The AI-powered internal linking plugin for WordPress. Build internal links faster, find linking opportunities, and improve SEO automatically.

== Description ==

Link Whisper is an AI-powered internal linking plugin for WordPress trusted by 50,000+ site owners, including sites featured by Matthew Woodward, Authority Hacker, and Diggity Marketing. It helps you find internal linking opportunities, build links faster, and improve SEO without manual work.

Stop building internal links manually. Link Whisper's AI analyzes your content and whispers exactly which pages should link to each other — right inside your WordPress editor. Accept the suggestion. Done. Your site's link structure improves in minutes, not months.

It also finds orphan pages (posts with zero internal links) so nothing on your site gets left behind.

## SMALL SUGGESTIONS, BIG RESULTS
Link Whisper’s advanced AI now “whispers” smart, contextual internal link suggestions in real time, helping you create a seamless journey for your readers without the manual work.

Users created over 10 million links in the past 30 days alone and report saving around 12 hours per week on internal linking tasks. By using semantic analysis to build a powerful site structure, Link Whisper makes it easier for Google to crawl, understand, and rank your content for maximum visibility.

Google, Moz, Search Engine Land, and even Bing knows that internal links are important. LinkWhisper helps you take what was once a time-intensive chore (that gets even bigger as your site grows) and turns it into an opportunity for you to have a better-optimized site than your competitors.

## HOW LINK WHISPER'S AI WORKS

Link Whisper doesn't just match keywords. Its AI reads your content like a human editor — understanding context, topic relationships, and semantic relevance — to surface the linking suggestions a senior SEO would make manually. LinkWhisper's AI-powered analysis runs natively without requiring any separate API keys.

The result: higher-quality suggestions with less noise, especially on larger sites where keyword-only matching creates too many irrelevant results.

Just copy the link suggestion and then paste where suggested. Internal links done.

**Don't want to have to copy and paste links or worry about creating anchor text? ** [Try the Premium version of Link Whisper](https://www.linkwhisper.com) to get a much more hands-off experience.

## INTERNAL LINKS REPORTING
Ever wondered if you have any “orphan” content out there that doesn’t have a single internal link built to it?

With LinkWhisper you can quickly see which pages have very few or no internal links pointing to them.

In addition to the number of links pointing to a given post, the reports page also shows how many outbound internal links and external links are coming from each article.

Want much more in-depth reporting?  In Link Whisper Premium you get full internal link error reporting; including broken links, 404 errors, and much more.  Plus you have the ability to quickly fix or remove those broken links right from within Link Whisper.

[Check out Link Whisper Premium right here.](https://www.linkwhisper.com)

## CUSTOMIZE INTERNAL LINKS SUGGESTIONS AND SETTINGS
If you want to fine-tune the link suggestions for your site, you have that capability.

Within the settings, you can ask link whisper to ignore certain words or phrases in order to get the optimal linking opportunities for your site.

Want to open all internal links in a new tab? No problem! Link Whisper has an optional setting for that.

## Start free. Upgrade when you're ready to go hands-off.

The free version gives you AI-powered link suggestions right in your editor and a link health report showing orphan pages and link distribution. Most users see immediate value on their first writing session.

When you're ready to add links in bulk, auto-link across your entire site, or get full broken link reporting — that's when Link Whisper Premium pays for itself.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Why Is Internal Linking Important for SEO? =

Internal linking helps search engines understand how your content is connected and which pages are most important. A strong internal linking structure improves crawlability, distributes authority across your site, and helps users discover more of your content. Link Whisper makes internal link building faster and more strategic by showing you the best linking opportunities automatically.

= What Kind of Link Suggestions Can I Expect? =

Link Whisper helps with internal link building by analyzing your content and identifying relevant connections between your posts and pages. It suggests natural, in-context links that make sense to readers and strengthen your site structure for SEO.

You will see suggestions based on topics, keywords, and meaning, not just exact word matches. This means the links are typically more relevant and useful than manual linking.

You are always in full control. You can accept, edit, or ignore any suggestion with a click.

= What if I Want to Remove Links After I Make Them? =

Yes. Any links you create with Link Whisper can be removed or changed at any time. The plugin simply helps you with internal link management, but the links themselves are normal WordPress links that you control.

Just open your post or page, edit the link, and save. :)

= What if I Uninstall the Plugin, What Happens to All My Links? =

All your links will remain active, even if you uninstall the plugin! Once you add internal links to your site, they are just like any other link. They are “permanent” links that will only be removed if you want them to (even if you stop using Link Whisper…which we hope you never do!).

= Will Internal Linking Help Me Rank Better in Google? =

Internal links are one of Google's strongest on-page ranking signals — and Link Whisper makes sure you're not leaving any of them on the table. Thousands of users report improved rankings and traffic after getting their internal link structure right.

= Who Should Use LinkWhisper? =

Link Whisper is designed for bloggers, marketers, agencies, and website owners who want to improve their SEO with better internal linking. It is especially helpful for content-heavy WordPress sites where managing links manually becomes time-consuming, particularly as AI tools make it easier than ever to publish more content.

The more content you publish, the more opportunities Link Whisper can find to strengthen your site structure and help your pages rank.

= What is Required to Use Link Whisper? =

Link Whisper is a WordPress plugin, so you just need a self-hosted WordPress site where you can install plugins. After activation, it integrates into your dashboard and starts helping you find internal linking opportunities and improve SEO right away.

= What if I Don’t Like the Link Suggestions I’m Getting? =

Remember, you can customize the settings to fine tune the types of links are suggested. You can set certain words and phrases to be ignored if certain suggestions are coming up too much. While the link suggestions are excellent right out of the box for most people, if you want help fine-tuning your settings, just let us know.

= Can I use Link Whisper with languages other than English? =

<ul>

= Does Link Whisper work with custom post types or WooCommerce products? =

Yes to both!

WooCommerce was a special focus when developing LinkWhisper because we knew it would be important to store owners.

Link Whisper should work with most custom post types since we adhere to WordPress post type standards for data retrieval.

= Will Link Whisper Work With Other SEO Plugins? =

Yes it will. In fact, if you’re using plugins like Yoast SEO, Rank Math, or All in One SEO Link Whisper Premium will automatically pull in those target keywords, so you don't have to duplicate any work!
