What Shipped
New post: internal-linking-strategy-for-contractors.mdx — Fourth post in the on-page SEO series. Internal links pass link equity between pages and tell Google which content is related. Most contractor sites have zero deliberate internal linking — just nav and footer. Covers: how link equity flows, the service ↔ city page bidirectional link pattern, pillar-and-cluster structure, anchor text best practices, orphan pages (how to find and fix them), and the AI search connection. Internal links to title tags, meta descriptions, H1 structure, and schema markup posts. FAQ schema x4. 3 CTAs to /start.
Glossary update: +3 new terms: Link Equity (ranking authority that flows between pages via hyperlinks — the mechanism behind why internal links matter), Orphan Page (a page with no inbound internal links; starts with zero authority), Pillar Page (the primary hub page in a content cluster — receives links from all related city pages, sub-service pages, and blog posts). Internal Link term expanded with link to new post. Glossary now at 76 terms.
