How to Add Google Search Console Keywords to a Post

What this does

Once Google Search Console is connected to Linkilo, you can see which keywords each page is actually ranking for in Google. You can then mark specific GSC keywords as "associated" with the post — Linkilo will use those keywords to find link suggestions where the page would be a good destination.

This is one of the highest-signal sources for link suggestions because you're using keywords Google has already validated.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the page or post in the WordPress editor
  2. Scroll down to the Linkilo panel
  3. Click Google Search Console Keywords
  4. You'll see a list of keywords this page ranks for, with their position and impressions
  5. Check the box next to any keyword you want to associate with this page
  6. Click Update existing keywords

The selected keywords now appear in the All Keywords section for this page and are added to Linkilo's link-suggestion engine.

What to look for

When choosing which GSC keywords to associate:

  • Position 5-20: these are pages knocking on the door of page 1. Internal links pointing to them with that keyword as anchor text can push them up.
  • High impressions, mid-position: Google clearly thinks the page is relevant — help it along with stronger internal links.
  • Long-tail variants: sometimes more interesting than the head term because the intent is clearer.

Re-fetching keyword data

GSC data refreshes when you run Linkilo → Focus Keywords → Perform Scan. If a page is missing keywords you'd expect, run a fresh scan.

Combine with other sources

GSC keywords stack with your custom keywords, Rank Math / Yoast focus keywords, and the post's content itself. Use all four sources for the richest link-suggestion set.
