Implementing internal links effectively is a key aspect of successful SEO strategies. Using URLsLab’s Link-Building feature, you can not only easily implement internal links but also optimize, track, and improve them. See how you can up your SEO game with URLsLab’s Link-Building feature!
What is the link-building feature?
The URLsLab’s Link Building feature is a helpful tool for managing, optimizing and monitoring internal keyword linking on your website. By managing your website's keywords with a user-friendly interface, the Link-Building module makes managing your website's keywords easy and convenient.
How it works?
In URLsLab, internal keywords can be imported or manually added. Each keyword has its own URLs, priority, language, and URL filter (optionally). You can also add tags based on your preferences or for better work tracking.
Once you’ve added keywords, you can continually modify or delete them as required. However, exercise caution when removing heavily used keywords, as this will lead to the loss of all automatically added internal links associated with them.
Keywords can be sorted by crucial information:
- Keyword priority,
- Keyword usage,
- URL filter
- Keyword length
- Type of keywords added
Besides that, you can also use a filter to display selected keywords only. For example: keywords only in English or links to the one exact URL. URLsLab’s internal link-building filter allows you to choose more filters simultaneously.
There aren’t any specific rules regarding the number of internal links a single URL can have, the maximum character count between links, or the amount of characters for each link that can be included in a paragraph.
You can customize various aspects of internal link-building in the Settings tab.

If you have a large number of keywords to add, choose the option “Import CSV”.
The process of uploading is usually very fast. However, if you have a larger CSV, it may take a bit longer.
To double-check the usage of the keyword, use the filter “keyword is equal”.
If you add more keywords to the same URL and want to see which keywords are linked automatically, use the filter “link is equal”.
