Keywords to Automate
The primary keyword that triggers the link. Click to edit the link details.
Content Type
Badge showing what type of page the link points to (Product, Collection, Blog Post, Page, etc.).
Instances
How many times this keyword appears across your store's content. Higher = more potential link placements.
Destination URL
The URL path where the link points. Hidden on smaller screens.
Status
Active links are live on your store. Draft links are saved but not active.
An instance is each occurrence of your keyword found across your store's content. If "running shoes" appears 24 times across products, collections, pages, and blog posts, that's 24 instances.
No matches found - keyword doesn't appear in your content
Low instances - consider more content or broader keywords
High instances - great link coverage potential!
