How to automate internal linking?

A Webflow site with 11000+ content. Need to interlink all those. It will drive me nuts if i try to do this tracking in google sheet.

On my Shopify and Wordpress sites I use Linkboss. It handles it perfectly. Fast & the suggestions are good. Ditched the previous tool I was using after finding Linkboss. But they natively don't support Webflow sites.

Is there no good tool available for it? I need something at least half decent to save my sanity. Tried n8n to automate, but the post formatting breaks.

Is this for a site map or index?

However, it is possible to automate it directly using SQL queries and Python

Automating internal linking on a large website can be really difficult, especially when there are many pages.

Instead of fully automating everything, it is better to start with a simple approach. You can first identify important pages and add internal links to them manually. Using clear keywords and organizing content into related topics can also help in linking pages properly.

For platforms like Webflow, complete automation may not work well. A mixed method works better, where tools or scripts only suggest links and you decide which ones to add. This helps keep the content readable and avoids incorrect links.

My experience with "automated links" has always been disappointing. Rarely gets it right.

Curated (deliberate) linking, on the other hand, not only directs the user to useful information it provides a clear and concise "hierarchy map" to search engines and boots authority.

ALSO, not every internal page needs a high level link.

not every internal page needs a high level link.

Scraping a list of links with tools like Xenu and then weeding out unwanted links might be the way to go.
