Internal links while you write — not after.
AP Internal Linking Helper adds an editor-side panel that suggests internal links as you draft posts and pages. No separate audit, no hunting through search.
- See useful internal link targets for the post you’re editing.
- Stop bouncing between the editor and separate search tools.
- Keep internal linking as a small, automatic step in your publishing flow.
Free stays useful on its own. Pro is for when you’re publishing regularly and want more speed and control.

What it does
This plugin is for people who actually write: bloggers, niche site builders, and small business owners who publish content themselves. Instead of running a separate audit every time, it brings internal link opportunities into the place you’re already working — the editor.
Editor sidebar
Open a focused panel inside the block editor with suggested internal links for the post you’re editing.
Faster publishing
Turn “add 2–3 internal links” into a quick end-of-draft step instead of a separate task.
Lightweight by design
No dashboards, no front-end widgets, no tracking. Just an editor helper.
What Pro adds
The free plugin gets you into the habit of linking as you go. Pro removes the remaining friction and gives you more control over what shows up in the sidebar.
One-click insert
Select text, pick a suggestion, and insert the link directly without leaving the editor flow.
Deeper suggestions
See more potential targets per post so older but relevant content doesn’t stay buried.
Rules & exclusions
Tell the plugin what to skip or prioritise so suggestions stay focused instead of noisy.

Who it’s for
This is not a giant all-in-one SEO suite. It’s a small tool built for:
- Writers and editors who live in the block editor and want internal linking to be part of the writing flow.
- Niche site owners who publish regularly and care about giving old content more internal support.
- Small businesses who need better internal linking without another heavy dashboard to maintain.
FAQ
Does the free version stay useful on its own?
Yes. The free version is designed to stand on its own as a simple, editor-based suggestion tool. Pro is an optional upgrade for extra speed and control.
Does this plugin add anything to the front end?
No. It’s an editor helper only. It doesn’t inject widgets or banners on the public site.
How do I get Pro after I pay?
After checkout via Stripe, you’ll receive a download link in your receipt. Download the ZIP, upload it to WordPress as a plugin, and activate it alongside the free version.
Will you add more features?
Yes, but carefully. The goal is to keep this focused and understandable. Future updates will stay aligned with that — making internal linking easier without turning it into another complex system to manage.
