Why Missed Links Hurt Rankings

Internal links guide crawlers, pass equity, and clarify topic relationships. When a page mentions a concept dozens of times but never links to your best resource, equity leaks and ranking potential stalls.

  • Topical authority: connect related pages so algorithms see depth and intent coverage.
  • Equity flow: send PageRank to money pages, not just what your global nav exposes.
  • Crawl efficiency: reduce orphan sections and speed up rediscovery of updates.

One-Minute Setup

  1. Enter your domain (registered property).
  2. Max pages to scan: start with 25–50 for fast wins.
  3. Min keyword occurrences: set 2+ to avoid noisy one-off mentions.
  4. Paths to ignore: exclude thin/aggregate sections like /tag/, /category/, /search.
  5. Run Scan. You’ll get a count of total opportunities plus per-target breakdowns.

How the AI Finder Works

  1. Topic extraction: the crawler detects high-frequency terms and entities on each page.
  2. Target matching: it maps topics to the best destination page (pillar, product, or guide).
  3. Gap detection: flags pages that mention the topic but don’t link to the target.
  4. Contextual suggestions: for each source page you’ll see suggested anchor, placement context, and the reason.
Tip: run a second pass with a tighter topic filter (e.g., “seo”, “schema”, “pricing”) to create focused sprints.

Example: 124 Opportunities in 27 Pages

On a scan of easefymarketing.com we surfaced:

  • 40 suggestions to link “SEO” to the Top 10 SEO Trends 2025 page.
  • 21 links pointing to Keyword Research.
  • 19 links pointing to Technical SEO.

Each row shows the source page, a suggested anchor, the context to place it, and why it’s recommended (e.g., “mentions ‘SEO’ 26× but doesn’t link to target”).

Prioritization Playbook

  • Money pages first: services, product, pricing, core pillars.
  • High frequency → high intent: many mentions + BOFU target = immediate lift.
  • Fix orphans: give every orphan at least two relevant inlinks.
  • Recrawl cadence: batch updates, then submit affected URLs for indexing.

Anchor Text Rules That Keep Patterns Safe

  • Prefer descriptive anchors over generic “click here”.
  • Mix exact, partial, and phrase variants naturally.
  • Avoid repeating the same anchor on many pages.
  • Place links in body copy near the first mention of the concept.

QA Workflow (Fast)

  1. Open the row → copy the suggested anchor.
  2. Edit the source page → add the link in the shown context snippet.
  3. Save, deploy, and log the change (URL → target → anchor used).
  4. Request indexing for source + target if they’re key pages.

Metrics to Track

  • Coverage: % of pages with ≥3 contextual inlinks.
  • Discovered → Indexed: improves as links expose deeper URLs.
  • Query lift: impressions/position for the target’s topic cluster.
  • Internal equity: inlink count + internal PageRank to the target.

Common Pitfalls

  • Dropping big link lists at the top instead of contextual links.
  • Using identical anchors across dozens of pages.
  • Relying on nav/footer links for semantic signals.
  • Nofollow on internal links (blocks equity—avoid).

One-Hour Shipping Checklist

  1. Scan 25–50 pages with 2+ min mentions; ignore tags/categories.
  2. Add 2–3 contextual links per source → target page.
  3. Ensure every orphan page gets ≥2 inlinks from related content.
  4. Batch submit updated URLs for indexing.

FAQs

What counts as a “missed internal link”?

When a page repeatedly mentions a topic but doesn’t link to your best destination page for that topic. The tool flags those gaps and suggests an anchor + placement.

How many links should I add per page?

There’s no fixed number. Add links that genuinely help the reader. For long guides, 8–20 contextual links is common.

Do I need exact-match anchor text?

Use exact match when it reads naturally, and mix partial/phrase variants to keep patterns organic.

Will this help with crawl and indexing?

Yes. Internal links expose deep URLs and speed up rediscovery of edits. Resubmit important sources + targets after shipping.
