Link only to pages that exist
Generated articles pick their internal links from your site's last audit crawl. You set the count from 1 to 6, and that count is enforced after generation.
Told to add internal links, an AI writer will invent relative paths, and every invented path ships a 404 in your name.
The other failure is stuffing: six links wedged into a short post because a template asked for six.
- 1-6internal links per article, and the count is yours to set
- 3links by default, which suits most article lengths
- 200pages in the crawl that builds the pool of real targets
Targets come from the crawl, not the model
With a website selected and a completed audit, the writer picks targets from URLs the crawl found on your site. A fresh audit refreshes the pool after a restructure.
Help centre: Internal links
A slider sets the count, 1 to 6
Three is the default and suits most articles. Go higher on pillar pages that genuinely reference many of your URLs, lower on short posts where six would read as stuffing.
The limit is enforced outside the model
After generation the article is trimmed to your selected count as a hard rule, so the number you set is the number you get.
Fewer links when targets do not fit
The writer links only where a target fits the sentence, so a niche article on a small site may carry fewer than the slider allows. The summary reports the count used.
Paste your own targets before the first crawl
Without a website selected, a manual textarea takes the URLs you want considered, one per line, and the writer picks from those.
The audit names your orphan pages
The audit's links category finds orphan pages nothing points to, broken links, and how link equity flows, so you know which pages need links before you generate.
How it works
The sequence, start to finish. Read it in order: each step assumes the one above it has already run.
Audit the site once
The crawl builds the pool of real URLs the writer can link to, and its links category shows where you stand.
Set the slider
Pick your website in Generate, set internal links anywhere from 1 to 6, and generate.
Check the summary
The summary under the draft counts the internal links used, so you confirm the slider was honored without hunting through the text.
The other ways people do this
What each approach does, and what happens here instead. Mechanism only, never an outcome claim.
| Approach | How it works | Here |
|---|---|---|
| Linking by hand | How it worksYou hold the site's URL list in your head and add links while editing, which works until the site outgrows one person's memory. | HereTargets come from the URLs your last audit crawl actually found, so the pool is the site as it stands rather than as anyone remembers it. |
| An AI writer told to add links | How it worksAsked for six internal links it produces six, inventing relative paths once the real ones run out. | HereThe writer picks only from crawled URLs, and the count is trimmed after generation as a hard rule outside the model. |
| A linking plugin in your CMS | How it worksIt suggests links inside the editor from the posts on that install, for the platform it was built for. | HereThe pool comes from a crawl of the live site on any stack, and manual mode takes URLs you paste one per line. |
| A link-audit crawler | How it worksIt reports where links are missing and which pages are orphaned, then leaves the writing of those links to you. | HereThe audit's links category names the orphans and broken links, and the writer places links from that same crawl. |

Questions people ask
The ones that decide whether this fits, answered with the verdict first.
- Can the writer link to a page that doesn't exist?
- No, not with a completed audit selected. Targets come from URLs the crawl found, so the one exposure is manual mode with an empty textarea.
- How many internal links should I set?
- Three, the default, for most articles. Long pillar pieces can carry more, and short posts read better with fewer.
- Why did I get fewer links than the slider asked for?
- The count is a maximum. The writer links only where a target is relevant, and a niche article on a small site can exhaust its good targets early.
- Why do links point at pages I removed?
- The pool reflects the last crawl. After a restructure it stays stale until a fresh crawl replaces it, so re-run the audit and generate again.
- Does it edit the pages already on my site?
- No. Links are placed inside the article the generator produces, before you publish it. Nothing is written into pages that already exist.
- What does this add to the cost of an article?
- Nothing. Targets come from the audit crawl you already ran, and linking is part of generation, which is one credit for a standard draft.
- Do I need a developer to set it up?
- No. Run an audit once so the pool exists, pick the website in Generate, then set the slider. With no crawl yet, paste target URLs into the manual textarea.
