Example
A GEO glossary page links to methodology and implementation, while the guide links back only where the definition helps the reader.
Glossary · internal-link graph
The graph helps analyze discovery, hierarchy, topic relationships and likely authority flow. It cannot prove how a search engine values any individual link.
Why it matters: valuable pages can remain orphaned or semantically isolated.
In practice
A GEO glossary page links to methodology and implementation, while the guide links back only where the definition helps the reader.
Track crawl depth, orphan nodes, inlinks, outlinks, anchor context, broken edges and topic-community structure.
Propose source paragraph, destination, anchor and reader reason; validate the rendered link after approval.
