I’ve been improving site structure and adding more internal links. Curious if anyone’s seen a ranking boost after optimizing internal linking?
Do internal links help with ranking faster?

Internal links help with distributing link juice across the site, it also helps in making sure inner pages benefit from the authority of the domain. They also help in ensuring Google crawlers are able to discover new pages and how they're related to existing ones.
Whether it'll help you rank faster or not depends on your site's overall SEO optimization as well as the keywords you're going after.
But they're crucial, always link your pages to each other. Let there be no orphan pages on your site else you'd be wasting authority.
