Internal Linking In Bulk Using a Python Script
You can interlink your pages in bulk using a Python script and set a series of rules for the script to execute. Additionally, you’ll need a CSV file containing all your pages, URLs, and targeted keywords. You can obtain the keywords you want to target from your Google Search Console by exporting them, cleaning them, and storing them in a separate spreadsheet. Furthermore, you can utilize AI integration with Google Sheets to suggest the top anchor text for the keywords.
Once your spreadsheet is ready, save it in CSV format. Then, execute your script to retrieve data and update your database. It’s essential for the script to connect to your database, regardless of the CMS you are using.
