Google think twice about what Moz says or does?

Sometimes I think Moz have confused themselves with a company that matters.
 
I agree with everyone above. Your focus is in the wrong place. Focus on SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and not MMO (Moz Metric Optimization). SEO will move the needle, thus impacting your bottom line. One of my site's DA increased by +7, but the site didn't budge in the SERPs. So, I have to ask myself - how good is that +7
