What the Link Suggestions tool does

Internal linking is a high-leverage SEO move — but knowing where to link is hard, especially on large sites. The AI matches your content to relevant pages on your sitemap and suggests where each link belongs.

Paste content, paste sitemap URLs, get 5-10 contextually relevant link suggestions with descriptive anchor text. Apply selectively in your CMS.

How to get suggestions

Five steps from content to actionable list.

1

Paste your content

The full body of the post or page you are writing.

2

Paste sitemap URLs

List of pages on your site, or paste your sitemap.xml URL.

3

Optionally exclude URLs

Paste URLs you do not want suggested as link targets.

4

Click Get Suggestions

The AI matches content topics to relevant sitemap pages.

5

Apply selectively

Pick 3-5 that fit naturally. Add via your CMS.

When SEO teams use it

Six common workflows.

Pre-publish content optimization

After drafting a post, run it through the tool to find internal linking opportunities you missed.

Content refresh sprint

Audit older posts. Add internal links to newer related content to keep them fresh.

Topic cluster building

When publishing a new pillar post, find subtopic posts to link to and build the cluster.

New writer onboarding

Help new writers add internal links by giving AI-suggested options instead of expecting them to know the site.

Reducing orphan pages

For each orphan page, find content where it would fit as an internal link.

SEO audit deliverable

Add suggested links to client deliverables; provide concrete actions to follow.

Common errors and how to fix them

Eight issues users hit when getting AI link suggestions.

Suggestions are too generic

Cause: Content was generic; AI returned generic matches.

Fix: Re-input with more specific content.

No suggestions returned

Cause: Sitemap URLs were too few or unrelated to content topic.

Fix: Add more sitemap URLs spanning different topics.

Suggestions point to irrelevant pages

Cause: Sitemap had pages with misleading URLs.

Fix: Verify your sitemap is accurate; remove orphan or test pages.

Anchor text suggestions repeat

Cause: Multiple suggestions to the same target.

Fix: Pick one; vary the anchor on subsequent links to the same target.

Tool times out on large content

Cause: Content over 5,000 words.

Fix: Split content into sections; run each separately.

Sitemap parse fails

Cause: Sitemap URL is wrong or sitemap.xml is malformed.

Fix: Verify sitemap.xml is reachable and parses with Search Console.

Excluded URLs still appear

Cause: Excluded URL list had typos or wrong format.

Fix: Use exact full URLs in the exclude list, one per line.

Suggested anchors are too long

Cause: AI tried to be very descriptive.

Fix: Trim to 3-5 word anchors when adding to content.
