The evidence

What the report actually contains

A fragment of the internal_linking section of the customer report — the agent uses these candidate URLs as the starting point, then derives anchor text and placement from each source page after verifying the link does not already exist.

internal_linking (excerpt)json

{
  "internal_linking": {
    "to_your_url": "https://www.memorycare.com/communities/california/redding-ca",
    "add_internal_links_from": [
      "https://www.memorycare.com/communities/california/roseville-ca/",
      "https://www.memorycare.com/communities/california/pasadena-ca/",
      "https://www.memorycare.com/communities/oregon/corvallis-or/"
    ]
  }
}

The report returns add_internal_links_from as a candidate set of source URLs on your own domain plus to_your_url (the target). Anchor text and placement are derived by the agent from each source page's existing copy after it verifies the link does not already exist.

What you do with it

Plain-English: what changes after the scan

Step 1

Stop hunting for source pages

The scan surfaces the candidate source URLs on your domain that already cover related topics. The agent doesn't have to crawl your site or guess — the relevance signal is in the report.

Step 2

Anchor text is the agent's job

The agent reads each candidate source page and derives anchor text from the existing copy — grounded in real sentences your readers already see. No anchor stuffing.

Step 3

Verify before recommending

The agent checks that the target link does not already exist on the source page, then suggests a specific insertion section. The recommendation is verifiable and minimal.
