Reinforce the hub
Show the asset relationship to its cluster home or primary parent.
Internal route planning
Plan internal links inside the brief, not after the draft.
MIRENA treats internal links as page relationships and user routes. The brief names the hub, siblings, authority support, next step destination, anchor logic, placement, and exclusions before the writer reaches the final paragraph.

Four link roles
MIRENA plans the reason for each link before choosing the anchor.
Deepen a related concept
Connect to another asset when the current sentence naturally opens that topic.
Support the explanation
Link to a method, evidence, definition, process, entity, or proof source that strengthens understanding.
Move the reader forward
Route into the next task, decision, support path, product action, or production stage.
Internal link brief packet
The writer receives destinations, reasons, placement guidance, and exclusions.
Source assetTarget URL, page role, primary entity, dominant intent, and current cluster.
Required hub routeParent URL, relationship, likely sentence context, anchor guidance, and placement.
Sibling routesRelevant sibling URLs, concepts that trigger each link, and links that would create confusion.
Authority routesDefinitions, evidence, methods, product details, or process assets that deepen the current claim.
Next step routeThe task, proof, support, or action the reader should reach after the current asset does its job.
Anchor governancePreferred descriptive wording, exact phrasing limits, sentence proximity, placement notes, and excluded anchors.
Six stage link planning workflow
Plan meaning bridges before the draft is finished.
Confirm the page role
Identify whether the asset is a hub, spoke, bridge, authority support, conversion support, or utility asset.
Choose the required hub link
Name the parent relationship the asset must reinforce.
Choose sibling routes
Select related assets that deepen concepts already present rather than convenient destinations.
Choose authority support
Add links to assets that explain evidence, methods, entities, processes, or definitions in more depth.
Choose the next step
Route the reader into the next useful task, proof path, support path, or action.
Write anchor and placement guidance
Describe the sentence meaning, preferred anchor style, approximate placement, and links to avoid.
Anchor guidance
The anchor should clarify the destination before the click.
- Match the sentence meaning
- Stay close to the concept being expanded
- Describe the destination role clearly
- Support the reader journey
- Sound natural in the paragraph
- Force an unrelated keyword into the sentence
- Hide the destination behind vague wording
- Repeat the same exact phrase everywhere
- Send the reader into a weaker or duplicate asset
- Exist only to increase a link count
Questions
Internal link briefing questions.
What is an internal link brief?
It is the part of a content brief that names the assets a page should support, why the relationships matter, where the links belong, and how anchors should read in context.
What inputs does MIRENA need?
Provide a sitemap, content index, page inventory, processed map, or approved target asset set with page roles and current URLs.
How many internal links should a brief require?
The count should follow the page job and useful relationships. MIRENA prioritizes required parent, sibling, authority, and next step routes rather than a fixed quota.
Should exact match anchors be required?
Use exact phrasing selectively. The brief should prioritize clear contextual anchors that match the sentence meaning and destination role.
Can the link plan change during drafting?
Yes, when the new sentence structure changes placement or exposes a better meaning bridge. The destination and page relationship should remain justified.
Does internal linking guarantee performance?
No. Internal routes can improve clarity, navigation, and site structure, but search outcomes still depend on the wider implementation and competitive environment.

Give MIRENA the asset set and page role. Receive a link ready brief.
MIRENA maps the required parent, sibling, authority, and next step relationships, then adds anchor and placement guidance to the content brief.
