A useful page can be technically indexable yet difficult to reach from the site’s content. Measure the shortest meaningful route from a relevant hub, then decide whether the page deserves a stronger route.
Work through the decision
Use a small, dated sample before applying the method across a whole site or team. Record the exact input and intended outcome so another reviewer can reproduce the decision. The example below illustrates the method; it is not a claimed Megvi client result.
| Step | Practical check |
|---|---|
| Choose important URLs | Start with service pages and guides that support a clear buyer task. |
| Trace routes | Map navigation, category, hub and article links to each target. Note the shortest path and the quality of the anchor. |
| Check context | A two-click generic archive route may be less useful than a three-click path through a relevant guide. |
| Add one useful route | Link from the page where a visitor would ask the target question, then recheck the path. |
Worked example
Illustrative graph: the CRM portal guide is reachable only through Blog → Archives → Older Posts → Article. A CRM requirements guide already discusses customer document access, so a contextual link there creates a useful route. The goal is not an arbitrary click-depth number; it is a clear journey from the reader’s task.
When this approach can fail
Do not flatten every guide onto a service hub. Large link lists can bury the few guides that support a buying decision.
Verification checklist
Record source, anchor, target and path before and after. Have someone unfamiliar with the site find the guide from the CRM hub or an adjacent article.
Next step
For orientation within a resource section, inspect Auditing Breadcrumbs on Blog and Resource Pages. To apply this to a live business, review Megvi’s SEO services and bring the current page, report or workflow plus the result you want to verify.
