With LinkStorm, you can build internal links in two ways: manually editing the content yourself or letting LinkStorm automatically insert the links into your content.
Manual vs. Automated Link Insertion
The automated approach is the preferred method, as it saves you and your team considerable time and effort.
1. Manual Link Insertion
With the manual approach, when you accept a link suggestion, the "Accept" button is replaced by a checkbox labeled "Implemented". After you manually edit the content to add the link, you simply click the checkbox to indicate that the link is now live in your content. This helps you keep track of which suggested links have been added manually.
2. Automated Link Insertion with Human Approval
The automated approach saves time and effort. When you accept a link suggestion by clicking the "Accept" button, LinkStorm immediately inserts the link into your content. If you need to remove a link, click on the "Accepted" link, and LinkStorm will remove it.
To enable automated link insertion, you need to:
Install the LinkStorm Snippet or LinkStorm WordPress Plugin.
Maintain an Active Subscription.

3. Fully Automated Link Insertion (Auto-Accept)
The new Auto-Accept feature provides full internal link-building automation by automatically accepting existing and new link suggestions. This eliminates the need for manual reviews, streamlining your workflow.
How to enable Auto-Accept:
Install the LinkStorm Snippet.
Navigate to the Settings page from your LinkStorm dashboard.
Toggle the Auto-Accept option to "On."
Save your changes.
LinkStorm will automatically process and accept link opportunities. You can review and manage these links later if needed.

SEO Considerations
LinkStorm uses JavaScript to insert links directly into your content. You don't need to worry about this impacting your SEO negatively—Google now uses a headless Chrome browser during the indexing process, which fully renders JavaScript content.

Summary
LinkStorm offers two convenient ways to insert internal links: the manual approach, which allows you to edit the content yourself, and the automated approach, which saves you time by inserting links automatically once you approve them. Installing the LinkStorm snippet or WordPress plugin allows you to fully utilize automated linking and streamline your workflow, all without sacrificing SEO quality.
