What Is KoalaLinks and How to Use It

KoalaLinks adds internal links, related posts and entity schema markup to the pages of your website. You add your site once, KoalaLinks analyzes each page, and a small code snippet places the results on your live pages.


KoalaLinks is included with Professional and higher plans.


Credits and limits


  • Indexing your pages is free. KoalaLinks reads your sitemaps and lists every page without using credits.
  • Analyzing a page uses 2 credits. Analysis creates that page's internal links, related posts and schema.
  • If KoalaLinks can't fetch or read a page, the attempt uses 1 credit and the page stays unanalyzed. The page details show the crawl error.
  • You can add up to 50 sites per account.
  • Each site indexes up to 15,000 pages from its sitemaps. Contact support if your site is larger.


Add your site


  1. Go to KoalaLinks and click Add Domain.
  2. Enter your domain (for example foodfaq.org) and click Add Domain.
  3. KoalaLinks looks for your sitemaps. Check the list, tick Ignore for any sitemap you don't want indexed, or add a sitemap URL if none were found.
  4. Click Next, then Save. Indexing starts in the background.


If no pages show up after indexing, make sure your XML sitemap is public, then click the gear icon on the site page to edit your sitemaps.


Analyze your pages


You can analyze one page, a selection, or the whole site.


  • One page: click the page in the URLs tab, then click Analyze This Page.
  • Several pages: tick them in the table and click Analyze Selected.
  • Every page: click Bulk Analyze. The confirmation shows how many pages will be analyzed and how many credits it will use. Leave the Skip N pages that have already been analyzed box ticked to avoid paying for those pages again.



Turn on the Autopilot toggle to analyze new pages automatically. Autopilot picks up pages within a day of them appearing in your sitemap and uses 2 credits per page. It doesn't touch pages you already have.


Install the snippet


Analysis results only appear on your site once the KoalaLinks snippet is installed.


  1. On your site's page in KoalaLinks, click Snippet.
  2. In the Embed Code window, click Copy Code.
  3. Paste the code into your site's HTML (the header is the usual place).


On WordPress, the free WPCode plugin works: paste the code in its Header section and save. For selectors, templates and options, see KoalaLinks Code Snippet and Configuration.




Analysis finds phrases in your content that should link to your other pages. KoalaLinks adds new links and leaves your existing links and text alone. To remove a link you don't want, open the page in the URLs tab, hover over the link and click the trash icon.



On your live page, the links appear once the snippet is installed:




KoalaLinks scores your other pages by relevance and shows the closest matches:



By default the snippet places a related post before each H2:



It also adds a Related Posts list at the end of the article:



Entity schema markup


Analysis generates Schema.org WebPage markup listing the topics the page is about and mentions. You can edit it in the page details and click Save Schema. To remove it, clear the text box and save.



To confirm it's live, run your page through the Schema Markup Validator and look for about and mentions under WebPage:



Schema Rules and Settings


Each site has three tabs: URLs, Schema Rules and Settings.


  • Schema Rules adds your own JSON-LD to every page or to pages matching a URL pattern, such as Organization schema site-wide or FAQPage schema on /blog/*. Click + New Rule, pick Site-wide (every page) or URL pattern (glob), start from a template or paste your JSON-LD, then click Validate and Create Rule.
  • Settings turns each part of the snippet on or off for the whole site: entity schema, schema rules, per-URL custom schemas, internal links and related posts. Force cache refresh pushes your latest changes to your site straight away.


Sitemap sync


KoalaLinks re-reads your sitemaps once a day. New pages get indexed (and analyzed, if Autopilot is on), and pages that leave your sitemap are marked Removed From Sitemap. Click Sync now at the top of the site page to sync right away (once every 10 minutes at most).


Export and API


  • Tick pages and click Export Selected to download a CSV with each URL, whether it's analyzed, and how many links were added.
  • Click API for the KoalaLinks API. It returns internal link suggestions for any text you send and uses 1 credit per request. Full details are in the Internal Linking API docs.


Sites you add to KoalaLinks are also available to KoalaWriter's internal linking. See How to enable internal linking in KoalaWriter.


Delete a site


Click the gear icon on the site page, click Delete, and type confirm when asked. This removes the site and all of its analysis, links and related posts, and it can't be undone.
