Internal links help search engines understand topic relationships and help visitors discover related content. This module makes those links easier to add consistently during the writing process.

User Cases

Editorial teams improving older content discovery

Before: Writers publish new articles but forget to link to older relevant posts.

After: Link Suggestions surfaces contextual ideas during editing, so internal linking becomes part of the normal publishing workflow.

Agencies onboarding large blogs

After: The suggestion index gives the team a faster starting point and reduces manual searching through the archive.

FAQ

Do I need to reindex after every post update?

No. The module updates automatically when content is saved. Full reindexing is mainly for first-time setup or major scope changes.

Why is the editor panel empty?

Check that the module is enabled, the current post type is included in scope, and the content index has had time to build.

Can I insert a suggestion directly from the editor?

Yes. The editor panel includes an Insert action for each suggestion.
