Interlinking page with internal links table, score, incoming links, and outgoing links
Use Interlinking to find pages that are under-supported by internal links, then fix structure before rankings and crawl efficiency decline.

Questions this page should answer

  1. Which pages have weak internal-link support?
  2. Which important pages are not receiving enough incoming links?
  3. Where should we add internal links first to improve discoverability?

Before you analyze

  • Start with high-value page groups (commercial and core category pages).
  • Sort by Score and check low-score pages first.
  • Check both views (Table and Mind map) before final prioritization.

What this page gives you

  • Two views of the same internal-link dataset:
    • Table view for page-level prioritization
    • Mind map view for structure and cluster analysis
  • URL-level metrics:
    • Score
    • Incoming links
    • Outgoing links
  • Clickable nodes in mind map to inspect incoming and outgoing relationships.

How the Interlinking page is organized

The top-right view toggle switches between:
  • Table icon: row-level internal-link health
  • Mind map icon: network-style structure view
Use both in sequence:
  1. Start in Table to identify weak pages.
  2. Switch to Mind map to see why those pages are weak structurally.
  3. Build fix tickets based on both row metrics and graph context.
Interlinking table view with score, incoming links, and outgoing links by internal URL
This is your execution view for weekly link fixes. What each column means:
  • Score: link health indicator for the page.
  • Incoming links: how many internal pages support this URL.
  • Outgoing links: how many internal paths this page gives to others.
How to interpret:
  • Low score + very low incoming links means discoverability risk.
  • High outgoing with low incoming can mean a page gives value but receives little support.
  • Many pages with similar low score in one folder usually means a structural linking gap.
How to decide from table patterns:
  • Low Score + low Incoming links:
    • page is likely under-discoverable and under-supported.
  • High Incoming links + low Outgoing links:
    • page receives equity but does not distribute it.
  • Good Score but weak commercial impact:
    • check link source relevance, not only count.

Mind map view: diagnose structure, clusters, and dead ends

Interlinking mind map view showing internal URL nodes with incoming and outgoing link counts
Use this view to understand site structure at a glance. What you are seeing:
  • Each card is a URL node.
  • In: is incoming internal links to that URL.
  • Out: is outgoing links from that URL.
  • Connecting lines show internal-link paths between levels.
  • Node color reflects relative support strength (more incoming links = stronger node).
How to use the mind map controls:
  • Drag to pan across the network.
  • Use Show more / Show less controls per level to expand dense layers.
  • Click any node to open detailed incoming/outgoing relationship lists.
How to interpret map patterns:
  • Isolated nodes:
    • usually orphan-like pages with weak internal distribution.
  • Tight clusters with few bridges:
    • strong local linking but weak cross-cluster authority flow.
  • One dominant hub with many dependents:
    • concentration risk if hub weakens or is de-prioritized.

Practical workflow: table first, mind map second

Use this order:
  1. Fix low-score commercial pages.
  2. Fix low-score category and hub pages.
  3. Switch to mind map and verify each priority page has strong path support.
  4. Add links from high-authority hubs to isolated or weak nodes.
  5. Re-check table scores after publishing.

Quick weekly checklist

  1. Sort by lowest Score.
  2. Identify pages with weak Incoming links.
  3. Validate weak pages in Mind map to confirm structural gaps.
  4. Add contextual links from stronger, relevant pages.
  5. Verify anchor text quality and topical match.
  6. Recheck both views after updates are published.

What to fix first

Pattern in interlinking tableWhat it usually meansRecommended action
Low score and near-zero incoming linksPage is isolated in site structureAdd links from relevant high-authority internal pages
Strong page with weak outgoing linksLink equity is not redistributedAdd contextual links to related commercial/content pages
Whole folder with weak scoresTemplate or navigation gapAdd section-level link modules and related-content blocks
Incoming links concentrated from one page typeFragile link distributionDiversify linking sources across templates
Node looks isolated in mind mapPage is structurally disconnectedAdd bridge links from relevant hubs and nearby clusters
Dense cluster but weak cross-cluster linksAuthority stays trapped locallyAdd cross-cluster contextual links with strong anchor intent

Team routine

  1. Weekly: Review low-score rows and publish link fixes.
  2. Bi-weekly: Review mind map cluster health and bridge coverage.
  3. Monthly: Track score lift, incoming-link distribution, and affected traffic.

Keep in mind

  • Raw link count is not enough. Relevance and context matter most.
  • Template-wide/footer links do not replace contextual in-content links.
  • Interlinking results are cumulative; judge progress over several weeks.
  • Use this page with Landing pages and SEO audit to align fixes with business impact.
