As for other case studies we’ve done, automating internal linking as well as the ‘About‘ and ‘FAQ‘ schema played a major role in the Serps and organic traffic improvements we highlighted above.

Aside from this, the owner of this project also used Inlinks’ Content Optimization Tool to optimize the content around the concept of entities in SEO and thus making it more understandable by the search engines.

    Interesting – thanks for sharing Karim.
    Question – What is the % of the optimized page compare to the entire site? I imagine that – when we improve Google’s understanding for certain pages of a site; it would also help the machine understand other “un-optimized” pages. Is that the case in your experience?

      Hello Jerry,

      The owner of this website used Inlinks only for the ‘Resources’ section, it’s a kind of a learning center where they publish articles about cybersecurity topics. The resources section of this website has approximately 300 pages while the main site has approximately 4K pages.

      In my experience, the “un-optimized” pages on an Inlinks project are also positively impacted (not only the ones that get internal links and schema markup). I assume Google is able to understand these “un-optimized” pages through the internal linking structure we establish on Inlinks.

      Have a great day !
