What are SEO quick wins for internal linking?
Short answer: Fix orphan pages, add descriptive anchors to priority pages, and link from high-authority posts — fast lift in crawl, relevance, and clicks.
In two sentences
Internal links are the cheapest way to pass authority to important pages. Identify orphan/low-linked pages, then add 2–3 contextual links from top posts with relevant anchor text.
Deep dive
- Find targets: In Search Console, spot pages with impressions but low clicks; add service and local pages.
- Link sources: Your homepage, top posts, and pillar pages. Place links in body copy or a small “Related” block.
- Anchors: Natural partial matches (e.g., “Fractional CMO pricing”), avoid generic “read more”.
- Orphans: Give every page at least 1–2 incoming internal links.
- Cadence: Fix 5–10 pages per week; re-crawl in GSC.
