What is Interlinking?

Interlinking, or internal linking, refers to the practice of linking one page or post of your website to another page or post within the same domain.

It not only helps readers discover related content but also assists AI engines and search bots in understanding your site’s structure—an essential part of GEO success.

Here’s how you can leverage the Interlinking feature in the Editor -

STEP 1

Log in to your Scalenut account. Then, click the “Article Writer/Cruise Mode'' button available on the left navigation panel under the GEO Core section on your Scalenut Dashboard. You can also access the Interlinking feature from the Content Optimizer. But in this case, we’d be showing how to use the interlinking feature in the Article Writer.

STEP 2 

On the redirected screen, in the keywords field, enter your primary keyword along with any relevant secondary keywords. Next, select your target location and click the “Create” button to proceed. Or, simply open any report and head over to the Editor after completing the Cruise Mode steps.

STEP 3 

In the editor, you’ll find the ‘Interlinking’ option. Click on it. If no other domain was connected prior, you’d find a pop-up appear like this. Simply click on ‘Add Domain’
