Your buying guides can still send people to products.
Silotree finds the products only your shop grid links to, and suggests links to them from guides and blog posts you already wrote, in sentences that already name them. Approve them from a weekly email, about ten minutes a week. Product descriptions are read and left alone.
of 340 products have no link from anything you wrote. Category grids and related-product rows reach them; no sentence does.

The guide is the page people find, and it already names the kettle and the dripper in its own sentences. Two links there move readers from the article that ranks to the pages that sell.
Three things a general linking tool misses here
Products that only the grid knows about
Category pages and related-product rows link to everything equally, so they say nothing about which product matters. Google recommends linking every product you want indexed, and notes that its crawler does not type into your search box to find them1.
What Silotree doesCount only the links inside your writing, and list the products nothing written links to, ranked by the clicks a link should earn. Category grids and related-product rows are read as navigation and never scored as endorsements.
Guides that name products and do not link them
A buying guide that says “a gooseneck kettle pours more slowly” has already done the hard part. The link is missing because nobody went back after the product went live. Google asks for anchor text that is descriptive and relevant to both pages2, which is exactly what the guide’s own wording is.
What Silotree doesFind the sentence in the guide that already names the product, and propose the link on those words. When you publish a new product, it asks straight away which older guides should point to it.
Discontinued products leave holes in old posts
Delete a product, or change the product base in WooCommerce’s permalink settings3, and every guide that linked to the old address now points at a 404 or a redirect.
What Silotree doesReport links in your writing that hit a missing page or a redirect. A redirected link is offered back pointed at where the page now lives; a dead one is offered off, keeping the words. Every change is one click to undo.

Paste your address. Silotree reads every post and lists the ones nothing links to, the posts readers and Google rarely reach.

Clear the backlog this afternoon
Every suggestion at once, best first: a sentence you already wrote, a phrase in it, and the post it should lead to. Approve the strong matches in one click, skip what doesn’t read well.

We write them in
Press Write and the plugin adds exactly those links, in one batch. A revision is saved first, and any batch comes out again in one click. After that, a weekly email brings up to five new ones.
Suggestions point from your guides and posts to products and to other articles. Category pages are read as listings, counted in the audit and never suggested as a link target, so a link from a guide to a category is one you add yourself.
Your shop links to every product, and none of it is writing
What is different about online shops
A store is the opposite of a blog: every product is one click from a category grid, a related-products row or a menu, so a tool counting links concludes it is perfectly connected. Google says it reads how pages link to each other for their relative importance, and suggests linking a product from the home page or from content such as blog posts1. The grid says a product exists. A sentence in a guide that ranks says it is the answer, and that is the link most stores never make.
It does not write into product descriptions
Where Silotree is weaker for you
Silotree edits nothing it cannot put back, and it puts things back from WordPress revisions. WooCommerce registers products without revision support4, and WordPress keeps no revisions for a post type without it5, so product descriptions are read, linked to and never written. Links go from your posts and pages to your products. If you want product-to-product links in descriptions, a developer can add revision support to products, and then they are written like any post; without that, they are yours to add.
Questions people ask
Will it touch my product pages, prices or variations? · Do filter and sort addresses mess up the audit? · We have thousands of products. Will it cope?
Will it touch my product pages, prices or variations?
No. Products are read so they can be linked to, and nothing on a product is edited out of the box, because WooCommerce products keep no revisions and Silotree only writes what it can undo4,5. Inside your posts, links go only into ordinary paragraphs and lists: never inside a product block, a shortcode, a heading or a button.
Do filter and sort addresses mess up the audit?
An address with a query string whose canonical tag names the plain page is read as that page, not as a page of its own, and nothing is suggested to point at a page whose canonical names another6. Category archives are counted as listings rather than as articles.
We have thousands of products. Will it cope?
The free audit reads up to 500 pages, which on a big catalogue is the first slice rather than the whole shop, and it says where it stopped. Solo reads 5,000 a scan and Agency 50,000. New accounts get 14 days of Solo with no card, and your first 3 links are written free.
