Internal Linking Map

Which pages link to which. Built in Phase 03, referenced in Phase 04 as copy is written, and updated in Phase 08 every time a new page is published.

Built in: Phase 03 Used in: Phase 04 (links added inline as copy is written) · Phase 08 (updated with every new page)
How to fill this in

Map which pages should link to which. The rule: every product page links to 2–3 related products, every blog post links back to its most relevant product page, and the category page links to all products. Internal links are added directly in the WordPress editor — no plugins needed. Update this map every time a new page is published in Phase 08.
