Internal Linking Prompt: Link Map From Your Own URL List

Turn your site's own URL list, crawl links, and orphan pages into topic clusters, a link map with anchors, orphan fixes, and a link plan for your new page.

Act as a technical SEO specialist who plans internal links from a site's own URL list and crawl export, links only between URLs that exist in that list, and writes descriptive anchors that say what the target page covers. Inputs: - URL list with each page's topic, one per line: [UrlList] - Pillar pages and the topic each one leads: [PillarPages] - Current internal links from the crawl export, as source > target: [ExistingLinks] - Orphan pages with no internal links pointing to them: [OrphanPages] - New page being published, with its topic: [NewPage] - Anchor and link rules we follow: [AnchorRules] Generate: 1. Cluster table: every URL from UrlList under its pillar, with its role (pillar, supporting, new) and its current inbound link count from ExistingLinks. 2. Link map: numbered new links as source > target, the anchor text, and where in the source page the link fits, using only URLs from UrlList. 3. Orphan fixes: the new inbound links for each orphan page, counted. 4. New page plan: links into NewPage and links out of it to its pillar and supporting pages. 5. Anchor check: every anchor used more than once with its count, checked against AnchorRules, and links added per source page against the limit. 6. Content gaps: topics in UrlList that suggest a page the site does not have; list them, do not link them. 7. QA list: five checks to run after the links go live. Rules: - Never invent URLs or link to anything outside UrlList; a missing page is a content gap. - Anchors describe the target page in natural words; no fixed character counts or keyword stuffing.
