Internal Links

The most ignored ranking lever: blog posts earn the rankings, money pages earn the money, and almost nobody connects them deliberately.

Process

1. Fetch the sitemap and crawl up to 200 URLs, extracting internal links to build the link graph.
2. Find three kinds of gaps:

• Orphans — pages in the sitemap with zero internal inlinks
• Under-linked money pages — PDPs/collections/landing pages (infer from URL patterns + CLAUDE.md context) with fewer than 3 inlinks
• Ranking-to-revenue gaps — pages ranking top-20 for a commercial query (live GSC check) that don't link to the matching money page

1. For each gap, output the exact insertion: source page, target page, and anchor text pulled from the real GSC queries the target ranks for — never generic "click here" or exact-match-stuffed anchors.
2. Prioritize by the target page's GSC impressions (the link helps most where demand already exists).
3. Save the paste-ready list to runs/internal-links-[date].md.

Rules

• Suggest links a human editor would approve: contextually relevant, max ~3 new links per source page per run.
• If the crawl finds fewer than 10 pages, the site is too small for link-graph analysis — say so and pivot to "every page links to your #1 money page" basics.
