How to Build Internal Links Across Your Site with Letterdrop
Building internal links is integral to the SEO health of any site. But keeping track of them with a master spreadsheet demands a lot of upkeep, and becomes almost impossible as you scale.
This happened to us over at Cypher. After onboarding Letterdrop, we're now able to:
- Automatically insert relevant internal links on page based on semantic suggestions
- Publish internal linking suggestions in bulk across our site (we use Webflow)
- Automatically "find and replace" links across our pages using relevant keywords and phrases
How it Works
- Connect your site to Letterdrop
- While in the editor, accept internal linking suggestions
- Publish linking suggestions across your site from the Internal Links dashboard
- Use "Find and Replace" to help you replace any link with a new one
The Playbook
Step 1: Connect Your Site to Letterdrop
For this example, I'll show you how to connect Letterdrop to Webflow. The process works in pretty much the same way for all sites.
1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations
2. Scroll down to Blog Hosting and click "Connect" on the Webflow option
3. You will be redirected to sign in to Webflow. Then, select the collections you want to connect and click "Authorize App"
Step 2: Accept Internal Linking Suggestions in the Editor
While writing in the Letterdrop editor:
1. Navigate to SEO Optimization, enter your keyword, and click analyze
2. Scroll down to Internal Links. Accept the suggestion to add the link to your text automatically
Step 3: Publishing Linking Suggestions in Bulk
1. Navigate to Blog > Internal Links
2. Accept suggestions to auto-add and publish them
Step 4: Use Find and Replace to Replace Links
1. Navigate to Blog > Find and Replace
2. Enter your target search term. Follow the given link to quickly replace it
