High-traffic help articles linking to low-traffic answers
Use your busiest help articles to internally link readers into overlooked but relevant answers, with anchor text that promises the job rather than just naming the topic.
Why this can grow a startup
Most help centers already have a few pages that absorb most of the attention. Routing that attention into quieter but useful answers lets the archive teach in sequences instead of dead ends. It also improves crawl paths and gives long-tail articles a fair chance to be discovered by both readers and search engines.
Source-backed example
Intercom advises teams to link low-traffic articles from relevant high-traffic articles and to focus link text on how the linked article will help customers.

When to use it
Use this when SEO, Support, Documentation is relevant to help center, internal linking, support-led growth and you can run a bounded test with a free budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
How to do it
- Choose one target segment and define the exact next action this tactic should prompt.
- Adapt the tactic to SEO and Support, using evidence from Intercom Help as context—not as a promised result.
- Record a baseline for: Qualified search visitors who complete the intended next action. Set a guardrail that would make you pause the test.
- Run a narrow pilot and choose a test window that fits the normal decision or use cycle; do not scale before you have observed the full cycle.
- Compare the signal with its baseline. Scale only if the intended action improves without crossing the guardrail; otherwise revise one variable or stop and record what you learned.
