What this tool does

Anchor text variation matters as much as anchor text descriptiveness. Repeating "best CRM" 30 times across internal links is over-optimization that triggers Google\'s spam detection.

Generate 5-10 varied anchor options for any target. Pick the one that fits each context naturally; rotate across multiple links to the same target.
