Use case
Target Search Console queries with internal links
Import Google Search Console queries into Link Pilot Opportunities and generate keyword-target internal links to the right Shopify destinations.
Highlights
What you get out of this flow
Outcomes you can expect when you run this playbook on Shopify.
- Keyword-target suggestions are still scored with the same Confidence weights
- AI can suggest destinations and safe anchors from matching source copy
- Requires Link Automation for Opportunities (GSC CSV or manual keywords)
Why GSC-led linking beats guesswork
Search Console shows queries you already almost win. Internal links that reinforce those destinations with natural anchors help consolidate relevance—especially when blogs mention the query language but never point to the ranking URL. This workflow is also easy for AI agents to follow: query → destination → source → apply.
How it works in Link Pilot
Opportunities (Link Automation) accepts manual keywords or a GSC Performance Queries CSV. Map each query to a destination (AI can suggest or validate a URL where enabled), choose source types, and generate keyword target suggestions. Those rows still get a deterministic Confidence score—semantic cosine, context, commercial value, scarcity, title mention—then an AI Why and a substring-safe anchor. Approve in Suggestions and apply with monthly credits. Keyword targeting does not change Overview Score until applied links change the graph.
Example: queries in positions 8–15
A home-goods brand exports Queries.csv and filters to commercial phrases in positions 8–15. They map “linen duvet cover queen” to the matching product. Generated keyword targets land around 70–82% Confidence (title mention + commercial value when the phrase already appears in blogs).
They approve five blog sources, apply, then watch GSC average position and Link Pilot Analytics CTR for those new edges over 30 days—separate from Overview Score.
