How to Add Custom Keywords to a Post

Why custom keywords matter

Linkilo finds link opportunities based on the keywords associated with each post — focus keyword, GSC-ranked keywords, and any custom keywords you add. The richer that keyword set, the better the suggestions.

Custom keywords are your way of saying "I want this post to be considered a candidate for these phrases" — useful when:

• You have a strategically important keyword that doesn't appear in the post body
• You're building topic clusters and want a hub page tagged with cluster-level terms
• You want long-tail variants surfaced as anchor-text options

Step-by-step

1. Open a page or post in the WordPress editor
2. Scroll down to the Linkilo panel
3. Click Custom Keywords
4. Type a keyword in the input
5. Click Add Row to add more — one keyword per row
6. When you're done, click Create New Keyword (or Save) to save them

The custom keywords are now part of the keyword set Linkilo uses to suggest links to that post.

What good custom keywords look like

• Specific: "best espresso machine under $500" beats "espresso machine"
• Linkable: something a writer could naturally use as anchor text
• Genuinely related: keywords the post would actually answer

Avoid jamming dozens of unrelated keywords — that just makes Linkilo surface irrelevant suggestions.

Removing or editing custom keywords

In the same Linkilo panel, you can edit a custom keyword inline or click Delete to remove it. Changes save immediately.
