Pro Tip
If links aren't appearing on your store, first check that InterLinks is enabled, then verify your CSS selector matches your theme's content container.

Page Visibility

Control which page types display your internal links. Enable or disable linking on specific content types to fine-tune where keywords are matched and linked.

Blog Posts
Display internal links within your blog article content
Product Descriptions
Display internal links within product description content
Pages
Display internal links on static pages (About, Contact, FAQ, etc.)
Collection Descriptions
Display internal links within collection page descriptions
Enabled
Links will be automatically injected when keywords are found in the content.
Disabled
No links will appear on this content type, even if keywords match.
Note
Disabling a page type will not delete your existing links - they simply won't be displayed until you re-enable that content type.

Additional CSS Selectors

Add extra areas where InterLinks should look for keywords.

.custom-content #product-tabs

404 Detection

Monitor your store for broken links in real-time. When 404 Detection is enabled, InterLinks automatically logs any link that leads to a non-existent page.
