Frequently asked questions
How does the Internal Link Mapper find link opportunities?
It analyzes page content and topical relevance between pages. When two pages share keyword themes or belong to the same content cluster, the skill suggests linking them with contextually appropriate anchor text.
Can the Internal Link Mapper detect over-optimized anchor text?
Yes. The skill flags pages where the same exact-match anchor text points repeatedly, which can appear manipulative. It suggests varying anchor text naturally across linking pages.
Does it work with JavaScript-rendered sites?
The skill crawls HTML responses by default. For JavaScript-heavy sites, provide a pre-rendered sitemap or use it alongside a headless browser crawl for complete coverage.
What is an orphan page and why does it matter for SEO?
An orphan page has no internal links pointing to it, meaning search engines may struggle to discover and crawl it. The skill identifies these pages so you can add internal links from relevant content.
