Drew's Simple Internal Linking WordPress Plugin
A plugin to quickly add links to your WordPress site. Instantly convert text to links site-wide, free, fast, and easy. Available now.
While working on a client project, I finally snapped: enough with the clunky menus, unnecessary options, and endless upsells from WordPress plugins that promise to help with your internal linking.
All I wanted was a simple plugin that would turn certain words into certain links, site-wide, so I could gain the SEO benefit that comes with strong internal linking. So I built that.
Drew’s Simple Internal Linking is a free plugin that does one task, does it well, stays out of your way, and out of your wallet.
If you're looking for a simple way to do link insertion side-wide, give it a try. The download link is below.
How Drew's Simple Internal Linking Plugin Works
- Choose anchor text: Specify the word or phrase you want to automatically turn into a link.
- Set the target URL: Decide where you want those links to point.
- Pick the scope: Apply it to posts, pages, or both.
- See instant results: The plugin scans your content and makes the changes everywhere, case-insensitive and live.
Manage all your linking rules from a simple dashboard: re-run rules when you add content, remove old rules, and see real-time progress. No unnecessary bloat, popups, or hidden upsells.
Who It’s For
- Site owners seeking simplicity
- Bloggers who want quick control over their internal links with zero learning curve

Who It’s Not For
- If you need heavy automation, keyword suggestion, or analytics dashboards
- Power users demanding exhaustive SEO options, bulk import/export, or AB testing
- Enterprises with intricate custom post types and workflows needing deep customization or API hooks
