All CMS Support

LinkBoss works with any content management system. If you use Webflow, Squarespace, Wix, Ghost, Notion, or a custom CMS, you can still leverage LinkBoss’s AI-powered internal linking suggestions. The difference is that you will copy and paste the suggested links into your content editor manually.

How Manual Integration Works

With manual integration, LinkBoss analyzes your content and suggests internal links just like it does for WordPress and Shopify. Instead of automatically inserting links, LinkBoss provides you with the exact link HTML or plain text that you copy into your CMS.

  • Same semantic intelligence: You get the same context-aware link suggestions based on paragraph analysis.
  • Same features: Orphan page detection, anchor text tracking, and silo planning all work the same way.
  • Manual implementation: You review suggestions and paste them into your content editor.
  • Full control: You decide exactly which links go live and where.

Supported Platforms

Manual integration works with any platform where you can edit content. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Webflow — Add links through the Webflow Designer or CMS collection editor
  • Squarespace — Insert links in blog posts and pages using the built-in editor
  • Wix — Add internal links through the Wix Editor
  • Ghost — Paste links directly into the Ghost editor
  • Notion — Create internal links in your published Notion pages
  • HubSpot — Add links to blog posts and landing pages
  • Custom CMS — Any platform with a content editor works
  • Static site generators — Works with Hugo, Jekyll, Next.js, and others

How to Use LinkBoss with Any CMS

Step 1: Add Your Content to LinkBoss

  1. Log in to your LinkBoss dashboard at app.linkboss.io.
  2. Create a new project and select Custom as your platform.
  3. Add your LinkBoss account email and the domain in the form and press Submit.
  4. And that’s it! We will let you know once the site is added to your account.

Step 2: Review Link Suggestions

  1. LinkBoss generates internal link suggestions based on semantic relevance.
  2. Each suggestion shows the source page, target page, suggested anchor text, and the context where the link fits.
  3. Review suggestions to ensure they make sense for your content.

Step 3: Copy Link Suggestions

  1. For each approved suggestion, LinkBoss provides the link in two formats:
  2. HTML format: Ready to paste into source code or HTML editors (e.g., <a href="/target-page">anchor text</a>)
  3. Plain text format: Just the URL and anchor text for visual editors
  4. Copy the format that works best with your CMS.

Step 4: Paste Links into Your CMS

  1. Open the source page in your CMS editor.
  2. Find the location mentioned in the suggestion.
  3. Add the link using your editor’s link tool or paste the HTML directly.
  4. Save and publish your changes.

Step 5: Mark Links as Complete

  1. Back in LinkBoss, mark each implemented link as “Complete” or “Applied” by pressing the “Update” button.
  2. This keeps your dashboard accurate and helps track progress.
  3. LinkBoss updates your anchor text distribution and site health metrics.

Tips for Manual Implementation

Batch Your Work

Instead of implementing links one at a time, review all suggestions for a single page and add them in one editing session. This is more efficient and helps you see how links work together on each page.

Prioritize High-Value Pages

Start with your highest-traffic pages and pillar content. These pages pass the most link equity, so links from them provide the most SEO benefit. LinkBoss highlights high-priority opportunities in your dashboard.

Use the HTML Format When Possible

The HTML format ensures your links are structured correctly with proper anchor text. If your CMS has an HTML or source code view, paste the link there to avoid formatting issues.

Check Link Placement

After pasting links, preview your page to make sure they appear correctly. Some CMS editors add extra formatting or break links during copy-paste. A quick preview catches these issues before publishing.

Limitations of Manual Integration

  • More time required: You implement each link manually instead of automatic insertion.
  • Sync is not automatic: You need to add new content to LinkBoss as you publish it.
  • Human error possible: Typos or missed links can happen during manual implementation.
  • No real-time updates: Link status updates require manual marking in LinkBoss.

Despite these limitations, you still get the core benefit of LinkBoss: AI-powered semantic link suggestions that would take hours to identify manually.
