Map links from new articles to priority pages.
Free tool
Find internal link opportunities before pages go live.
Internal links help new articles support important pages. The checker helps identify where a draft should link and which existing pages should link back.
Find existing pages that should link to new content.
Avoid orphaned content inside topic clusters.
What it checks
The checker reviews the target page, the draft topic, existing related pages, and the role each page should play in the cluster.
It looks for links from the new page to priority pages and links from existing pages back to the new content.
Why it matters
Articles that publish without links are harder for users and search engines to place inside the site.
Internal links explain topic relationships, help new pages get discovered, and move readers toward pages with stronger business value.
How to read the output
A useful link plan should name the destination page, the reason for the link, and a natural anchor idea.
It should also separate must-have links from optional links so the article does not become cluttered.
What good anchors look like
Good anchor text describes the destination in plain language. It should not repeat the same exact keyword across every article.
Examples include editorial standards, CMS publishing support, content gap analysis, or related guide, depending on the sentence.
What to do before publishing
Add links from the article to relevant pages, then update existing related pages to link back after publication.
That second step is often missed, but it is what prevents new content from becoming orphaned.
How Gadex uses it
Internal link targets are prepared with each draft so publishing teams do not need to rebuild the link plan later.
The link plan travels with the article brief, metadata, and CMS notes.
