Inlinks

The internal links pointing to a page from other pages on the same site.

CrawlerCrawling & Technical SEOAlso known as: Internal inbound links

Definition

Inlinks are the links a page receives from elsewhere on your site. A crawler builds the list by recording every link it finds and grouping them by destination.

Each inlink carries anchor text, which tells search engines and AI systems what the destination page is about.

Why It Matters

Pages with few inlinks are harder to discover and receive less internal link equity. Inlinks to broken or redirected URLs waste that equity.

How VisibilityKit Helps

VisibilityKit Crawler lists the inlinks for every URL, with the source page and anchor text, so you can see where a broken link lives and which pages to update.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are inlinks the same as backlinks?

No. Inlinks come from your own site. Backlinks come from other sites.

How many inlinks should a page have?

There is no fixed number. Important pages should have more inlinks than minor ones.
