Strategically shaping internal links to prioritize and channel authority to key pages.
Internal link sculpting adjusts which pages receive links and how often to channel authority and relevance toward high-priority pages. It involves refining navigation, contextual links, and cross-linking within clusters—without resorting to manipulative tactics that harm UX.
