/ what it does

Internal links are the cheapest SEO win most sites never claim — every editor forgets to add them, and the ones that exist rot the moment a slug changes. BBA Internal Link Machine fixes that: define keyword rules once and the plugin links those phrases automatically across your posts and pages, builds out your pillar-page structure, and shows you a visual link map of what points where. Free covers up to 5 keyword rules with manual per-post apply and URL exclusions — genuinely useful on its own. Pro lifts the cap to unlimited rules, runs bulk processing across every existing post, adds pillar-page weighting, CSV export, Elementor support, and keyword-variation matching for power users.

/ who it's for

If any of these sound like you

Content sites and blogs drowning in orphan posts

You publish constantly and half your posts have zero internal links pointing at them. Define keyword rules once and the machine wires new and old content together automatically — no more remembering to link by hand.

SEO folks building topic clusters

Pillar pages, supporting articles, the whole hub-and-spoke model. Mark your pillars, set the rules, and let pillar-page weighting (Pro) push link equity where you want it. The visual link map shows the structure at a glance.

Agencies maintaining client sites at scale

Unlimited rules, bulk processing across an entire archive, CSV export of the link map for reporting, and Elementor support (all Pro) make this the tool you run once per client and forget about.

WooCommerce / large-catalog sites

Keyword-variation matching catches the dozen ways people phrase the same product or category, so related items cross-link themselves without you maintaining a spreadsheet of anchors.

What's in the box

Everything in the free column works on its own — install it and you're done. The pro column is an optional upgrade for power users; you never need it to use the plugin.
