Scope
Added internal linking to and from 52 Rank Math orphan pages on aguiarinjurylawyers.com without changing titles, meta descriptions, or keywords.
What Changed
- Built and ran a reusable WordPress API updater at
C:\Users\SAguiar\Documents\Projects\scripts\apply_rankmath_orphan_links.py.
- Added a tagged related-links block to each orphan page, grouped by section: practice areas, locations, resources, about/team, PPC, and utility/legal pages.
- Stored pre-update backups and the execution summary in
C:\Users\SAguiar\Documents\Codex\web-content-orphan-linking-2026-04-24.
Verification
- Publish pass completed for 52 pages.
- Follow-up verification confirmed
52 of 52 pages contain the Codex marker block and all expected target URLs.
- No title, meta, or keyword fields were edited.
Outputs
- Summary:
C:\Users\SAguiar\Documents\Codex\web-content-orphan-linking-2026-04-24\summary.md
- JSON report:
C:\Users\SAguiar\Documents\Codex\web-content-orphan-linking-2026-04-24\summary.json
- Backups:
C:\Users\SAguiar\Documents\Codex\web-content-orphan-linking-2026-04-24\backups
Recommended Follow-up
- Refresh Rank Math orphan counts after the site recrawls and cache clears.
- If any pages still show as orphaned, add one or two links from stronger non-orphan hub pages rather than increasing cross-links inside the orphan set.
- Consider moving this updater into a remote-ready website maintenance workflow so it can run and verify from a shared cloud environment.
