Activate when the user wants to build an internal linking strategy or find link opportunities.","description":"# SEO-AEO Internal Linking\n\n## Overview\n\nAnalyses a set of pages and produces a prioritised list of internal link opportunities with exact anchor text, a context sentence showing where each link should appear, orphan page detection, anchor text cannibalization warnings, and a link equity map showing how authority flows across the content.\n\nPart of the [SEO-AEO Engine](https://github.com/mrprewsh/seo-aeo-engine).\n\n## When to Use This Skill\n\n- Use when building internal links between a new pillar page and its cluster articles\n- Use when auditing an existing site for orphan pages\n- Use after content-cluster generates a topic map\n- Use when you need anchor text suggestions with placement context\n\n## How It Works\n\n### Step 1: Detect Orphan Pages\nFlag any page with zero incoming internal links. These are invisible to search engines and must be linked immediately.\n\n### Step 2: Build Semantic Overlap Matrix\nMatch pages by primary keyword similarity and content summary to identify natural linking opportunities.\n\n### Step 3: Assign Link Types\nEvery suggestion gets one of four labels:\n- **Cluster → Pillar** — highest priority, consolidates authority upward\n- **Pillar → Cluster** — distributes authority downward\n- **Cluster → Cluster** — builds semantic depth\n- **Contextual Boost** — concentrates equity on a focus page\n\n### Step 4: Write Context Sentences\nFor every link opportunity, write the sentence the anchor text should appear in — naturally placed, not forced.\n\n### Step 5: Check Anchor Text\nFlag any exact-match anchor used more than once for the same target page as a cannibalization risk. Never use generic anchors like \"click here\".\n\n## Examples\n\n### Example: Link Opportunity Output\n🔴 High Priority — Link 1\nType: Cluster → Pillar\nSource: \"How to Build a Budget That Actually Works\"\nTarget: \"The Complete Guide to Automated Budgeting\"\nAnchor: \"automated budgeting guide\"\nContext: \"For a full breakdown of every method available,\nsee our [automated budgeting guide].\"\nImpact: Consolidates topical authority on pillar page.\nOrphan Alert:\n\"PennyWise Pricing Page\" has no incoming links.\nFix: Add link from comparison table in Article 2.\n\n## Best Practices\n\n- ✅ **Do:** Every cluster article must have at least one Cluster → Pillar link\n- ✅ **Do:** Write a context sentence for every suggestion — anchor text needs natural placement\n- ✅ **Do:** Fix orphan pages before adding any new links\n- ❌ **Don't:** Use the same exact-match anchor for the same target page more than once\n- ❌ **Don't:** Use \"click here\", \"read more\", or \"learn more\" as anchor text — ever\n- ❌ **Don't:** Add more than 100 outgoing internal links on any single page\n\n## Common Pitfalls\n\n- **Problem:** All cluster articles link to the pillar but not to each other\n  **Solution:** Add Cluster → Cluster links between semantically related articles to build depth.\n\n- **Problem:** Same anchor text used across multiple pages for the same target\n  **Solution:** Use partial match and branded anchors for subsequent links after the first exact-match use.\n\n## Related Skills\n\n- `@seo-aeo-content-cluster` — generates the cluster map this skill links together\n- `@seo-aeo-schema-generator` — uses link map output for BreadcrumbList schema\n\n## Additional Resources\n\n- [SEO-AEO Engine Repository](https://github.com/mrprewsh/seo-aeo-engine)\n- [Full Internal Linking SKILL.md](https://github.com/mrprewsh/seo-aeo-engine/blob/main/.agent/skills/internal-linking/SKILL.md)\n\n## Limitations\n- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.\n- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.\n- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.","tags":["seo","aeo","internal","linking","antigravity","awesome","skills","sickn33","agent-skills","agentic-skills","ai-agent-skills","ai-agents"],"capabilities":["skill","source-sickn33","skill-seo-aeo-internal-linking","topic-agent-skills","topic-agentic-skills","topic-ai-agent-skills","topic-ai-agents","topic-ai-coding","topic-ai-workflows","topic-antigravity","topic-antigravity-skills","topic-claude-code","topic-claude-code-skills","topic-codex-cli","topic-codex-skills"],"categories":["antigravity-awesome-skills"],"synonyms":[],"warnings":[],"endpointUrl":"https://skills.sh/sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills/seo-aeo-internal-linking","protocol":"skill","transport":"skills-sh","auth":{"type":"none","details":{"cli":"npx
