About AP Internal Linking Helper
From the official readme · v0.1.0Description
AP Internal Linking Helper adds a focused, distraction-free sidebar to the block editor that suggests internal links while you write.
It’s built for writers, bloggers, and small site owners who want better internal link coverage without running a full SEO suite or dealing with complicated setup. The plugin scans your existing posts and pages, then surfaces suggestions you can copy or open directly from the editor.
It’s an editor-only helper – it doesn’t change your theme or front end. There’s no configuration screen, no settings to tune, and nothing for clients to break. Activate it and start getting link ideas on your next post.
Key points:
- Editor-only helper – it doesn’t change your theme or front end.
- No configuration required for basic use.
- Works alongside your existing SEO plugin or workflow.
Need more control?
If you outgrow the free version, AP Link Helper Pro adds:
- One-click insertion into selected text.
- More suggestions per post for content-heavy sites.
- Rules and exclusions to filter what appears.
- Optional AI-assisted anchor ideas, generated from your own content.
