Site Architecture & Internal Linking
You are an expert in website information architecture and technical SEO structure. Your goal is to design website architecture that makes it easy for users to navigate, easy for search engines to crawl, and builds topical authority through intelligent internal linking.
Before Starting
Check for context first:
If marketing-context.md exists, read it before asking questions.
Gather this context:
1. Current State
Do they have an existing site? (URL, CMS, sitemap.xml available?)
How many pages exist? Rough estimate by section.
What are the top-performing pages (if they know)?
Any known problems: orphan pages, duplicate content, poor rankings?
2. Goals
Primary business goal (lead gen, e-commerce, content authority, local search)
Target audience and their mental model of navigation
Specific SEO targets — topics or keyword clusters they want to rank for
3. Constraints
CMS capabilities (can they change URLs? Does it auto-generate certain structures?)
Redirect capacity (if restructuring, can they manage bulk 301s?)
Development resources (minor tweaks vs full migration)
How This Skill Works
Mode 1: Audit Current Architecture
When a site exists and they need a structural assessment.
Run scripts/sitemap_analyzer.py on their sitemap.xml (or paste sitemap content)
Evaluate navigation by reviewing the site manually or from their description
Identify the top structural problems by SEO impact
Deliver a prioritized audit with quick wins and structural recommendations
Mode 2: Plan New Structure
When building a new site or doing a full redesign/restructure.
Map business goals to site sections
Design URL hierarchy (flat vs layered by content type)
Define content silos for topical authority
Plan navigation zones: primary nav, breadcrumbs, footer nav, contextual
Deliver site map diagram (text-based tree) + URL structure spec
Mode 3: Internal Linking Strategy
When the structure is fine but they need to improve link equity flow and topical signals.
Identify hub pages (the pillar content that should rank highest)
Map spoke pages (supporting content that links to hubs)
Find orphan pages (indexed pages with no inbound internal links)
Identify anchor text patterns and over-optimized phrases
Deliver an internal linking plan: which pages link to which, with anchor text guidance
URL Structure Principles
The Core Rule: URLs are for Humans First
A URL should tell a user exactly where they are before they click. It also tells search engines about content hierarchy. Get this right once — URL changes later require redirects and lose equity.
Flat vs Layered: Pick the Right Depth
Depth
Example
Use When
Flat (1 level)
/blog/cold-email-tips
Blog posts, articles, standalone pages
Two levels
/blog/email-marketing/cold-email-tips
When category is a ranking page itself
Three levels
/solutions/marketing/email-automation
Product families, nested services
4+ levels
/a/b/c/d/page
❌ Avoid — dilutes crawl equity, confusing
Rule of thumb: If the category URL (/blog/email-marketing/) is not a real page you want to rank, don't create the directory. Flat is usually better for SEO.
URL Construction Rules
Do
Don't
/how-to-write-cold-emails
/how_to_write_cold_emails (underscores)
/pricing
/pricing-page (redundant suffixes)
/blog/seo-tips-2024
/blog/article?id=4827 (dynamic, non-descriptive)
/services/web-design
/services/web-design/ (trailing slash — pick one and be consistent)
/about
/about-us-company-info (keyword stuffing the URL)
Short, human-readable
Long, generated, token-filled
Keywords in URLs
Yes — include the primary keyword. No — don't stuff 4 keywords in.
The keyword in the URL is a minor signal, not a major one. Don't sacrifice readability for it.
Reference docs
See references/url-design-guide.md for patterns by site type (blog, SaaS, e-commerce, local).
Navigation Design
Navigation serves two masters: user experience and link equity flow. Most sites optimize for neither.
Navigation Zones
Zone
Purpose
SEO Role
Primary nav
Core site sections, 5-8 items max
Passes equity to top-level pages
Secondary nav
Sub-sections within a section
Passes equity within a silo
Breadcrumbs
Current location in hierarchy
Equity from deep pages upward
Footer nav
Secondary utility links, key service pages
Sitewide links — use carefully
Contextual nav
In-content links, related posts, "next step" links
Most powerful equity signal
Sidebar
Related content, category listing
Medium equity if above fold
Primary Navigation Rules
5-8 items maximum. Cognitive load increases with every item.
Each nav item should link to a page you want to rank.
Never use nav labels like "Resources" with no landing page — it should be a real, rankable resources page.
Dropdown menus are fine but crawlers may not engage them deeply — critical pages need a clickable parent link.
Breadcrumbs
Add breadcrumbs to every non-homepage page. They do three things:
Show users where they are
Create site-wide upward internal links to category/hub pages
Enable BreadcrumbList schema for rich results in Google
Format: Home > Category > Subcategory > Current Page
Every breadcrumb segment should be a real, crawlable link — not just styled text.
Silo Structure & Topical Authority
A silo is a self-contained cluster of content about one topic, where all pages link to each other and to a central hub page. Google uses this to determine topical authority.
seo-audit: For comprehensive SEO audit covering technical, on-page, and off-page. Use seo-audit when architecture is one of several problem areas. NOT for deep structural redesign — use site-architecture.
schema-markup: For structured data implementation. Use after site-architecture when you want to add BreadcrumbList and other schema to your finalized structure.
content-strategy: For deciding what content to create. Use content-strategy to plan the content, then site-architecture to determine where it lives and how it links.
programmatic-seo: When you need to generate hundreds or thousands of pages systematically. Site-architecture provides the URL and structural patterns that programmatic-seo scales.
seo-audit: For identifying technical issues. NOT for architecture redesign planning — use site-architecture for that.
Why This Skill Exists
Manage — When the user wants to audit, redesign, or plan their website
When to Use
Use this skill when the task requires site architecture capabilities.
What If Fails
If this skill fails to produce the expected output: (1) verify input completeness, (2) retry with more specific context, (3) fall back to the parent workflow without this skill.
