rootlinkd

rootlinkd automatically turns exact keywords and phrases into internal links across your WordPress content.

Set one keyword or phrase and one internal destination URL. When that exact text appears in eligible rendered content, rootlinkd creates the internal link automatically. Your posts are never rewritten: links are added as each page is displayed, so changing or deleting a rule updates every page at once.

Free includes:

• Unlimited internal-link rules
• One exact keyword or phrase and one internal destination URL per rule
• Whole-word, case-insensitive matching
• Every eligible exact match is linked, including headings (H1-H6) and the main singular post/page title
• Links inherit the active WordPress theme’s normal link appearance
• Existing links and technical markup are protected from nested or corrupt links
• Works with Gutenberg, Elementor and the Classic Editor

Pro adds placement and volume control: a maximum number of links per page, linking each keyword once per page, skipping headings and titles, skipping the first paragraphs, excluding the current page, and turning auto-links off on individual posts or pages. It also adds external links, trusted domains (your own other sites treated as internal), one keyword variation per rule and five link styles.

Business adds affiliate links with rel="nofollow sponsored", automatic affiliate tag appending, click counts and analytics, a link randomizer, CSV import and export, up to five keyword variations per rule and three more link styles.

Developer adds unlimited keyword variations and destination URL autocomplete.

rootlinkd was previously named DAWN Auto Links.
