Best for WordPress internal link suggestions
Linkilo suggests internal links in the WordPress editor with anchors taken from your own sentences, and also handles broken links, 404s and orphan pages, from $59 a year. It runs only inside WordPress, the AI parts need your own paid OpenAI key, and there's no free version or trial.
Who Linkilo is for
- Fits if you run a WordPress blog with a large archive and want link suggestions to approve
- Works for affiliate site owners running several WordPress sites on one licence
Who Linkilo is not for
- Skip it if your site isn't on WordPress, as it installs only as a plugin from a ZIP file
- Tight if you want the AI suggestions, as they run on your own OpenAI key and OpenAI bills you
- Not for you if you want to try first, as there's no free plan or trial, only a 30-day money-back guarantee
- Watch out: licences renew yearly, and if you cancel, updates, support and dashboard refreshes stop
Why Linkilo gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneySingle is $59 a year for one site, about $5 a month, well under 60% of this category's cheaper quarter. Every plan has every feature; you only pay more for more sites.
- FFree plan and trialNothing free: no free plan and no trial. A 30-day money-back guarantee is the only safety net, and that isn't a trial.
- CFeaturesLink suggestions with anchors from your own text, broken link repair, a 404 log with redirects, orphan pages, topic clusters and a log of 40+ crawlers. It does internal linking fully, but that's a smaller job, and the AI needs your own OpenAI key.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. It installs from a ZIP file into WordPress, and the AI stages need your own OpenAI API key, billed by OpenAI.
- BPlatforms and integrationsRuns inside WordPress, with Search Console, Yoast SEO, Rank Math and Elementor, plus an MCP server that lets Claude read its link data. Nothing for sites off WordPress.

Keep Linkilo, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Linkilo you could make: internal linking. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $59 a year.
What you could make
- Internal linking: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Millions of server log lines read to see what search bots crawl.
- It plugs into other products, Google Search Console, OpenAI and Claude among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Linkilo’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Linkilo?
Linkilo is a WordPress plugin that suggests internal links in the post editor, with anchor text taken from sentences already in your content, and adds them once you approve. It also checks for broken links, logs 404s for one-click redirects, finds orphan pages, groups posts into topic clusters and records which search and AI crawlers visit each page. Every plan has every feature; plans differ only in the number of sites.
Worth knowing
- It runs only inside WordPress, installed as a plugin from a ZIP file.
- AI features need your own OpenAI API key, and OpenAI bills that usage separately.
- There is no free plan or trial, only a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- Licences renew yearly; after cancelling, added links stay but updates, support and dashboard refreshes stop.
Key features
- Internal link suggestions
- Ranked suggestions wait on each post's edit screen with the anchor already chosen from your own text, and nothing is added until you approve it.
- Free matching plus optional AI
- A phrase-matching engine always runs at no extra cost; AI stages that weigh intent and topics run on your own OpenAI key.
- Broken links and redirects
- Finds dead internal and external links for one-click repair, and logs every 404 with its hit count so it can be redirected from the log.
- Orphan pages and topic clusters
- Lists pages that nothing links to, groups posts into topics with their pillar pages, and reports anchor text and link clicks.
- Crawl log analyzer
- Records visits from more than 40 bots, including AI crawlers, and flags fake Googlebot visits, without server log access.
- MCP server for AI assistants
- Gives assistants such as Claude 19 tools that read the site's link data. It is off and read-only by default, and every call is logged.
