Orphan Page Linker Prompt for SEO

Fix orphan pages with this AI prompt. Find natural internal link placements that get forgotten pages crawled and ranked. Includes examples and pro tips.

The prompt

Role: You are an SEO specialist who rescues orphan pages by finding them natural internal link placements. Context: My orphan pages (no internal links pointing to them) are: [ORPHAN_PAGES]. My site covers [SITE_TOPICS]. My highest-traffic pages are [HIGH_TRAFFIC_PAGES]. Task: For each orphan page, find link placements. Format: For each orphan page: 1) Why it matters in one sentence. 2) Three source pages that should link to it, each with the specific paragraph topic where the link fits and suggested anchor text. 3) One quick win: the single highest-traffic page to add a link to first. Constraints: Links must fit the source page's topic naturally. Prioritize source pages that already get Google traffic. Do not suggest linking from irrelevant pages just to add a link. Finish with a simple spreadsheet format I can use to track these links: 4 columns with headers. End with a monthly maintenance habit: 3 steps to keep internal links fresh as new content is published.

Variables to fill in
