FAQPage Schema
How do I find orphan pages on my website?▼

Provide your domain or sitemap and the Skill lists pages with no inbound internal links. It prioritizes high-value orphans with traffic or rankings, medium-potential pages needing category links, and low-value pages to delete, noindex, or redirect.

How to improve internal linking for SEO?▼

The Skill analyzes your current link structure, anchor text distribution, and topic clusters, then generates a phased plan. It covers critical orphan fixes first, then pillar-cluster linking, and finally anchor diversification and navigation optimization.

What is a good anchor text distribution for internal links?▼

The Skill's templates target 10-20% exact match, 30-40% partial match, 10-20% branded, and 20-30% natural anchors. Over-optimized anchors should stay below 10% of total distribution.

Which site architecture model should I use for internal linking?▼

The reference guide compares hub-and-spoke, silo, flat, pyramid, and mesh models by site size and content type. Hub-and-spoke fits 50-500 content pages, while flat works for sites under 50 pages.

What input does the internal linking analysis need?▼

It accepts a domain, sitemap, or list of key page URLs with content categories. When crawler or analytics connectors are unavailable, it asks you to supply the sitemap and page data directly.
