link manager

Link Manager matters only if the evidence supports a paid workflow around protecting search visibility and structured data quality, not a list of isolated fixes. The current commercial thesis is: SEO and schema issues can quietly damage search performance until reports expose the loss. The entry wedge is to monitor sitemap, schema, metadata, and indexing risks in language clients can act on.
