Why This Matters

LLM Discoverability

Internal links distribute authority within the AI's site model; a well-connected site graph allows AI crawlers to discover deep pages that would otherwise be isolated and missed.

SEO Impact

Internal linking is the primary mechanism for distributing link equity across a site; pages with few inbound internal links are chronically under-indexed and under-ranked.
