2. Run the Scan. The app maps your internal link structure into a visual representation of the flow.
3. Review the Visualization. Hover over nodes to see equity distribution across pages.
4. Identify Leaks. Check flagged links that divert equity to low-priority pages.
5. Apply Recommendations. Follow AI-driven fixes for redirects, restructured placement, or removal.

How to Use Your Analysis

• Reallocate Authority. Remove or restructure links pointing to low-value pages (e.g., policies, outdated posts).
