Example output

Internal Link Building Plan
Site: yoursite.com
Pages Analyzed: 47 pages, 89 posts
Existing Internal Links: 124
Orphaned Content: 12 pages (0-1 inbound links)

HIGH PRIORITY (orphaned pages & pillar connections)

1. "WordPress Security Guide" → "How to Choose a Hosting Provider"
   Why: Security guide discusses server-level protection but doesn't
        link to your hosting guide which covers secure hosting setup
   Anchor: "choosing a secure hosting provider"
   Place: Under H2 "Server-Level Protection", paragraph 2

2. "Getting Started with WooCommerce" → "Payment Gateway Comparison"
   Why: Getting started guide mentions payment setup but has no link
        to your detailed gateway comparison (currently orphaned)
   Anchor: "compare payment gateway options"
   Place: Under H2 "Setting Up Payments", bullet list

New links recommended: 34
High: 8 | Medium: 16 | Low: 10
