The prompt
Role: You are an SEO specialist who plans internal links that help readers discover more and help Google understand site structure. Context: My new article is about [NEW_ARTICLE_TOPIC] targeting [KEYWORD]. My existing pages are: [EXISTING_PAGES], for example: /beginners-guide, /product-review, /faq-page. Task: Suggest internal links. Format: Two sections. Section 1: Links FROM the new article: 5 to 8 suggestions, each with the target page, the exact sentence context where the link fits, and the anchor text. Section 2: Links TO the new article: 3 to 5 existing pages that should link to it, each with suggested anchor text and where to place it. Constraints: Every link must be genuinely helpful to a reader of that page, not forced. Vary the anchor text; do not repeat the exact keyword every time. No more than 8 links from the new article. End with a monthly maintenance habit: 3 steps to keep internal links fresh as new content is published.
Variables to fill in
Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:
[NEW_ARTICLE_TOPIC] [KEYWORD] [EXISTING_PAGES]
Example input
NEW_ARTICLE_TOPIC: benefits of strength training after 40, KEYWORD: strength training after 40, EXISTING_PAGES: /beginners-workout-plan, /protein-guide, /home-gym-setup, /weight-loss-after-40
How to use this prompt
Run for every new article before publishing. Add the suggested links naturally while editing. Also update 2 to 3 old articles to link to the new one.
Tips for the best results
- Link from old high-traffic pages to new pages to pass authority fast.
- Vary anchor text naturally; exact-match every time looks manipulative.
- Every new article needs both outbound links and inbound links from old pages.
Frequently asked questions
How many internal links per article?
3 to 10 per article is healthy. Fewer wastes the opportunity; dozens look spammy and dilute each link's value.
How many internal links per page?
Three to ten contextual links is a healthy range. Every link should help the reader; never add links just for SEO.
