Internal Linking Structure Setup That Puts Your Best Pages Within Reach of Shoppers and Google

Packages start at $490 for Link Map, $890 for Hub and Spoke and $1,490 for Site Graph. Store size, how many articles need links and how far the menus change are added in the calculator, so most stores land between roughly $500 and $2,100. You see the exact fee on screen before payment.

What is internal linking, in plain terms? It is every link from one page of your store to another: menus, breadcrumbs, product cards, related blocks and links inside text. Search engines use them to discover pages and judge how pages relate, and shoppers use them to move around.

Does internal linking help SEO? Google uses links to find pages and understand relationships, so pages with clear, crawlable paths are found sooner and understood better. It will not replace good content or backlinks, and results vary, but pages nobody links to rarely perform.

How many internal links per page SEO needs has no official figure. Google publishes no limit, so the practical rule is usefulness: each link should help a visitor go somewhere sensible. Menus add many on every page, so we keep them focused and place contextual links where they fit.

In content, highlight the words in the rich text editor and paste the page address. In menus, use Online Store, Navigation. Template-level links need Liquid edits. Doing this at scale is slow and easy to get wrong, which is where a planned map saves time.

Link to the canonical product address, give every page at least one crawlable path, use descriptive anchors, keep priority pages within a few clicks and update links when handles change. We apply these internal linking best practices in the theme, not page by page.

We crawl with a desktop crawler such as Screaming Frog, compare the result with the Links report and Pages report in Google Search Console and use the Shopify admin to check collections and menus. Tools find the problems; judging which links matter is still a human decision.

Yes, that is the first step of every tier. The crawl records every URL's inlinks, click depth and status code, and flags orphans and redirected links. You receive the export, so the evidence remains yours whether or not you continue.

An internal linking SEO service decides which pages deserve strength and writes the links into templates and content. Apps usually inject keyword links by rule, which can repeat anchors and add scripts. A planned structure is cleaner and lighter.

Shopify exposes products at two addresses, one inside a collection and one plain, with a canonical to the plain one. Menus nest three levels, and many themes load related blocks or more products after the page appears. Each habit needs a specific check.

No, not unless you ask. Changing handles creates redirects and risk. We fix links to point at the addresses you already use. If a rename is truly worth it, we plan the redirects first and update every internal link to the new address.

Link Map takes 3 to 5 working days, Hub and Spoke 6 to 9 and Site Graph 9 to 14, before options. More URLs, more articles or a rebuilt mega menu add days, and the calculator shows your estimate. Sooner and Fastest options shorten the window.

We write links as plain Liquid and content, with no extra scripts, so page speed is untouched. We also leave a rule set and a checklist for new products and posts, and the metafield blocks pick up new items once related collections are chosen.

We cannot guarantee rankings, since competition and content decide them. We do deliver a second crawl, a Search Console comparison and a written guide. Site Graph includes 14 days of fixes, and a 30-day support extra is available.
