Automatic internal linking
Internal links to pages that actually exist.
In every article Citapult writes, the agent picks internal links only from your page list, in the article’s language, and checks each one against that list.
- internal links per article, adjustable from 0 to 5
- 3 to 5
- links into another language
- 0
- possible places: tool link up top, body text, call to action
- 3
- priority pages with the Link targeting add-on
- 10
Your sitemap sets the page list.
Citapult reads your sitemap and assigns every page a language, from hreflang or the first path segment like /de/. An English article only gets English pages to choose from. If it links a URL that isn’t on that list, it fails the check.
- Sitemap indexes and robots.txt are read too
- The agent replaces or drops guessed URLs
- Tracking parameters are stripped from every link
- “Rescan” reads the sitemap again, say after you add pages
Links that sit inside a sentence.
Every link sits in a sentence, with anchor text that says what’s behind it. Never “click here”. When readers are looking for a tool and you have one, like a calculator, the article links it right after the TL;DR, with a clear call to action.
- Descriptive anchors instead of “here” or “read more”
- The tool link comes before the first subheading
- The call to action and the tool link count as internal links
- You set the number per article yourself, 0 turns them off
You decide which pages matter.
With the Link targeting add-on you give up to 10 pages priority. Articles link them first where they fit the topic, without adding more links. For each page you set up to five anchor texts, and the article uses one of them word for word.
- Pages outside your sitemap can be added to the list by hand
- Anchor texts of up to 65 characters, written for mid-sentence
- If no priority page fits the topic, none is forced in
Common questions
How many internal links does an article get?
3 to 5 by default. Set it to 4 in the article settings, for example, and the agent places 4 or 5. The call to action and the link to your tool count too. At 0, the article gets no internal links.
Do my new articles link to each other?
Yes, once they’re in your sitemap. Citapult reads the sitemap during setup, when you add a language and when you click “Rescan”.
My site has several languages. What happens?
Every page gets its language from hreflang or the first path segment like /de/. Pages with neither count as pages in your homepage’s language. Articles only link pages in their own language.
What about links to other sites?
The agent uses those for sources: every figure links to the page it came from. Links to your competitors, and to sites that rank with their own tool for the same keyword, are blocked.
