Internal linking for WordPress that works automatically

Similar AI connects to your WordPress site through a lightweight plugin. Add intelligent internal links to any page with a single Gutenberg block. No code changes, no theme modifications.

WordPress makes publishing easy; internal linking, not so much

You've built hundreds of pages on WordPress. But connecting them with relevant internal links? That's still a manual process that never gets done properly.

Disconnected pages icon

Pages exist in isolation

Every new blog post or category page you publish starts with zero internal links. Unless someone manually adds them, they'll never get the link equity they need to rank.

Manual linking burden icon

Manual linking doesn't scale

Adding internal links by hand takes time your content team doesn't have. And even if you do it, the links become outdated the moment you publish something new.

Lost organic traffic icon

Search engines can't find your best content

Without internal links, Google struggles to discover and understand your site structure. Important pages get buried while less relevant ones compete for the same traffic.

A WordPress plugin that adds links intelligently

The Similar AI plugin integrates directly with the WordPress Gutenberg editor. Add a block, and it automatically populates with relevant internal links based on your site's content and search behavior.

1

Install the plugin

Upload the Similar AI plugin through WordPress admin and activate it. No code changes required, no theme modifications: just a standard plugin installation that works with any WordPress setup.

2

Add the linking block to your pages

In the Gutenberg editor, add the Similar AI Internal Linking block wherever you want related links to appear. Configure it once, and it works across your entire site.

3

Links appear automatically

The block connects to Similar AI's linking engine and retrieves the most relevant pages to link to based on the current page's content, your site structure, and actual search behavior.

4

Links update as your site grows

Every time someone views the page, the links reflect the current state of your site. Publish new content, and it gets included automatically. No manual updates needed.

Internal linking that adapts to your content

The WordPress integration gives you intelligent linking powered by Similar AI's research engine, without changing how you build pages.

Links are chosen based on semantic relevance, not just keyword matching. The system understands what your page is about and finds the most useful pages to connect to.

Search behavior informs link selection icon

Search behavior informs link selection

Links prioritize pages that people are actually searching for. The engine uses search data to surface high-value pages that deserve more internal links.

Works with any WordPress theme icon

Better internal linking helps search engines discover your content faster and understand which pages matter most. More links to important pages means better rankings for those pages.

Same linking intelligence, native WordPress experience

The WordPress plugin is powered by Similar AI's internal linking engine. It uses the same algorithms that power our enterprise platform, analysing content, understanding search behavior, and selecting the most valuable pages to link to.

The difference is in how links are delivered. Instead of modifying your templates or requiring development work, links appear through a standard WordPress block. You control where they show up; we determine which pages to connect.

Frequently asked questions

Does the plugin work with any WordPress theme?

Yes. The plugin uses standard Gutenberg blocks that work with any theme. Links inherit your site's existing styles, so they look and feel native to your design. There's no custom CSS or theme modifications required.

What WordPress editors does it support?

The plugin is designed for the Gutenberg block editor. If you use the classic editor or Elementor, we have alternative integration methods using JavaScript that achieve the same result.

How does it decide which pages to link to?

The linking engine analyzes the content of the current page and finds the most relevant pages on your site to connect to. It considers semantic relevance, search behavior data, and your site's structure to select links that will actually help users and search engines.

Will it slow down my WordPress site?

No. The plugin makes a single API call when the page loads. Link recommendations are delivered quickly, and the block itself is lightweight. Most sites see no perceptible impact on page load times.

Can I control where the links appear on my pages?

Yes. You place the Internal Linking block wherever you want links to show up in your content. Common positions include at the end of articles, in sidebars, or in footer sections. The block is flexible: you decide the placement.

Do I need to update links manually when I publish new content?

No. Links are generated dynamically based on the current state of your site. When you publish new pages, they become eligible for linking automatically. Existing pages will start linking to new relevant content without any manual intervention.
