How to Identify Orphaned Pages in Bulk and Generate Content to Link to Them

Orphaned pages — those with no internal links pointing to them — are invisible to users and search engines. They waste SEO potential and hurt crawl efficiency. With Summrly, you can identify orphaned pages in bulk and generate content that links to them. Just enter your site structure or topic list, and AI will detect unlinked pages, then create new content or update existing posts with contextual links — bringing lost pages back into your content ecosystem.

Why a Content-First Website Solves This

Most sites accumulate orphaned pages over time — old posts, forgotten guides, or mislinked resources. Summrly starts with your content and uses AI to map your internal link graph. It identifies pages with zero or few internal links, then suggests or generates new content that naturally references them. This restores visibility, improves indexing, and strengthens topical authority — turning hidden pages into SEO assets.

Step-by-Step Guide

Create Your First Topic – Enter your main category or upload your sitemap to begin analysis.
Set Up Your Content Focus – Choose “orphan rescue” mode to prioritize reconnection.
Add Keywords – Include terms related to your orphaned content to help AI find matches.
Brand Details – Add your existing content library for cross-linking suggestions.
Complete Setup – Publish AI-generated content or updates that link to orphaned pages.

Enter your topic below to find and rescue your orphaned pages — and make every page work for your SEO.

They used Summrly to analyze their site and generate 15 new blog posts that naturally referenced the orphaned pages. AI added links like “For detailed setup steps, see our integration guide.” Within 6 weeks, all 37 pages were indexed, and traffic to them increased by 5X.
