Internal linking tool: Internal links in the draft, on the published page, and across the whole site. No orphan pages.

No. On a draft, every weave opens a preview with the sentence, the anchor and the target, and you accept or discard it. On a published page you choose the target, see the anchor in its sentence, and press Apply to live. A model picks the phrase; the write itself is deterministic and runs only after you press the button.

Yes. For 30 days after a new page appears on your site, published through Verand or any other way, Opportunities suggests links to it from your related pages that already earn the most Search Console impressions. Each link uses a phrase in a sentence already on the source page, so nothing new is written. You see every link in its sentence, untick any you don’t want, and only the ones you approve are added. If the page you want a link from isn’t suggested, Link from another page lets you pick it, and Verand finds a sentence on it for the link. Verand then watches the page until Google indexes it.

Three. That is the floor the linking SOP sets and the check enforces. Only cross-page links on your own site count: a table-of-contents jump link goes nowhere new, and a link back to the article’s own URL is a dead click, so neither counts. Falling short is a warning that surfaces in the Checklist, not a block on publishing. On a live page, the free internal link checker lists every link and which of them answer with an error.

A deterministic pass after the weave. Any anchor inside the first paragraph is unwrapped, as is any anchor pointing at the article’s own slug. Unwrapping leaves the prose untouched, so the sentence reads exactly as it did. The prompt asks for both rules as well; this is the half that guarantees them.

The strip pass removes any cross-page internal link whose path is not a real page in your crawled content, keeping the text of the sentence. External links and same-page anchors are left alone. If nothing has been crawled yet Verand cannot tell invented from real, so it skips the strip rather than guessing, and the validation suite still runs.

No, and there is no separate routine to enable. It runs inside every deep full-site crawl, which every plan gets. The standalone interlinking routine was retired precisely because it re-read data the crawl had just produced; the analysis moved into the crawl and kept running for everybody.

PageRank over your own internal links, from the crawl’s link graph, normalised 0 to 100 on a log scale. Log rather than linear because link equity is a power law: scaled to the maximum, every article collapses to about 1 and you cannot compare two of them. It measures your internal linking only, not backlinks, which is the separate Domain Authority figure.
