Internal PageRank

The PageRank algorithm computed over your own site's internal links, showing which pages your link structure treats as most important.

CrawlerCrawling & Technical SEOAlso known as: Internal link equity, Link score

Definition

PageRank scores a page by how many pages link to it and how important those linking pages are. Computed on the link graph of a single site, it shows how link equity flows through your internal links.

It is different from third-party authority scores, which estimate strength from external backlinks.

Why It Matters

Internal PageRank shows whether your most valuable pages actually receive the most internal links. If a key product page scores low, your navigation is pointing attention somewhere else.

How VisibilityKit Helps

VisibilityKit Crawler computes actual PageRank on the link graph your crawl built, not a vendor score that stands in for link equity. Use it to find important pages that are under-linked and to check the effect of navigation changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is internal PageRank the same as Google PageRank?

It uses the same foundational algorithm but only over your own site's internal links. Google's version also uses links from other sites and many other signals.

How do I raise a page's internal PageRank?

Link to it from more pages, especially from pages that already score high, such as the homepage and main navigation.
