Kill every orphan in one crawl session
Client had 1,400 product pages, 300 getting zero internal links. Here's the exact hunt:
— Crawl the site in Screaming Frog, API-connect it to GA4 + Search Console
— Run Crawl Analysis at the end (most people skip this — orphan data won't populate without it)
— Open the Orphan URLs report under Reports menu
— Cross-check against your XML sitemap and log files so you don't kill live earners
— For each survivor: link it from the parent category, not the homepage
Shipped 280 fresh internal links in an afternoon. Twelve pages indexed within the week.
Watch your filter: GA4-only orphans are sometimes parameter junk, not real pages. Eyeball before you act.
