Why Internal Linking Is a Growth Lever
Internal links distribute authority, improve crawl paths, and increase session depth. For AI-assisted publishing, they also make pages more context-rich and less "thin" to quality systems.
Build a 3-Layer Structure
Use three layers: - Hub pages: broad authority topics. - Cluster pages: specific use-case guides. - Conversion pages: tools, trials, and pricing.
In this setup, /guides and /compare act as strong mid-funnel hubs.
Anchor Text Rules That Work
- Keep anchors descriptive, not vague. - Match anchor intent to destination intent. - Avoid repeating the exact same anchor pattern everywhere. - Place at least one contextual link above the fold.

Weekly Maintenance Loop
1. Pull low-CTR pages from Search Console. 2. Add or improve 2-3 internal links on each page. 3. Refresh intros and first heading section. 4. Re-submit updates through index pipeline.
Consistent internal linking is one of the fastest compounding wins for ranking and conversion quality.
