- 146 Sample fixes surfaced
On a typical mid-size site, internal-link work produces 100+ ranked fixes per audit.

Re-run after every site change. The graph stays healthy as the site grows.
What Link Intelligence does
The work, broken into pieces your team can review.
- 01 Internal-link graph
Every page mapped against every link in and out. Orphans, dead-ends, and weak clusters surfaced.
- 02 Anchor-text suggestions
Where pages are linking with weak or generic anchors, drafted replacements that match query intent.
- 03 Cluster mapping
Topic clusters mapped against the page graph. Where a cluster lacks a hub or fails to converge, the gap is named.
- 04 Backlink intelligence
Ahrefs API powers external link analysis: referring domains, lost links, and competitor backlink gaps surfaced in the same workspace.
Where Link Intelligence sits in Marketing AI.
Sites with 100+ pages where internal-link health is the difference between ranking and not. Especially content-led B2B SaaS, law firms, and any site with topic clusters.
Common questions
Link Intelligence - what people ask first.
How is this different from Ahrefs Site Audit?
Ahrefs Site Audit shows you the issues; Link Intelligence ranks them by business impact and ships drafted fixes. Same data, different unit of work.
Can it suggest backlink targets?
Yes. Competitor referring domains you do not have are surfaced as ranked targets, with the page on your site that should earn the link.
What about internal-link automation?
Marketing AI does not auto-link content. Every link change ships in the queue for approval - editorial decisions stay with your team.
How does this connect to content?
Content at Scale uses Link Intelligence cluster maps to suggest internal links during draft generation. Where the new page belongs in the graph is part of the brief.
