Topic clusters mapped from your real sitemap. Pillar pages identified by ranking + traffic data. Per-page anchor brief with exact suggestion. Orphan discovery so no page gets stranded. Site architecture strengthened, no manual sitemap-scraping required.
Sitemap in. Topic clusters out. Pillar / spoke roles assigned. Per-page anchor brief generated. Orphans surfaced. Architecture decisions backed by data.
Topic clusters from your real sitemap. Per-page anchor briefs. Orphan discovery. Site architecture treated like architecture — not a one-off spreadsheet exercise.
Topic clustering from your real sitemap with auto-assigned pillar + spoke roles. No manual cluster spreadsheets. No "is this page a pillar or a spoke" debates — the data answers it.
For every page, exact anchor text suggestion per recommended source page. Writers get copy-ready anchors, not vague "add internal links" instructions.
Every page with zero internal inbound links surfaced and prioritized by traffic potential. Per-orphan: which pages should link to it, with anchor text.
Sites grow. Pages get added, removed, re-linked. Schedule weekly re-crawls so the cluster map + orphan list + anchor briefs stay current without manual re-work.
Before/after for SEO + content teams replacing ad-hoc internal linking with cluster-driven architecture.
| Area | Before | After | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cluster Definition | Spreadsheet exercise from memory | Auto-clustered from real sitemap | Data-driven |
| Pillar Assignment | Subjective | Auto-assigned by traffic + content depth | Quantified |
| Anchor Text | "Add a link here somewhere" | Exact anchor text suggested per page | Copy-ready |
| Orphan Detection | Never done, or once a year | Continuous detection + prioritized | Surfaced |
| Link Brief Generation | Manual per writer | Per-page brief auto-generated | Standardized |
| Re-Crawl Cadence | Annual at best | Weekly scheduled re-runs | Always current |
| Architecture Decisions | "We should add more internal links" | Per-page priority recommendations | Defensible |
Internal Links adapts to the team — SEO lead maintaining clusters, content ops standardizing anchors, agency auditing client architecture, founder fixing solo-built sites.
Weekly re-crawls keep your cluster map current as the site grows. Orphan list updates automatically. Per-page anchor briefs regenerate so writers always get current recommendations.
Every new article gets a per-page anchor brief automatically. Writers see exactly which existing pages to link from and what anchor text to use — no more "where should I add internal links" questions.
Paste client sitemap, run cluster mapping + orphan discovery. Deliver a defensible audit: 18 orphans, 3 weak clusters, 78 high-priority link adds. Client sees the architecture problem quantified, not narrated.
Per-client workspace isolation. Bulk sitemap crawls. Per-client cluster maps + orphan lists + per-page anchor briefs. Architecture work scales without scaling the team.
You shipped your site fast and never went back to clean up internal linking. Run Internal Links on your sitemap. Get an orphan list, a cluster map, and exact anchor suggestions. Ship the fixes yourself in a weekend.
Pre-migration: run cluster map + anchor brief on the current site. Post-migration: re-run + compare. Surface anchor-text losses and cluster integrity breaks. Restore lost internal-link equity.

Internal Links is QueryMint's site-architecture module. We crawl your sitemap, cluster pages by topic similarity, auto-assign pillar / spoke roles, generate per-page anchor briefs with exact suggested anchor text, and surface orphan pages with zero inbound internal links. Site architecture treated like architecture — not a one-off spreadsheet exercise.
We extract content from every page in your sitemap, run topic similarity analysis via Claude, and group pages into clusters. The page with the broadest content + highest traffic in each cluster becomes the pillar; the rest become spokes.
For every page: which other pages should link to it (inbound recommendations), which pages it should link to (outbound recommendations), the exact anchor text suggested per recommendation, the position in the source page where the link should go, and a priority score by ranking impact.
After crawling your sitemap and mapping the internal link graph, every page with zero inbound internal links is flagged as an orphan. Each orphan gets a per-orphan suggestion: which pages should link to it, with anchor text. Prioritized by traffic potential via GSC integration.
Depends on sitemap size. Typical SaaS sites (under 500 pages) complete in under 5 minutes. Larger sites (5,000+ pages) take 15-30 minutes. Cron-driven for scheduled re-crawls.
Yes — weekly, monthly, or manual. Cluster maps + orphan lists + anchor briefs auto-update on schedule so architecture decisions are always made on current data.
Credit-based per sitemap crawl. See the pricing page. $1 trial for 7 days on signup — card required; converts to Starter at $29/mo unless cancelled.
Yes — anchor suggestions can route directly to the post editor (WordPress) or CMS editor (Webflow) so writers see suggestions in-context without leaving the editor.
Yes — tested on sitemaps up to 50,000 pages. Larger sites use sectional re-crawls (crawl /blog/* this week, /docs/* next week) to spread credit cost over time.
Yes — CSV with full link recommendation queue, markdown for CMS edits, PDF audit report for client deliverables.
Sign up free, paste your sitemap URL, run the crawl. Cluster map + orphan list + per-page anchor briefs land in under 5 minutes for typical sites. See pricing →
