Internal linking is crucial for search engine optimization. It helps Google discover all pages on a site and assign value to each. The more links to a page, the more important it is.<\/p>\n

A site’s structure produces internal links. Examples include navigation, footers, \u201crelated articles,\u201d and \u201crelated products.”<\/p>\n

However, the most impactful links are “contextual” because Google looks at the surrounding context to assign relevancy signals. A link in the body of this article is contextual.<\/p>\n

Contextual links are hard to scale, especially for sites with thousands of pages, but AI technology can help. AI can spot phrase variations and synonyms to identify relevant pages.<\/p>\n

Here are three AI-powered internal linking tools.<\/p>\n
