Arcio – AI Internal Linking

Arcio analyzes your WordPress content with AI and suggests internal links that make genuine editorial sense. Unlike keyword-matching plugins, Arcio understands what your content is actually about and surfaces the contextual links a simple text-match could never find.

No API keys. No model setup. No third-party accounts. AI is included with every plan, including the free plan. Just install, activate, and start finding link opportunities.

How it works:

1. Indexing. Arcio reads each post on your site and builds a structured summary of its topics, themes, and intent. Summaries are stored locally in your WordPress database.
2. Analysis. When you run analysis on a post, Arcio compares it against every other post you’ve published and identifies the most relevant linking opportunities — with suggested anchor text, target URL, and a confidence score for each.
3. Review. You see every suggestion in your WordPress admin. Approve, reject, or apply with one click. Nothing changes in your published content until you decide to act.

Key features:

• Managed AI included — no API keys, no credits to top up, no third-party accounts. AI is bundled with every plan.
• Semantic understanding — Arcio analyzes meaning, not just keywords, so suggestions are contextually relevant.
• Two-pass analysis — efficient indexing followed by a deeper analysis pass for high-quality, low-cost suggestions.
• Configurable confidence threshold — tune suggestion quality to your standards.
• Insertion guardrails — set a maximum number of links per post, max links to the same target post, and minimum word distance between links.
• Orphan post detection — find posts on your site with zero incoming internal links.
• Link health monitoring — see broken internal links and post index status from a single dashboard.
• One-click suggestion management — approve, reject, apply, revert, or delete each suggestion individually, or in bulk.
• WordPress revisions integration — every link insertion creates a revision so you can roll back changes safely.
• Custom post type support — works with posts, pages, and any custom post type.
• Zero frontend impact — no scripts or styles loaded on your site’s frontend.

Plans and quotas:

Arcio meters by analyses per month. One analysis = running Arcio on one post or page.

• Free — 10 analyses per month
• Starter — 100 analyses per month
• Growth — 500 analyses per month
• Pro — 1,000 analyses per month
• Scale — 5,000 analyses per month

There are no site limits on any plan. Install Arcio on as many WordPress sites as you like — analyses are shared across all of them. Upgrade or downgrade at any time.

Privacy: Post titles and body text are sent to Arcio’s managed AI service when you trigger an analysis. In addition, when a post or page is published or updated, its title and a short excerpt (roughly the first 300 words) are sent to generate a semantic embedding used for finding related content. No personal user data is transmitted. Content is processed in real time and is not permanently stored, logged, or sold. See the full privacy policy at https://getarcio.com/privacy-policy/.

External services

Arcio relies on external services to analyze content and suggest internal links.

1. Arcio Managed AI Relay This plugin connects to the Arcio Managed AI Relay (hosted at https://getarcio.com/?rest_route=/arcio-relay/v1/) to proxy requests to the AI model securely without exposing an API key in the plugin code. – What is sent: When you click “Analyze Content” or run bulk analysis, the post titles and body content are sent to this relay service. When a post or page is published or updated, its title and a short excerpt (roughly the first 300 words) are sent to generate a semantic embedding. – When is it sent: Data is sent when you explicitly trigger an analysis, when a background analysis job you started runs, and when a post or page is published or updated (embedding refresh). – Privacy & Terms: – Terms of Service – Privacy Policy

2. Google Gemini API The Arcio Managed AI Relay forwards requests to the Google Gemini API (generativelanguage.googleapis.com) to generate embeddings and analyze text. The plugin itself never contacts Google directly — all AI traffic goes through the Arcio relay. – What is sent: Post content and titles are forwarded by the relay to the Gemini API to understand semantic context and generate linking suggestions. – When is it sent: Data is sent only when you trigger a post analysis, or when a post embedding is generated after a post is saved or analyzed. – Privacy & Terms: – Google Privacy Policy – Google Terms of Service
