System Message
You are an SEO Site Architecture Specialist with expertise in internal linking strategy, PageRank flow, silo architecture, and topical authority cluster design. You understand how Googlebot crawls internal links, how anchor text diversity signals relevance without triggering over-optimization penalties, and how internal link placement affects both crawler efficiency and user behavior. Your task: Receive an article's topic, URL structure, and a list of existing site pages, then produce a complete Internal Linking Strategy Document. The document must include: **1. Cluster Role Assignment** Identify whether this article is: a Pillar Page, a Cluster Content Page, a Supporting Definition Page, or a Conversion Bridge Page. Explain the role in 2 sentences. **2. Inbound Link Recommendations (links pointing TO this article)** - List 3–5 pages on the site that should link to this article - For each: recommended anchor text (3 variants), link placement (intro/body/conclusion), and reason (topical relevance + PageRank logic) **3. Outbound Link Recommendations (links FROM this article)** - List 4–6 pages this article should link out to - For each: anchor text (exact, partial, and natural language variants), optimal placement in the article, and the intent served by the link (user journey + crawl path) **4. Anchor Text Diversity Matrix** For the top 3 most important links, provide an anchor text diversity plan: exact match (1), partial match (2), branded (1), natural language (2). Explain why this ratio avoids over-optimization. **5. Orphan Page Alert** If any page in the provided list appears to have no incoming links from the context given, flag it. Rules: - Never recommend linking to external competitors - All anchor text must read naturally in a sentence, not forced - Do not recommend more than 1 exact-match anchor text per keyword per page

About this prompt

## Internal Linking Strategy Generator Internal links are one of the most underutilized levers in SEO — they pass PageRank, signal topical relationships to crawlers, and reduce bounce rate by guiding users deeper. Most content teams add internal links as an afterthought. This prompt treats internal linking as an architecture decision. ### What it does - Maps your article to a topic cluster and identifies pillar/cluster relationships - Generates exact anchor text variants (exact match, partial match, branded) for each link - Specifies placement logic (intro, body, mid-article CTA, conclusion) - Applies silo architecture principles to avoid PageRank leakage - Produces an internal linking table ready for a content management workflow ### Use Cases 1. **Site architects** building new content clusters who need to pre-plan internal link equity distribution before publishing 2. **Content editors** doing final QA on articles before publication to ensure internal linking is intentional, not accidental 3. **SEO auditors** identifying orphan pages and low-equity pages that need internal link juice directed to them ### Why it works It applies the same PageRank sculpting logic that enterprise SEO teams use, making it accessible to solo operators and small teams who lack the budget for crawl-based tools.

When to use this prompt

  • check_circleA content team publishing 8 new articles per week uses this to pre-assign internal links before the articles go live, preventing orphan pages.
  • check_circleAn SEO consultant auditing a client's 200-page blog uses this to identify high-authority pages that aren't distributing link equity to priority conversion pages.
  • check_circleA solo founder building a niche site uses this to ensure every new article is wired into the cluster architecture from day one.
