Internal Linking FAQ

Everything you need to know about automated internal linking

What if I don't like the anchor text?

You can edit any anchor text manually in the editor after your content is generated. The AI is very good at creating natural, optimized anchor text, but you have full control to change it if needed.

How many internal links does Machined.ai add per article?

It varies based on content length and relevance, but typically 3-5 contextual internal links per 1,500-word article. The AI avoids over-linking and ensures links feel natural.

Longer articles may have more links, while shorter articles will have fewer. The AI prioritizes quality over quantity—every link should add value for the reader.

Does this work for content clusters of any size?

Yes. Whether you have 5 articles or 50 articles, Machined.ai automatically finds and creates relevant internal links across all content.

The AI's ability to understand semantic relationships between articles means it can identify subtle connections that would be difficult to find manually.

Will automated linking hurt my SEO?

No. Machined.ai's internal linking follows SEO best practices: contextual placement, natural anchor text, relevance-based linking, and no over-optimization. It's exactly what an expert SEO would do manually, just automated.

Internal linking is one of the most powerful on-page SEO tactics. When done correctly (which Machined.ai does automatically), it helps search engines understand your site structure and distributes link equity effectively.

Can I exclude certain articles from internal linking?

Yes. You can exclude specific articles or set rules about which content should/shouldn't be linked. For example, you might exclude promotional pages, legal pages, or content you're planning to remove.
