What are Crawl Levels - Domain Hunter Gatherer Guide

This introductory Domain Hunter Gatherer guide explains how crawl levels control the depth at which the software explores a website and searches its links for available domains.

Using a simple tree-style model, the video demonstrates how the starting page becomes the first level and how each additional level allows DHG to follow internal links deeper into the target website. It explains why deeper crawls can uncover more opportunities while also increasing the number of pages processed and potentially reducing niche relevance.

The guide covers practical settings for different objectives, including Level 0 for checking an existing domain list, Level 1 for focused and highly relevant searches, Level 2 for expanding a hunt, and very high crawl levels for comprehensively exploring a large authority website. It also explains how DHG avoids repeatedly processing pages and domains it has already checked.

This is a useful starting point for new DHG users who want to balance crawl speed, relevance and discovery volume while building a more efficient expired-domain hunting workflow.

Use the walkthrough as a starting point, then adapt the filters, research depth and verification checks to the purpose and risk profile of your own project.
