Half Baked Link Injection lets you define simple rules that automatically replace whole-word phrases with links when WordPress renders post and page content.
It is designed for clean, predictable linking that stays out of your way. Rules are applied only to <code>the_content</code>, and existing links are never modified. This makes it useful for SEO hygiene, internal linking, and turning recurring terms into consistent references without editing each post manually.
<h4>How it works</h4>
Create one or more injection rules. Each rule includes: 
* A phrase (whole-word matching is always used) 
* A destination URL (internal relative links or external URLs) 
* Optional settings like case sensitivity, where it applies, and how often it triggers
When a post or page is displayed, the plugin scans only the text portions of the content and injects links where appropriate. It will not touch phrases inside existing <code><a></code> tags, and it skips script and style blocks to avoid breaking markup.
<h4>Targeting and control</h4>
Rules can be scoped and prioritized so you stay in control when phrases overlap or your site grows. 
* Post type targeting: apply a rule to Posts, Pages, or both 
* Priority ordering: lower numbers win when multiple rules could match the same spot 
* Tie-breaking: if priorities match, newer rules win
<h4>Occurrence options</h4>
Control how frequently each phrase is linked: 
* First 
* First + every Nth 
* Every Nth 
* All
This is useful when you want a light touch on long articles.
<h4>External links done properly</h4>
When a rule points to an external URL, the plugin: 
* Adds <code>target="_blank"</code> 
* Ensures <code>rel</code> includes <code>noopener noreferrer</code> 
* Lets you append additional rel tokens like <code>nofollow</code> or <code>sponsored</code>
Relative URLs stay relative and do not get <code>target="_blank"</code>.
<h4>Built for safety and performance</h4>
<ul>
<li>No recursion into <code>the_content</code></li>
<li>Processes content safely by splitting HTML and touching only text tokens</li>
<li>Skips existing <code><a></code> tags</li>
<li>Skips <code><script></code> and <code><style></code> blocks</li>
</ul>
<h4>Privacy and data</h4>
This plugin does not send any data off-site. Rules are stored locally in your WordPress database in a single option.
<h4>Uninstall</h4>
Uninstalling the plugin removes stored rules from your database.

Google Search Console tells you which keywords bring visitors to your site — but that data lives in Google’s dashboard, separate from the pages you edit in WordPress.
SEO Booster closes that gap. Connect Search Console once, import your keyword data, and see real search performance on every post, page, and taxonomy you edit. Turn GSC insights into actionable SEO tasks, automate internal linking across your site, and optionally use AI — powered by WordPress Connectors — to speed up content and image optimization.
Works alongside Yoast SEO, All in One SEO, and similar plugins — SEO Booster complements them with GSC-driven keyword intelligence, internal linking, and on-page analysis they typically do not provide.
Requires WordPress 6.8 or later.
<h4>AI with WordPress Connectors (optional)</h4>
Optional AI features use the WordPress Connectors system built into WordPress 7.0 or later. Set up your AI provider under Settings → Connectors in WordPress, then choose WordPress Connectors under SEO Booster → Settings → AI/LLM. GSC import, automatic links, and SEO analysis work fully without AI — leave it disabled if you prefer.

<h3>Automatic Links</h3>
Automatically turn keywords in your content into internal links. Every time you write “contact us”, it can link to your contact page — no manual linking required.
Works with WooCommerce products and major page builders. See the <a href="https://seoboosterpro.com/docs/automatic-links/supported-page-builders/" rel="nofollow ugc">supported page builders list</a> for details.
<h3>Image metadata batch tool</h3>
Find and fix missing image metadata across your Media Library without opening each attachment one by one. Go to SEO Booster → Tools → Image metadata.
<ul>
<li>Scan JPEG, PNG, and WebP attachments for missing title, alt text, caption, or description; preview matches before you act</li>
<li>Generate with AI by analyzing the actual image file — choose which fields to apply; only checked fields are saved</li>
<li>Process in batches — selected images or every match in your library, with live preview while processing</li>
<li>Fail-safe — if the AI cannot verify an image, nothing is saved; the tool prefers empty fields over wrong alt text</li>
<li>Works without AI — run scans and review gaps even when AI processing is not configured</li>
<li>Requires vision-capable AI for generation via WordPress 7 Connectors; text-only connectors cannot analyze images</li>
</ul>
