Do you want to distribute“ link juice” (PageRank) perfectly across your content but don’t have the time? **IntelliLink Craft** is your personal, automated SEO assistant. It analyzes your content in real-time as you write and suggests highly contextual internal links that search engines (and your readers) will love. By building a strong internal link architecture, you help Google crawl your site faster, index your pages better, and drastically reduce bounce rates by keeping visitors engaged longer. **Why Choose IntelliLink Craft?** Unlike other heavy plugins, IntelliLink Craft is built for **speed and performance**. It seamlessly integrates into your workflow, completely eliminating the friction of manual internal linking. **ZERO-CONFIG SEO INTEGRATION** Already using RankMath, Yoast SEO, SEOPress, or All in One SEO? Perfect! IntelliLink automatically syncs with them to fetch your Focus Keywords. You won’t have to lift a finger to configure it. ### Third-Party Service Disclosure This plugin supports connecting to third-party artificial intelligence services to generate SEO keyword suggestions: * **OpenAI API** (https://api.openai.com) – Privacy Policy: https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy * **Google Gemini API**( https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com) – Privacy Policy: https://policies.google. com/privacy * **Anthropic Claude API** (https://api.anthropic.com) – Privacy Policy: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy Please note: 1. These integrations are completely optional. The plugin operates fully on local data and standard WordPress APIs without using these services. 2. In the free version, the plugin does not make direct external calls to these APIs; they are only accessed if the optional PRO add-on is installed, or via the native WordPress 7.0+ AI Client (`wp_ai_client_prompt`) if configured by the administrator. 3. No user or visitor data is sent to these third-party services. Only the post/ page content is sent to generate keyword recommendations when the administrator explicitly clicks the “Suggest Keywords” button in the WordPress dashboard. 4. You must have your own API keys/credentials for these services, which are stored securely in your WordPress database. #### Build a Flawless SEO Link Architecture in Minutes * **Seamless SEO Sync**: Automatically imports Focus Keywords from RankMath, Yoast SEO, SEOPress, and All in One SEO.

[[ ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/intellilink-craft-smart-internal- linking-auto-linker` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress “Add New Plugin” screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress. 3. Open a post or page and scroll down to the new **IntelliLink Craft** meta box to start optimizing! ## FAQ ### Is this core plugin really free? Yes! The core version is 100% free, highly functional, and has absolutely no limits on how many posts you can scan, or how many target keywords you can save. ### Will the Auto-Linker slow down my website rendering? No. The Frontend Auto Linker relies on an optimized processing engine causing minimal impact on your database or page load times. The text parsing is done efficiently during the page render. ### What happens if I use Elementor, Divi, or other Page Builders? The backend keyword Scanner works perfectly with any builder! However, the ‘Auto- Insert’ button in the builder safely disables itself to prevent breaking complex HTML structures. You can still use the standard “Copy HTML” button. Also, the frontend Auto Linker operates on the public frontend output, no matter what builder you use. ### How does the Category Siloing feature help my SEO? Category Siloing is an advanced SEO technique that keeps link equity (power) focused within a specific topic cluster (category). By enabling this, IntelliLink will only suggest links to other posts within that same exact category, helping Google understand your topic authority. ### Can I prevent Auto-Linking on specific pages or inside specific paragraphs? Absolutely. With the PRO version, you can globally exclude specific Pages/URLs. Furthermore, using “Excluded Zones”, you can tell the plugin to ignore text inside specific CSS classes (e.g., inside sliders, pricing tables, or custom widgets) so your layout is never compromised. ### Does it support WooCommerce or Custom Post Types? Yes! Out of the box, it supports Posts and Pages. You can easily enable scanning and linking for WooCommerce Products, Portfolios, or any other Custom Post Type from the IntelliLink settings panel. ### What is the Total Automation System? The Total Automation System (available in the PRO version) completely automates the creation of internal links. When you save a Target Keyword for a post, the plugin instantly creates a global Auto-Linking Rule for that keyword pointing to that post. Additionally, if you have an AI Provider configured, it will use WP-Cron to generate synonyms in the background silently, meaning you build your entire site’s link graph just by defining keywords. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “IntelliLink Craft – Smart Internal Linking & Auto-Linker” is open source software.
