FAQ
-
Does SILA insert links automatically?
-
No. SILA only generates suggestions. Every link must be reviewed and inserted manually.
-

No. SILA never changes your content without your action. Links are only inserted when you click Insert Link.
-
Which content types are supported?

Posts, pages, and WooCommerce products.
-
Does SILA support Elementor?
-
SILA may generate suggestions for Elementor-built pages. However, automatic link insertion into an Elementor-built source page is not currently supported. SILA displays a warning, and the link must be added manually in Elementor.
-
Can I remove inserted links?
-
Yes. Any link inserted by SILA can be removed from the Inserted Links section.
-
Why do I sometimes see “No natural anchor text was found”?
-
This means SILA found a relevant target page but couldn’t safely identify suitable anchor text inside the source content. You can edit the content manually or choose another suggestion.
