Using Rank Math Focus Keywords with Linkilo

What gets pulled

If you use Rank Math and set a focus keyword on a post, Linkilo automatically reads that focus keyword and adds it to the keyword list it uses for link suggestions.

This means stronger, more relevant link suggestions — Linkilo is matching against the same keyword you’ve already told Rank Math is important for that page.

You don’t have to do anything

There’s no setup. If Rank Math is active and the post has a focus keyword, Linkilo picks it up when the post is saved.

You’ll see Rank Math keywords listed in the LINKILO – Settings box on the post edit screen, in the All Keywords section.

If the keywords don’t show up

  1. Make sure Rank Math is active
  2. Go to Linkilo → Linking → Focus Keyword and click Perform Scan. This clears and re-imports your Yoast or Rank Math keywords (and refreshes Search Console keywords if Google is connected).
  3. Reload the post — the Rank Math keyword should now appear in the Linkilo box

Combining with custom keywords

Rank Math’s focus keyword + your own custom keywords + Search Console keywords all feed into Linkilo’s suggestion engine. The more relevant keywords each post has, the better the suggestions. The Focus Keyword page shows you which keyword each post should own and whether it is active.
