What Each Metric Means

  • Total Links: The total number of automated links in your library (both Active and Draft).
  • Linked Pages: The number of unique destination URLs your links point to.
  • Anchor Text: Total count of anchor text variations (keywords + additional keywords).
  • Links Allowed: Your subscription limit. Free plans have a limit; paid plans show "Unlimited".

Understanding Instances

24

What is an Instance?

An instance is each occurrence of your keyword found across your store's content. If "running shoes" appears 24 times across products, collections, pages, and blog posts, that's 24 instances.

  • Higher instances = more opportunities for automatic links
  • Zero instances = keyword not found (nothing to display)
  • • Includes primary keyword + all additional keywords
  • • Counts are cached for performance, refreshed periodically
0

No matches found - keyword doesn't appear in your content

5

Low instances - consider more content or broader keywords

50+

High instances - great link coverage potential!

Duplicate keywords skipped

Enable "Overwrite existing" to update existing links instead of skipping them.

Subscription limit reached

Free plans have a link limit. Upgrade to import unlimited links.

Additional keywords not importing

Use pipe (|) separator, not comma. Example: shoes|footwear|sneakers

Bulk Actions

  • • Consider exporting before bulk delete for backup

Best Practices

Do

  • • Use specific, descriptive keywords
  • • Add additional keywords for variations (plurals, synonyms)
  • • Review instances count to ensure keywords exist in content
  • • Export regularly for backup
  • • Use tabs to quickly filter by content type
  • • Test links as Draft before setting Active

Don't

  • • Create links for keywords that don't exist in content (0 instances)
  • • Use overly broad keywords like "the" or "and"
  • • Duplicate keywords (use additional_keywords instead)
  • • Forget to enable "Overwrite" when updating via import
  • • Bulk delete without exporting first
  • • Ignore the subscription limit warnings
