Auto Internal Linking
When you publish, Postlyo scans your content for mentions of other posts and automatically creates internal links. This improves SEO by connecting related content.
How it works:
- Postlyo fetches your published post titles
- Scans your content for mentions of other posts
- If no matches, looks for significant keywords from titles
- Inserts links to related posts automatically
More links = better SEO
Post Status & Publishing
Posts have three statuses that control visibility. When you publish, Postlyo triggers all the automatic features: sitemap update, Google indexing, internal linking.
Private. Only visible to you and team members. No SEO actions triggered.
Live on your blog. Sitemap updated, Google notified, internal links inserted.
Auto-publishes at scheduled time. Same automatic actions trigger on publish.
Working with Drafts
Drafts are private and don't trigger any SEO actions. Use them for work-in-progress content.
- Save as Draft saves without publishing
- Preview shows exactly how it will look when published
- Auto-generated fields update as you edit (if untouched)
- Click Publish when ready to go live
