02 · Definition
What is an internal linking tool?
An internal linking tool analyzes how the pages of a website link to each other. It crawls the site, visiting pages one by one the way search engines do, and turns that into internal link analysis: which pages are easy to reach, which are not, and where new links would help most.
03 · Capabilities
How are link suggestions generated?
Each suggestion names a source page, a target page and anchor text in the language of the paragraph. It either turns words already on the page into the link or adds one short sentence. You approve or skip each one, and nothing is inserted automatically.
How deep are your pages?
Click-depth analysis measures how many clicks each page sits from the homepage. Pages deeper than 3 clicks get flagged, because users and crawlers rarely reach them. The SEO & AEO Audit flags structure problems like these. This tool fixes them.
How do approved links reach your site?
The web app never edits your site. Add approved links by hand, or download a fix prompt for any AI assistant that can edit your pages. On a connected WordPress site, the plugin applies approved links and keeps an undo. Dead links stay in the Broken Link Checker, a separate tool.
Which pages have no internal links?
Orphan pages are pages with no internal links pointing to them. The report lists every page that no other page links to from its content, since menu and footer links do not count. Orphan pages rarely rank, because search engines find them late.
What anchor text do you use?
The Anchors tabs flag weak link text like "click here" and "read more". They also catch one anchor pointing at several pages, a page linking to one target twice, and two pages competing for one keyword.

Site owners
Years of publishing leave good pages buried. Surface them with links from the pages that already rank.

Agencies
Internal linking is the biggest win most audits skip. Deliver it as a concrete, approvable list.
Where does it run?
What is an internal linking tool?
An internal linking tool maps how your pages link to each other, finds pages with too few incoming links, and suggests new links to fix the gaps. This one also flags buried pages, dead ends and weak or conflicting anchor text.
What are orphan pages?
Orphan pages are pages with no internal links pointing to them. They exist in your sitemap but nothing on your site leads there. Search engines crawl them rarely and rank them poorly, and visitors can only find them through search or a direct link.
How many internal links should a page have?
There is no fixed number, but every page you want to rank needs a few content links pointing at it. Links should be topically relevant. The tool calls a page thin on links when it gets fewer than 5 content links.
Does internal linking improve SEO?
Yes. Internal links pass link equity, the link value that flows between your pages. They help search engines discover and understand content, and they keep visitors on the site longer. It is one of the few ranking levers fully under your control, with no outreach or budget required.
How are link suggestions generated?
The tool maps your links, then picks page pairs that should link, pages with no content links first. AI reads the source paragraph and writes the anchor text and placement. You approve or skip each one, and nothing changes on your site automatically.
Can I fix broken internal links in the same tool?
No, they are separate tools. The Broken Link Checker finds dead links, and this tool finds missing ones. Both read the same link scan, so one scan feeds both.
How do I check internal links on my website?
Run a crawl. A crawler visits your pages one by one and records every internal link it finds, which is the only reliable way to see them all. The free scan above checks up to 50 pages with no signup and reports your orphan pages and weakest spots. On the Free plan, the full analysis reads 50 pages, with 10 link suggestions a month.
How do I find all internal links to a page?
This tool reports site-wide lists rather than the incoming links of one page. Its Pages tabs show pages with no content links, pages with fewer than 5 content links and buried pages. Fix those first, then run the analysis again.
How do I track internal links over time?
Run a fresh link scan after you publish, then run the analysis again. Runs start only when you click, and each run stands on its own. New products and posts are the usual source of new orphan pages.
What is click depth?
Click depth is the number of clicks it takes to reach a page from the homepage. A page at depth 2 is two clicks away. Pages deeper than 3 clicks are a problem: visitors rarely dig that far, and search engines treat deep pages as less important.
