SEO On-Page: Internal Links
Guides internal linking strategy for SEO: crawlability, link equity distribution, and user navigation.
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Scope (On-Page SEO)
- Internal links: Contextual links; descriptive anchor text; related posts; hub pages
- Breadcrumbs: Implement for large sites (e.g. ecommerce); see breadcrumb-generator
Initial Assessment
Project context: Read root contextus.md when present and load only the modules relevant to this task. Without Contextus, use available project material or user-provided facts and ask for missing information; do not create a parallel context system.
Identify:
- Site structure: Hub pages, pillar content, supporting pages
- Orphan pages: Pages with no or few internal links
- Priority pages: Pages that need more link equity
