# How to Use Internal Link Suggestion Tool the Right Way (2026)

Getting internal linking strategy right isn't complicated, but it does have a correct order of operations — skip a step and the rest of the work doesn't hold up as well.

Start here:
1. Link from your highest-authority pages (usually the homepage and top organic-traffic pages) down to newer or underperforming content that needs a boost.
2. Use descriptive, varied anchor text instead of generic 'click here' — anchor text is a relevance signal for the linked page's topic.
3. Add contextual links within body content, not just navigation — in-content links carry more topical relevance signal than boilerplate menu links.
4. Revisit old, high-traffic posts periodically to add links to newer related content — this is one of the highest-leverage, lowest-effort SEO habits.

Once that's in place, the real value comes from doing it consistently rather than once. Internal Link Suggestion Tool is one of those tasks that pays off more from a regular check-in than from a single perfect pass.

A mistake worth calling out specifically: Letting orphaned pages (zero internal links pointing to them) accumulate — if nothing on your own site links to a page, don't expect Google to prioritize it either. This is common enough that it's worth a deliberate check, not just an assumption that it isn't happening.

This pairs naturally with Schema Generator best practices — the two are frequently part of the same technical SEO pass, and fixing one without the other leaves an easy win on the table.

Internal Link Suggestion Tool does the mechanical part of this for you — the judgment calls above still matter, but the setup and checking becomes a couple of minutes' work instead of a spreadsheet.
