SEOSage is an internal linking tool: it shows which pages link to which, and where to add the missing links.

Read the video transcript

Internal linking, without the guesswork. See how many pages link to each page, and which ones nothing links to. For those pages, SEOSage suggests where to add the link, and what to write. It also finds broken links and links that redirect, with the pages they sit on. You add the link, then crawl again to confirm. Start your fourteen-day free trial at seosage.co.

What the internal linking checks cover

Suggestions are matched by topic from the words in each page's title, heading and address. They are a starting point for you to review, not an automatic edit.

  • Link suggestions: up to three related pages to link from, and never a hidden, redirecting or broken one
  • Page links to a redirect: a link points at a URL that redirects instead of the final address
  • Page has no outgoing links: a dead-end page with nothing to click
  • Broken internal links: found in the same crawl, with the page each one is on
  • Does not edit your site: SEOSage only reads your pages; you add the links yourself

What is an internal linking tool?

An internal linking tool is software that analyzes the links between your own pages and identifies where links are missing, broken, or pointing to redirects. Good internal linking helps search engines understand which pages are most important, how pages relate to each other, and which pages to crawl and index. An internal linking tool automates an audit that would take hours to do manually on any site larger than a few dozen pages.

Most internal linking problems come in three forms: orphan pages (pages nothing on the site links to), dead-end pages (pages that link to nothing else on the site), and stale links (links that point to a redirect or a 404 page). A site crawler finds all three automatically and can suggest which pages should link to which, based on topic similarity between page headings and content.

Why internal linking matters for SEO

  • Links pass authority (PageRank) from high-value pages to newer or thinner ones
  • Internal links help Google discover and index pages it might otherwise miss
  • Anchor text signals tell Google what each linked page is about
  • A well-linked page ranks better than an identical but isolated page
  • Fixing links to redirects after a migration prevents link-equity from leaking through extra redirect hops

What to look for in an internal linking tool

  • A crawl that covers every page with no page-count limit, not just a sample
  • Actionable suggestions for which pages should link where — not just a list of problems
  • Detection of links to redirects (a common issue after site migrations)
  • Integration with the rest of a technical SEO audit, so you are not managing a separate tool just for links
  • A re-check feature that confirms a fix without needing to re-crawl the whole site

Questions about internal linking tool

What does an internal linking tool do?

It helps you link your own pages together. SEOSage finds pages that nothing links to and suggests which related pages should link to them.

Does SEOSage add the links for me?

No. It only reads your website. You get the page to edit and the anchor text to use, and you add the link yourself.

How are the suggestions chosen?

By topic. SEOSage compares the words in each page's title, heading and address, ignores very common words, and never suggests hidden, redirecting or broken pages.

Does it find broken internal links too?

Yes. Broken links and links that point to a redirect are found in the same crawl.

Is there a free version?

There is a free internal link checker that tests the links on one page. SEOSage crawls the whole site and gives the link suggestions.

Is there a limit on pages?

No. SEOSage has no page limit, so you can run it on a large site.
