Goal pages

Point your articles toward the pages that matter most, such as pricing, contact, or signup pages.

Goal pages are the pages you would like your articles to funnel readers toward: a pricing page, a contact page, a signup form, or the key category pages of a webshop. When RankYak writes an article, it keeps your goal pages in mind and links to them with a contextual call to action wherever one genuinely fits the content. This page explains how goal pages are used and how to manage them.

How articles use goal pages

Every article is written with your goal pages as context. When the topic touches on what one of them offers, the writer inserts a call to action at a natural moment in the text and links the reader through. The links are contextual rather than mechanical, so not every article links to every goal page; a page is only referenced where it answers the reader's next step.

Beyond guiding readers, goal pages concentrate internal links on the pages that matter most to your business, which helps search engines understand their importance.

Adding a goal page

  1. Go to Settings, then Articles.
  2. Scroll to the Goal pages section and click Add page.
  3. Enter the full URL of the page.
  4. Describe what a visitor may do on that page.
  5. Click Add page.

If you are adding several pages at once, enable Add more pages at the bottom of the dialog and it stays open after each save. New goal pages are used automatically in every article generated after they are added.

Writing a useful description

The description tells the writer what the page offers and when linking to it makes sense, so a specific description produces more natural calls to action. "Get a free demo by booking a call with us" gives the writer something concrete to work with, while "our contact page" does not.

Editing and removing goal pages

Each goal page in the list has a menu with Edit and Delete actions. Editing lets you correct the URL or sharpen the description at any time. Deleting a goal page stops future articles from linking to it; links already placed in existing articles remain untouched.

Of course, you may also manage goal pages by asking the copilot, which can add, update, and remove them for you.
