Recto — Internal Linking & Orphan Pages

Orphan pages rank poorly. They have no incoming internal links, so search engines don’t know they matter — even when the content is great.

Recto finds every orphan page on your site, surfaces the best linking opportunities across your existing posts, and lets you approve and insert the links with a single click. No manual searching. No copy-pasting anchor text. No editing posts one by one.

How it works:

1. Connect your WordPress site to Recto (this plugin handles the handshake)
2. Recto crawls your site and maps every internal link
3. AI analyses your content and suggests the highest-impact links to add — with the exact phrase to use as anchor text
4. You review and approve suggestions in the Recto dashboard
5. Approved links are inserted into your posts automatically via the WordPress REST API

What you get:

• Full orphan page audit — every page with zero incoming links, sorted by impact
• AI-generated anchor text — contextually accurate, reads naturally in the source post
• One-click push — Recto writes the link directly into the post, you never touch the editor
• Google Search Console integration — rank data drives prioritisation so you fix the highest-value orphans first
• Audit log — every pushed link is logged with the source post, target page, and anchor phrase

This plugin is the connector. The crawl, AI analysis, and dashboard all live at rectoapp.com. A free 14-day trial (1 site) is included; full access is a one-time payment per site.

External Service

This plugin connects your WordPress site to the Recto service (rectoapp.com) to provide link analysis and insertion features.

What data is transmitted:
– Your site URL (to identify the site)
– WordPress Application Password credentials (stored encrypted, used to insert links via the REST API)
– Post titles, slugs, and content (crawled to identify linking opportunities)
– Google Search Console data (if you choose to connect it)
