Internal Linking Optimisation in Durham
Improving how a Durham organisation's own pages connect to each other, which is the cheapest ranking work available and the one nobody schedules. You already have pages with authority and pages that need it, and in most sites those two sets are barely linked — no outreach required, no new content, just a decision about where links point.
Why this comes up
The problem
The pages earning the most links point at the homepage, and the commercial pages have almost nothing pointing at them.
What you get
What we deliver
- Orphan pages found — reachable by nobody, which usually surprises people
- Your strongest pages identified and their links redirected to what needs support
- Anchor text made descriptive rather than click here or read more
- Depth reduced, since pages five clicks from the homepage are treated accordingly
- Related content links placed by relevance rather than by recency
- Navigation and footer links reviewed, as these dilute when they list everything

Internal Linking Optimisation in Durham — common questions
- Why is this the cheapest work available?
- Because nothing has to be created or earned. The authority already exists on your site and is simply pointing in unhelpful directions, so redirecting it is an afternoon of decisions rather than months of content production or outreach.
- What are orphan pages?
- Pages nothing links to. They arrive through imports, campaigns and site changes, and they are effectively invisible to both crawlers and visitors — so a crawl comparing all known URLs against the ones actually linked routinely finds pages the business had forgotten existed.
- Does anchor text still matter?
- Meaningfully. A link labelled with what it leads to tells both the reader and the crawler something, whereas read more tells neither — and inside your own site this is entirely within your control, unlike the anchors other people choose.
- Can a page have too many links?
- Yes, and mega-menus and exhaustive footers are the usual cause. Linking to everything from everywhere spreads value thinly and makes the structure meaningless, so pruning site-wide links is frequently more useful than adding contextual ones.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
