Page Management Guide

The Pages interface holds the pages your site has, the pages you are planning, and the parent-child relationships between them. Adding, editing and linking pages here is how a new site gets mapped out and how an existing one grows in line with its SEO strategy.

Accessing Page Management

You'll find the Pages interface in two places within LinkMap. The most direct route is through the "Pages" tab in the main navigation when viewing your site structure visualization. Alternatively, you can manage pages directly from the visualization by clicking any page node to open its details modal.

Adding New Pages

To add a new page to your site structure:

1. Click the "Add New Page" button at the top of the Pages table
2. Enter the required information:
   • URL - The page's path (e.g., /products/new-item)
   • Title - The page's title tag content
   • H1 - The main heading for the page
3. Click "Save" to add the page to your structure

Managing Page Properties

Each page in your structure has several properties that affect how it's positioned in your site's hierarchy and relationships. The URL serves as the page's address relative to your domain. The Title functions as the meta title used by search engines. The H1 represents the main heading displayed on the page. Depth indicates how many clicks from the homepage, which affects crawlability. PageValue is the page's share of authority within your own site, the same score that colors the visualization.

Editing Existing Pages

To modify a page's properties:

1. Find the page in the Pages table or click its node in the visualization
2. Click the "Edit" button (or click the node in the visualization)
3. Modify the desired fields in the edit form
4. Click "Save" to update the page

Setting Page Relationships

Pages in LinkMap can be connected through parent-child relationships, which shape both your site's structure and how each page scores. These relationships form the foundation for implementing your chosen optimization strategy.

Creating Relationships

There are two ways to establish relationships between pages:

1. In the visualization:
   • Click the link icon on the left side of the source node
   • Follow the guideline to the target node and click it
   • Confirm the new connection
2. Through the Relationships tab:
   • Click "Add New Relationship"
   • Select the source and target pages
   • Click Save to create the link

Deleting Pages

When you delete a page, LinkMap automatically handles relationship cleanup to maintain your site's structure integrity:

1. Find the page you want to remove
2. Click the "Delete" button
3. Confirm the deletion when prompted
4. LinkMap removes every relationship to and from the page, updates the visualization, and recalculates PageValue for the pages affected.

Planning Future Content

Pages added before they exist are marked as planned and drawn with a dashed border in the visualization. Give them relationships to existing content now, and use the sharing features to get stakeholder approval on the plan before anything is built.

After adding planned pages, run one of LinkMap's optimization strategies on the target page to test the planned structure before building it. Each run is a one-time paid analysis per page, priced on the pricing page.
