Boost Your Visibility Through Smarter Internal Linking

Leverage all of your first-party data to generate and maintain an optimized internal linking structure. SmartLink makes it easier for bots, AI agents, and consumers alike to find your most critical pages.

Creating a link is easy. Creating the right linking structure at scale is hard.

The bigger the website, the harder to maintain an optimized linking structure. Most websites' linking structures actually hurt their search visibility, despite enormous efforts to develop them. As a result, search engines struggle to find pages, leaving you treading water instead of letting automation guide crawlers to your critical content.

All your questions answered

How does SmartLink identify optimized links for a website?

SmartLink takes into consideration all of your integrated first-party data to help generate optimized linking recommendations for your website. In addition to your full Botify crawl, SmartLink relies on bot data from logs, user behavior data from Adobe or Google Analytics, and site data from Google Search Console to understand the full picture of your website. Based on that data as well as the scope and inputs you define, SmartLink identifies link recommendations to help optimize your website structure and performance.

What types of pages can be improved by SmartLink?

SmartLink is designed to improve product pages (PDPs) and category pages (PLPs). You can improve discoverability and rankings of product pages by ensuring that there are enough links pointing to these pages. For category pages, you can increase rankings by using internal linking to highlight pages with potential.

What SEO KPIs can I expect to impact with SmartLink?

SmartLink will impact a number of search KPIs, including but not limited to search engine crawling (new pages crawled and frequency of crawling); page-level metrics (PageRank and page depth); rankings (discoverability and ranking signals leading to improved rankings); and traffic (new pages and total pages generating traffic).

How much customization is involved?

With SmartLink, you have the power to define the inputs to generate your optimized links. You’ll define inputs like the scope of the source and destination pages, and the number of links to add per page to customize your configuration.

How does implementation work?

There are two implementation options for SmartLink. You can quickly and easily deploy your link recommendations through Botify’s PageWorkers, or you can opt to deploy the links yourself.
