The problem

Your Anchor Text Is Working — Just Not for You.

Anchors are how Google reads your internal links. When they’re vague, repetitive, or pointing everywhere, you send muddled signals you can’t even see.

The same anchor, hammered over and over

Repeating one exact phrase to the same page looks unnatural — the opposite of the signal you want.

Generic and empty anchors pass no topical meaning — wasted internal links on your most-read posts.

One anchor pulling in three directions

When a phrase links to several pages, you split its ranking signal across all of them.

You simply can’t see it by hand

Hundreds of posts, thousands of links. No human reads every anchor — so the problems stay hidden.

Anchor text is one of the few on-page signals you fully control. Most sites never audit it — because doing it by hand is impossible.

Linkilo reads the links already in your content and turns them into a ranked to-do list: which anchors are risky, which are wasted, and which are fine.

No external crawl. No guesswork. Just your real links, scored.

Inside the report

Every anchor, every issue, ranked by severity.

See what each anchor links to, how often, what’s wrong with it, and how urgent it is — without leaving WordPress.

Linkilo Anchor Report: full anchor-text inventory with health flags and a 0-100 severity score per anchor
Severity, ranked

A 0–100 score with the exact reasons behind it.

Health flags

Generic, overused, empty, multi-URL and more — labelled.

Internal & external

Filter to the link type you’re working on.

What it catches

Eight anchor problems, found for you.

Each one is flagged on the exact anchors affected — no hunting.

Exact-match overuse

The same anchor pointing to one page 4+ times — the pattern that reads as unnatural.

Pointing to multiple URLs

One phrase linking to several pages — splitting your own ranking signal.

Generic anchors

“Click here”, “read more”, “this” — links that tell Google nothing.

Empty / image-only

Links with no text at all — a completely lost SEO signal.

Raw URL as anchor

A naked URL used as link text instead of a descriptive phrase.

Long auto-generated

12+ word anchors — usually a paragraph accidentally turned into a link.

Symbol-only anchors

Arrows and punctuation (›, →, ») doing the work text should.

Brand anchors

Flagged for context, not penalized — so your profile reads naturally.

What you can do

Answers to what you’d actually ask.

What anchors do I even have?

A complete inventory of every link text on your site, with how often each is used and where it points.

Which ones are risky?

A 0–100 severity score ranks anchors so the high-risk ones rise to the top.

Why is this one flagged?

Every score shows its reasons — overused, generic, empty — so you know what to change.

Internal or external?

Switch scope to focus on the internal links you control, the external ones, or both.

Can I work outside WordPress?

Export the full report to CSV for spreadsheets, audits, or client deliverables.

Will it choke a big site?

No. A light overview loads first; heavy detail loads only for rows you open — fast on huge catalogs.

1. Inventory

Linkilo reads the links already in your content — every anchor, internal and external.

2. Score

Each anchor is checked against 8 health flags and given a 0–100 severity score.

3. Fix

Work top-down: rewrite vague anchors, vary overused ones, fix empty links. Export to track it.

How it compares

A list of anchors isn’t an audit. Knowing which are risky — and why — is.

Quick answers

What exactly is the Anchor Report?

A complete inventory of every anchor (link text) in your content, each checked against 8 health flags and given a 0–100 severity score so you know what to fix first.

Does it crawl my site like an external tool?

No — and that’s the point. It reads the links already in your content right inside WordPress. No external crawl, no third-party servers, nothing to set up.

How is the severity score calculated?

It weighs the issues that actually matter: an anchor pointing to multiple URLs, exact-match overuse, generic or empty text, and more. Each anchor’s score shows the reasons behind it.

Will it slow my site down?

No. It’s an admin-side report — nothing runs on visitor page loads — and it’s built to open fast even on sites with tens of thousands of links.

Do I need to be an SEO expert?

No. Problems are labelled in plain language and ranked by severity, so you always know what to fix and why — no jargon required.
