Internal linking for WordPress that places itself.

In shortHack The SEO analyzes your content, suggests internal links with anchor text and insertion paragraph, then places them in the real content in 1 click, no matter the builder: Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg. Every link stays reversible for 30 days.

Other plugins list linking suggestions and stop there. Hack The SEO places the links inside the actual content, no matter your builder, and keeps every action reversible for 30 days. Internal linking stops being the task you keep putting off.

The real problem

Everyone knows internal linking matters. No one does it.

Linking content by hand takes hours: finding the right page, choosing a natural anchor text, opening the editor, inserting the link in the right spot. The result on most sites: orphan pages, authority that never flows, and internal linking that never really moves forward.

By hand / other plugins
  • Link suggestions you copy in yourself, one by one
  • No idea which anchor text or which paragraph to insert the link into
  • Orphan pages never detected, never linked
  • A link placed wrong? Back to the editor to remove it by hand
With Hack The SEO
  • Anchor text and insertion paragraph suggested automatically, through semantic analysis
  • The link is placed inside the actual content in 1 click, no matter the builder
  • Orphan pages are detected and linked as a priority
  • Every link placed stays reversible, alone or in bulk, for 30 days
How it works

From content to a placed link, no copy-paste.

Internal linking is part of the Hack The SEO WordPress SEO plugin: it analyzes your existing content and suggests where and how to link it.

The engine analyzes your content

Every post and page is compared semantically against the rest of your site's content to find relevant links, not just shared keywords but shared meaning.

You get a complete suggestion

Natural anchor text, precise target paragraph, destination page: the suggestion arrives ready to approve, with the real context of the surrounding content.

The link is placed in the content, in 1 click

Not an export, not a list to copy: the link is inserted directly into the body of the text, in Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, or Bricks. And it stays reversible for 30 days.

Semantic analysis

Suggestions that understand your content.

The engine doesn't look for identical words: it compares the meaning of your content, not just the words, to suggest links that actually have a reason to exist.

Semantic analysis of content

Every piece of content is represented by its meaning, not its keywords. Two pages on the same topic that share no vocabulary still get matched.

Natural anchor text suggested

The suggested anchor text fits into the existing sentence, with no forced keyword and no "click here" that breaks the reading flow.

Insertion paragraph identified

The engine points to the exact spot in the text where the link makes sense, with the real context around it, so you can approve it with full knowledge.

This semantic analysis is the same engine that builds the WordPress semantic cocoon: internal linking is its natural extension, page by page.

The plugin that does it

Placed in the real content, not in a widget.

A link tucked into a "related posts" box at the bottom of the page carries almost no SEO weight. Hack The SEO inserts the link where Google actually gives it weight: inside the body of the text.

  • The link is inserted into the body of the text, where Google gives it weight, not in a side block
  • Compatible with Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, and Bricks, with no extra setup
  • No theme changes needed: the plugin works directly on your existing content

Anti-over-optimization

A link budget against over-optimization.

Placing links automatically, sure, but not by turning your posts into link spaghetti. The engine respects a budget tailored to each page.

  • The number of links suggested adapts to the length and role of the content, no fixed number for every page
  • Anchor text varies from one suggestion to the next, to avoid repeating the exact same link text
  • Orphan pages (never linked by anyone) are detected and pushed up as a priority to link

Poorly distributed linking also makes keyword cannibalization worse: the link budget avoids artificially pushing two pages toward the same query.

Everything internal linking does

Suggest, place, protect, prove: complete internal linking.

Anchor text + paragraph suggestions

Every suggestion arrives with its natural anchor text and the precise paragraph to insert it into, thanks to semantic content analysis.

Placed in 1 click

The link is inserted directly into the published content, with no copy-paste and no manual trip back into the editor.

Works with every builder

Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Bricks: the link is placed in the real content, no matter which editor was used to build the page.

Orphan page detection

Pages never linked from any other content are spotted and pushed up as a priority to connect.

Link budget

The number of links suggested adapts to the length and role of the page, with varied anchor text to avoid over-optimization.

30-day rollback

Every link placed can be undone, alone or in bulk, for 30 days, backed by a full action log.

Verification of placed anchors

Once the link is placed, the plugin checks that the anchor text and destination still match the published content.

E-commerce links

Products and blog posts linked together: product pages gain editorial context, blog posts gain purchase intent.

Complete audit log

Every suggestion, every placement, every rollback stays logged, useful for understanding and for proving what was done.

What no one else doesCompeting plugins stop at the suggestion. Hack The SEO places links in 1 click inside the content and keeps every action reversible for 30 days, which no other WordPress plugin does.
Who it's for

Internal linking, based on your type of site.

Agencies

Scale internal linking across every client site, without burning billable hours. Prove the work done with the before/after of the linking structure.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about internal linking.

What is internal linking?
Internal linking refers to the links that connect pages within the same site. It helps visitors navigate from one piece of content to another and helps search engines understand the structure and relative importance of each page.
Why does it matter so much for SEO?
An internal link passes authority from one page to another. A page well linked from the rest of the site is seen as more important; an orphan page, never linked, often stays invisible to Google and to your visitors alike.
Does it work with Elementor, Divi, Bricks?
Yes. The plugin places links directly inside the actual content of the page, no matter which builder you use: Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, or Bricks. No theme changes are needed.
How is the anchor text chosen?
The engine analyzes the meaning of your content to suggest anchor text that fits naturally into the existing sentence, along with the precise paragraph to insert it into. Anchor text varies from one suggestion to the next to avoid repetition.
Are placed links reversible?
Yes. Every link placed automatically can be undone, alone or in bulk, for 30 days. An action log keeps track of every suggestion, every placement, and every rollback.
Is there a risk of over-optimization?
The engine applies a link budget tailored to the length and role of each page, with varied anchor text. The goal isn't to maximize the number of links, but to link what makes sense without overloading the content.
How are orphan pages detected?
The plugin maps out all the internal links on the site and spots pages that receive no link from any other content. These orphan pages are pushed up as a priority in the linking suggestions to place.
How many links per page?
There's no magic number that works for every page. The link budget suggested adapts to the length of the content and its role on the site: a pillar page doesn't get the same budget as a short post.
Which plan includes internal linking?
Linking suggestions are available starting with the Pro plan (€99/month excl. VAT). Bulk placement and advanced features (fine-tuned link budget, full orphan page detection) depend on your plan tier. See the pricing page for details. And in every case: traffic up in your first month, or that month is refunded, with a free 1.5-hour onboarding session with an SEO expert.
