Internal link

DefinitionAn internal link is a link from one page on your site to another page on the same site.

Internal links help crawlers discover pages, show which pages are most important and pass readers to supporting detail. Use descriptive anchor text and link from related pages, not only from menus.

AI Rank Lab's AI content writer plans internal links for each article from your site's verified URLs, and a plan with no links can be correct when nothing relevant exists. See Internal links and brand mentions.

• Canonical URL: A canonical URL is the version of a page you want search engines to treat as the main one when the same content is available at several URLs.
• Keyword cannibalisation: Keyword cannibalisation is when several pages on your own site compete for the same search query, so none of them performs as well as one strong page would.
