🧠 How Google Ranks SEOPulse — Step by Step
🕷️
Googlebot follows every link to discover pages
Google starts at known URLs and follows every link it finds. Internal links tell Google the depth of your site. If your blog post about keyword research has no link to /tool/keyword-research, Googlebot finishes the blog post and moves on — never reinforcing the connection between the two pages.
SEOPulse Reality: Multiple blog posts, few internal links to tool pages. Google crawls the blog content and gains little signal that SEOPulse offers the specific tools users are searching for.
