How Link Mapping Works
From crawling to optimization in four simple steps
Crawl Your Site

Organize into Clusters
Group related pages into topic clusters. Create hub-and-spoke structures. Add custom categories and icons for organization.
Analyze Links
View all internal links between pages. See anchor text used. Identify orphan pages and missing connections.
Optimize & Report
Use insights to improve internal linking strategy. Share visual maps with clients to demonstrate site architecture improvements.
