Link Whisper
Link Whisper is the most widely used WordPress internal linking plugin (50,000+ sites). It surfaces AI suggestions inside the editor as you write, adds links with one click, supports auto-linking rules, and reports on orphan posts and broken links, with Google Search Console integration. Pricing is a flat annual fee by site count.
Linkbot
Linkbot works from a two-line JavaScript snippet (or Google Tag Manager), so it runs on any platform without a plugin. Its AI analyzes content and inserts internal links automatically, with approval and tracking from a single dashboard. Because links are rendered client-side, it is the most hands-off option here — and the one where you should confirm Googlebot sees the links on your particular stack.
